What is a Flat Fee MLS service? Want or need to sell your home on your own but still willing to pay an Agent who brings you a Buyer? Need the advertising power a Realtor's marketing tools can bring?

Recent reports by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) say that as many as 80% of buyers start their search for a home on the Internet. Newspaper and print ads won't do it. Want to be able to capture those Internet buyers and still save thousands of dollars while selling your home?

Our Brokerage has developed an approach that can save you thousands of dollars in fees, but can also expose your home to thousands of potential buyers and area Realtors. This advertising service will allow you to list your home in the local MLS (Multiple Listing Service) for a low flat fee of $499 instead of paying the full listing side commission (3% for our Brokerage). PLUS get the full exposure on hundreds of local and national websites that display MLS listings, including Realtor.com, a venue you cannot access unless your listing is in the MLS.

Why would other Realtors show your listing? You will still be offering a 3% commission (minimum $1,000) to an agent who brings you a buyer - just as they would receive when showing any other home in the MLS. You also have the benefit of the local name recognition of our Brokerage promoting your listing, rather than some out of town Brokerage no one has heard of. Keep in mind, you pay ZERO commission if you find a buyer without an agent! Sign up today as this is a limited time offer!

$499 Flat Fee Listing Service:

INCLUDED: Listing input into (2) area MLSs for 12 months (WRIST & West Central)

INCLUDED: Listing on Realtor.com with up to (4) owner-provided color photos

INCLUDED: Exposure over 200+ national and local real estate brokerage websites

INCLUDED: Up to (10) owner-provided color photos for MLS & company website

INCLUDED: Full color flyer provided (electronic PDF version emailed to owner)

INCLUDED: Unlimited changes to MLS listing for price reductions, etc.

INCLUDED: (1) professional yard sign with area for your phone number

INCLUDED: Unlimited Open Houses published on company website

INCLUDED: Keybox to use as convenience for Realtors showings

INCLUDED: (1) Free Comparative Market Analysis (CMA) by your listing agent

INCLUDED: Visibility of listing with a locally owned, proven and recognized Brokerage

INCLUDED: You only pay a 3% commission to the Buyer's Agent at closing.

INCLUDED: No Commissions are due if you are able to sell on your own.

Additional Information: The $499 fee is payable at time of listing prior to the listing being entered in the MLS. Check, VISA, MC, Paypal, cashiers check or money order accepted as payment. This $499 fee does not include the 3% (minimum $1,000) commission that is due at close of sale from you as the Seller if you choose to accept an offer from a buyer's agent client. $249 additional renewal fee if homeowner opts to extend listing for an additional twelve months upon the expiration of the initial term.

Because this is a limited service MLS listing only, the Seller will be fully responsible for required purchase contract documents, writing and understanding all purchase contracts, negotiations, counteroffers, any language found within the contract, any HOA (Home Owners Association) requirements, inspection addendums, required disclosures, appraisals, financing arrangements, and a variety of other items related to the sale of a property. Service for residential listings only.
