One reader wanted to know if there is a sacrifice of services when selling through flat fee MLS

Question: What services do I sacrifice by using flat fee MLS instead of a full service agent? Can I still get similar features on public websites, video tours, etc. that an agent would give? 

Answer: As an IHS customer you have access to all the same tools any other agent would use to entice other agents and home buyers. You can offer home warranties, display multiple photos in the MLS, include a Virtual Tour, provide a lockbox, enhance your listing to a Realtor.com Showcase, conduct open houses, and purchase a market analysis among other options. One additional tool that most agents cannot provide is the ability to list the home in more than one Multiple Listing Service. So, if your market slows down be sure you are taking advantage of all the tools available to incentivize a quick home sale.
