Why is it very important that you deal directly with a Flat Fee MLS Listing provider rather than an middle man?

Most of our competitors are national advertising or referral companies. All they do is to advertise the Flat Fee MLS listing service and receive the orders. Once the order is received, they pass it on mostly to the big Real Estate brokers around. Every call that these big Real Estate Brokers will receive on your property will then be THEIR buyers and not yours. Most buyers do the home search themselves. When they see a property they like, they usually call the Listing Agent/Broker. Calls received by the big Real Estate Brokers are passed on to their agent in-house. These agents will show your property to the buyer and will earn a commission if the buyer ends up buying your house. These will also likely show other properties to the buyer, giving the buyer more options to choose from. The scenario above will not happen if we are your Flat Fee MLS Listing provider. All calls to us goes to a voice mail that is then converted to an audio file that we forward to you so you can call the buyer directly. Any emails we receive for your property will also be forwarded to you. We will never convert your buyer to be our buyer.

The 24 hour turnaround clock starts from the time you completed all the requirements. The 24 hour clock resets everytime we have to get back to you for missing information required by the MLS.

How does the Money Back Program work?

There may be situations when you are no longer able to handle the selling of your property due to various reasons. Don't just let your Real Estate agent friend or aquaintance handle the selling of your home. Hire a Real Estate agent who has sold several houses in your neighborhood. We know who the top agents in your area are since we have access to the MLS. We can give you a list of these agents and even pre-arrange a 5% listing fee instead of 6%. We give you back all the money you paid us once your property sells through one of the agents we provided you from our list.

Will my name and number be in the MLS?

Yes, your name and number will be the MLS as the showing contact. Agents need to coordinate everything to you which includes questions, showings, presentation of offer and everything else.
Keep note though that 3rd party sites like Realtor.com are not the MLS itself. Your name and number will not show up in 3rd party sites to due security reasons. It is an MLS restriction and not ours. No Flat Fee MLS service providers or even Full Service Listing agents can have your name and number displayed in all 3rd party sites.

Do I have to be at home when an Agent wants to show my Property?

It is advisable that you are not at home when an Agent shows your Property. Some Buyers cannot concentrate on the home when the Owner is around. You can purchase a Combination Lockbox from us or Lease the more secured Electronic Lock Box if you wish.
