Selling your home in this booming real estate market? Then you have to keep certain things in mind before doing it. One of them is that presentation is very important while you tag it under ‘homes for sale’ category. Your home must look good for then only it attracts the attention of the buyer easily. If a buyer comes to see your house after getting to know about it through flat fee MLS listing, then you must show him/her a home that is clean.
Some of the ways to dress up your home before selling it are as follows:
- Wash your house thoroughly.
- You can spray room freshener so that your home gives a good smell.
- All the rubbish should be removed from the rooms and tables.
- Repair all the electrical appliances, roofs, walls, septic, and plumbing.
- For additional beauty, you can also decorate your house with plants and flowers.
- Paint the walls if required in case it has faded.
Follow these few steps; you are sure to get the best result while selling your home. It simply doubles the chance of selling your home and that too much quickly. Try it to see it!

When you’re going to be selling a home, listing with a real estate agent is often the first thing that sellers consider. However, there can be some issues that sellers find when they are working with a real estate agent - issues that should lead you to hesitate a bit:
(source)One of the biggest problems that I have always had with Real Estate agents (outside of their high commission fees) is that they have a different mandate then the typical homeowner. A real estate agents mandate is to sell “a” home and get paid their commission. The homeowners mandate is to sell their home. How often do you think a prospective buyer calls in to set up a showing for a specific property (your property) and the agent says - “sure, we’ll set up an appointment - but while were out looking at that property let’s look at these “others” that I think you may be interested in.”
When you sell with a real estate agent, it’s hard to know whether or not he or she will be there focusing on selling your home - especially when there are other properties that they represent as well. Still, real estate agents will list your home in the multiple listing service - which gives selling with them an advantage over selling FSBO.
Of course, flat fee MLS let’s you list your home in the multiple listing service without selling with a real estate agent; flat fee MLS is the best of both worlds.
If you’re hesitating, unsure of whether or not to sell your home on your own or with a real estate agent - if you’re reluctant to pay a real estate agent’s commission - you owe it to yourself to look into flat fee MLS and all that it offers.

Do it your way is the American way
For decades, the real estate world turned in a predictable manner. The roles of buyers, sellers and real estate professionals were fairly well defined and transactions followed a predictable path of yard signs, newspaper ads, open houses and miles of paperwork.
Recently, online and empowered consumers have changed the game. Real estate professionals now face issues similar to the ones that have transformed the retail, personal finance and travel planning industries. As technology advances and new business models evolve, the real estate industry has begun to transform itself from providing traditional, carefully controlled agent-centric transactions to new consumer-centric practices.
One could, as many real estate agents do, lament the losses in the real estate industry. At IHS Realty, we celebrate them.
Our philosophy is that more choice and more control for consumers is a good thing. After all, it’s your life, you deserve to pursue happiness in your own fashion. You also deserve the right to life and liberty. That’s why we stand beside your right to own your own home, purchase the home of your dreams or sell your home yourself without the "assistance" of a realtor. You get the make the choices and do what is right for you. It’s the American way.

You need a broker to get listed, but it doesn’t have to be a full-time broker
FFMLS – This term refers to Flat Fee Multiple Listing Service. Many people that consider selling their home with an agent worry that they will not be able to list their property in the multiple listing service for the area. In the past, the “MLS” was a list controlled solely by agents and realtors. These days, there are ways to access it without using a real estate agent. You can pay a Flat Fee for your listing, thus the name.
This isn’t entirely true. You still need a broker to get your house listed on the MLS. Home owners can’t just walk up to a window and list on the multiple listing service. You’ve got to gain access. That access is a licensed broker.
However, thanks to flat fee services like IHS Realty, you can get listed on the MLS for much lower than it would cost you to use a full-service real estate broker. We will list your house for you and step out of the picture so that you can handle the rest of the show yourself. We will "stand by," of course, in case you need other services, but you need not contact us against for anything - unless you need or want something.
As a flat fee, or limited service, broker, we offer other services as well. You get to pick and choose what services you need and when you need them. Otherwise, we’re off of your back.
