The Best Way To Sell A Homes Is With A Discount MLS Listings
Discount MLS listings are an effective way to sell a home on the MLS and save about half of the selling costs as compared with a full-service 6% MLS listing.
Flat fee MLS listing, also known as discount MLS, is a thriving way to sell real estate. This creative selling technique allows By Owners to list their own property on the MLS without a traditional listing agent. Just choose a listing plan suits you best and click "list my property". Our intuitive online listing process is efficient and saves you from the old days of 6% real estate.
In essence, the "FSBO" seller becomes the listing agent and takes that part of the commission as the savings which is typically 3%. The by owner MLS seller pays just the buyer's agent a commission. While many discount MLS listings offer a 3% commission, the by owner seller decides how much commission to offer the buyer's agent, not the MLS broker. Some sellers offer 2%.
One of the most popular questions asked by sellers considering to list in the MLS discount is "what do REALTORS® want as a commission?" The answer is they prefer 3%, but will work a 2% listing as well. An even lower (say 1.5%) commission can be effective at times especially if the home is truly unique. In this case, the buyer may lead the REALTOR® to that home and request a showing. Receiving a 1.5% commission to write a sale contract for a buyer (possibly a previous client of the buyer's agent) is good money to most agents.
Another benefit of listing in the MLS discount is that the seller maintains the right to sell "by owner" and pay no commission.
There are many reasons to consider selling your home using a discount MLS broker. Most sellers agree that the commission savings, the control that the seller has over the selling process and the Internet marketing that discounted MLS listings provides exceeds that of a full-service agent.
