How Most Homes Sell ?

Did you know that statistically most buyers find their home in MLS?  We offer sellers who do not need or do not want to pay 3% to a real estate agent the ability to list their home in MLS for a flat fee of $299.

With the flat fee listing, you get the benefits of MLS exposure but you don't have to pay the high sales commission on your transaction.  You can save thousands.  On a $250,000 sale price you would save over $7,200 in sales commissions!

With our flat fee listing packages, you can get:

1.      EXPOSURE TO 100’S OF LOCAL AGENT & COMPANY INTERNET SIGHTS

2.      EXPOSURE TO THE LARGEST WEBSITES IN THE U.S. FOR REAL ESTATE

3.      NO COMMISSION IF YOU FIND THE BUYER

4.      SECURE AGENT LOCKBOXES FOR EASY ACCESS

5.      LISTING AGENT CONSULTATION AVAILABILITY IF YOU DESIRE FOR A FEE

6.      YOUR PHONE NUMBER ON THE INFO-SIGN OPTION

Flat Fee Listing Options

	You engage the Real Estate Advocates as your listing Agent.  We provide a free market analysis for your home.
	Real Estate Advocates lists your property in the local MLS, on our own For Sale By Owner Site and on National sites such as Realtor.com, Zillow and Trulia.  This also includes listings on local Broker sites such as Remax, Century 21 and others.  (Statistically 75% of homes sell through MLS and national site listings).
	By owners can utilize free disclosure forms and contract forms downloaded from our site.  A sales price is negotiated of $150,000.  Normal commission paid by the seller is 6%.  So the total commission paid to the buying and selling agent is $9,000.  (6% of $150,000)
	In a transaction where you are using Real Estate Advocates flat fee listing you would only pay the listing fee and not the entire commission.  So you are grossing an additional $8,000+ in value.
	The real estate commission saving is yours.  You could keep it or use it as a selling tool to assist in selling your home by offering closing costs, reducing the price or adding a sales incentive to a local agent to sell it.  The savings is yours and it is your choice how to use it!  You can use this savings to help you sell your home quicker.

SOME DO’S AND DONT'S IN SELLING

1.      PRICE YOUR HOME RIGHT- 68 % OF SELLERS THINK THEIR HOUSES ARE WORTH MORE THEN CURRENT VALUE

2.      USE AN AGENT LOCKBOX AND NOT A COMBINATION LOCKBOX FOR SAFETY AND ACCOUNTABILTY

3.      DON’T USE BY OWNER REFERRAL COMPANIES TO REFER YOU FOR FLAT FEE- THEY CHARGE MORE, SELL YOU SIGNS YOU CAN’T USE, AND LOCKBOXES THAT CAN PUT YOUR HOUSE AT RISK., AND DO NOT KNOW LOCAL LAWS AND PRACTICES IN YOUR STATE.

4.      AS A SELLER IN MOST STATES YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO HAVE AN ATTORNEY FOR CLOSING.

5.      IF YOUR HOUSE IS VACANT CHECK INTO VACANT HOME INSURANCE. KEEP UTILITIES ON, BUT TURN OFF THE WATER.

6.      IF YOU LIST YOUR HOUSE PAY THE BUYERS AGENT A COMPETITIVE COMMISSION THAT IS COMPATIBLE WITH THE MARKET AND PRICE.

7.      UNDERSTAND IT IS A BUYER’S MARKET IN MOST AREAS NOW AND PEOPLE WANT DEALS. KNOW YOUR COMPETITION.

8.      PUTTING A FOR SALE BY OWNER SIGN IN THE YARD IF YOU ARE LISTED IN THE MLS SCARES AGENTS AWAY FOR FEAR THEY WON’T GET A COMMISSION OR YOU WILL STEAL THEIR BUYER.
