Advantages Of Flat Fee MLS

Flat fee MLS is one of the best ways if you are planning for a sale of your property. Believe me, for I did it and had got a positive result while selling my house. If you want a price that is worth your home or you are in search of home owner rebates, then the flat fee MLS is surely going to help you in a big way.

Some of the advantages of flat fee MLS are as follows:

1) It is comparatively cheaper to the traditional real estate listing.
2) You can share wide information about the property you are intending to sell
3) The viewer will be able to see the property live as it allows posting of photographs
4) The people from the real estate will also be aware that your home is under the ‘for sale by owner’ category. This makes the sale faster
5) You will have the option to post open houses too through flat fee MLS
6) On sale of your property, you are not required to make payments to the agent of the buyer.
7) There is also no question of payment to the agent of the seller

Flat Fee MLS Takes the Guesswork Out of Home Exposure

When people like you decide to sell their home, they find that they have a few different options. They can sell on their own and worry that people won’t find out that their home is on the market. They can sell with a real estate agent and know that people will be aware that their home is available but have to pay a 3% commission to the agent who listed their home. Or they can sell with flat fee MLS.

With flat fee MLS, there’s no guesswork about whether or not people will know that you’re home is on the market. Just like with selling with an agent, your home will appear in the multiple listing service database - you just won’t have to pay a commission for listing it there.

With flat fee MLS, you’re selling on your own, but people know that your home is on the market.

In other words, with flat fee MLS, you don’t have to wonder whether or not buyers’ agents will know that you home is available for their clients. With flat fee MLS, you won’t have to worry that buyers who are searching for a home online won’t know that your home is on the market. And, if you take advantage of marketing tools that are available, you’ll know that you’ve got flyers, lawn signs and even newspaper ads to market your home in your town.

Flat fee MLS takes the guesswork out of home exposure.

Minimum Service Laws Muddy the Waters

New laws make the home listing process more confusing

Minimum service laws have now been passed in over a dozen states across the nation in efforts to slow the evolution of flat fee MLS companies and limited service providers. Even though these minimum service requirements vary from state to state, the result is the same, leaving consumers confused and curious. Laws are requiring listing brokers to disclose which services will and will not be provided, consumers to waive services unwanted, or mandating agents perform specific services. The shameful reality is "we all know the real issue is protecting…the full service agencies from these so called ‘limited service’ providers," as stated by Brian Jones of Century 21. These laws are detrimental to the end user, and not protective of consumers in the least bit - the waters are only muddied with increased paperwork and industry jargon. These dubious laws have gotten the attention of the Department of Justice who is working to determine what effect this will have on the competitive nature of the industry and overall consumer choice. The bottom line is consumers need to be heard!
