Want to be involved in selling your home? List it yourself with Flat Fee MLS
Some homeowners look to real estate agents to sell their home for them. Others choose to sell their home for sale by owner because they can avoid the high costs of working with an agent.
But, if you are looking for an advantage over many who are selling their own homes and to still have the benefits of your home being listed on the same multiple listing service that buyer’s agents use, you owe it to yourself to look into Flat Fee MLS.
You will be the one showing your property. You will have to hire an attorney to review the contracts. You will have to keep track of the paperwork and pay attention to the details.
However, with Flat Fee MLS, you will have one less stress: getting the word out about your listing.

You can list on two MLSs simultaneously
Having your property listed in more than one MLS means that your property’s information will appear in the REALTOR Mutliple Listing Services of additional regions of the country. In addition to REALTOR.com, each MLS uploads their listing data to different local and regional real estate websites to provide added exposure for your property’s listings. Greater exposure for your property translates into greater demand. And, of course, greater demand means a higher sales price and a faster selling time.

Now it’s time to play fair
Local multiple listing services are being challenged both internally and externally. In regard to internal issues, in my opinion, we have been too slow to adopt the changes necessary in governance and mergers/acquisitions to keep pace with the external challenges. In regard to external challenges, sometimes we move too quickly, sometimes not quickly enough, to meet and address the issues.
Local MLS services responded to the challenges of the new world by bullying nontraditional brokers. They weren’t prepared for the fight that lead to with the DOJ and consumers. Now, they are forced to adapt. Meanwhile, nontraditional brokers have a head start on the new communication media that allow us to connect with consumers. Realistically, there’s enough real estate to go around. There’s no reason we can’t all play on the same field.

FSBO sellers are the big benefit recipients
The existing IDX policy permits members posting MLS listings on their own Web sites to select the listings they show on the basis of objective criteria such as location, type of property, compensation offered for buyers’ agents or the level of service provided by the listing company. It was approved by NAR’s board of directors at its meeting here Monday.
The National Association of Realtors has changed its policy to benefit low-cost brokers like IHS Realty.
The multiple listing service provides home buyers an opportunity to see what’s on the market. Brokers, real estate agents, buyers and sellers can use the MLS to conduct transactions on an equal footing. IHS Realty is proud to be able to assist FSBO sellers in listing their homes on the MLS and we’re proud to give home buyers a chance to see every home that is on the market.

Sell quickly and save
When selling on your own you should be realistic with your expectations - know your local housing market. Once you have a feel for how homes around you are selling you can develop a selling plan. Over the past year most metro areas have seen an increase in days on market, so as a for sale by owner you need to set goals and timelines. Current market conditions will determine an asking price as well, so you may decide to start at a certain price and keep it there for 15 days, if it does not sell offer a bonus - versus lowering the price - for 15 days, etc.
