FLAT-FEE MLS SERVICE FAQS
Properties for Sale or Rent include: Single-family homes, condos, town-homes, villas, mobile homes on private land; income properties such as duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes; vacant land, lots, farms.
Your property may be listed for up to 12 months (you decide how long) and you may cancel the listing at any time prior to the expiration. When you have accepted an offer and have signed a Sale & Purchase Agreement, the listing will remain in the MLS but the status will change to Pending. There are other MLS statuses available as well.
Your name and contact information will be available to buyers agents via the secure section of the MLS. Agents will contact you for information, showing appointments and with any offers to present.
Change requests are easily handled via email. There is no charge for simple changes (i.e. price, status change, etc.). If you get crazy with change requests we will send you a bill.
Yes, you can definitely use your own sign. Many of our clients do. When potential buyers contact you, a simple and polite way to start the conversation is by asking, ‘Are you currently working with a real estate agent?’ This helps determine if they’re already represented. If they are, you’ll want to direct them to have their agent contact you. If they aren’t, you can then answer their questions about the property.
You are not obligated to offer a commission to buyer’s agents, but it’s something to consider. While many homes do sell directly to buyers without agent representation, the vast majority of sales involve a buyer’s agent. Offering a competitive commission can significantly expand your pool of potential buyers, as it incentivizes agents to show your listing to their clients. Ultimately, the decision of whether or not to offer a commission is entirely yours.
You do. Any leads or buyer inquiries generated by your listing will be forwarded to you.
