Mortgages are easier to come by as well
Competition from other prospective home mortgage applicants/buyers is at its lowest; so your purchase offer will be even more welcome than usual.
Another reason to shop for a home during the Christmas season is because fewer people are competing for mortgages. That means your mortgage application is more likely to be acted upon quickly and will be seen in greater favor. You should shop for a mortgage before you shop for a house. That way, you can walk in with your pre-approval letter and the seller knows you’ll have no problem securing the funds for your housing purchase.

List on the MLS and you’ll be listed locally as well as nationally
One in four buyers purchase a home they first saw on the Internet, according to a 2005 survey by the National Association of Realtors.
Veronica Melissas started out on Realtor.com, the Web site of the NAR that contains most of the MLS listings in the country.
When you list your house on IHS Realty, you get listed on Realtor.com and your local MLS web site. That’s the best exposure you can get. No matter where you live or where the property exists that you are selling, you’ll be listed nationally at Realtor.com and on IHS Realty’s web site and you’ll also be listed regionally and locally on the MLS in your area.
IHS Realty has been playing the flat fee game long enough, we know how to make it work for you. Don’t you want to do business with a trusted source? We weren’t just first. We’re also the best.

Avoid this mistake by studying the market before you list your house
The biggest mistake sellers make is to overprice their home. Simply put, overpriced homes don’t sell.
If you’ve had you house on the market for 90 days or more and haven’t had any offers, there’s a good chance you my be overpriced. If you haven’t had so much as anyone come to look at the house, it likely is overpriced. Buyers will not waste their time to view a home that they perceive is overpriced before even looking at it.
Unfortunately, many sellers who try it on their own end up going to a real estate agent and they don’t have to. If their house doesn’t sell, they think it’s them. It could just be the price. Before rushing out and picking a real estate agent, doing comparative market analysis to see where market prices for similar homes to yours are. If you see a sizeable difference in price between your house and other that have sold in the last six months, then you’ve probably got your overpriced.

Check this chart as living proof
Under the traditional real estate model, when a home owner goes to sell their home, they contract with a real estate broker (or "Listing Agent") to place the home in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) (the "Stock Exchange" of real estate). Through the MLS, the broker who lists the home for sale typically offers to pay the "buyer’s agent" 3% for procuring a buyer for the property.
Yes, it’s true. If you are a home buyer, you can save money buying through IHS Realty’s flat fee service.
Many home buyers think they get off scot-free when it comes to paying real estate commissions to agents and brokers. But where do you think the money comes from to pay the agent? It comes from the sale of the house - your pocket.
