Real Estate Discounter Makes its Mark

In a traditionally strong real estate market, Florida homeowners are valuing the added equity they keep through utilizing the services of flat fee MLS and discount brokerages. In its first year Expert Realty has reportedly grabbed 5 percent of the market share in single family homes under $500,000 in Palm Beach and Broward counties. On a daily basis the market share of flat fee MLS brokers and discount brokerages is growing as consumers are now finding alternative methods to marketing their homes effectively without having to pay out the traditional 5 to 6 percent in realtor commissions.
