A seller can now negotiate any seller's contribution given to the buyer in order to pay for the representation of the buyer. This means that it will be part of each offer and therefore a negotiation, like it is for price and other conditions.

A seller unilaterally offered commission to the buyers agents on the MLS Listings. This was non-negotiable and it became earned once the buyer's agent found a buyer. It was never to be part of the negotiation along price and other conditions.

This is the biggest change. In order for ANY buyer to open any home on MLS, they must sign a Buyer's Agency form between them and their agent. This form requires a buyer to pay their own agent a set priced commission. Most buyers more than likely will ask this commission to be a seller's contribution during the negotiations.

The buyer's were NOT required to sign any buyer's agency form that promises commission to their own agent. The buyer's agent earned their commission upon finding a buyer for the seller.

It was a change made by the National Association of Realtors in response to a federal lawsuit. https://www.nar.realtor/the-facts/what-the-nar-settlement-means-for-home-buyers-and-sellers

The listing agent is still the licensee in charge of the accuracy and responsiveness of the listing. The listing agent still represents the seller. The MLS is still only composed of member licensees that oversee the listings. The local MLS sets the rules and fines for any misuse or mishandling of a listing. MLS is still not a FSBO service.

Each local area will be negotiating different amounts of seller's contribution given to the buyers for their own buyer's agency form. It is best to call our Broker and find out how much that could be, since it will not be known until an offer is submitted. Flat Fee MLS Listing can be very helpful in this type of market, but responsiveness is important. This is because the offers will now contain more about the commission contribution. While a seller will not have to offer anything, the seller may also not be competitive enough with other listings in your area to get an offer. Contact our Broker to discuss your options around your MLS area.

We refund ALL orders if you change your mind before signing the listing agreement. Simply let us know that you would like a refund via email and we will refund the order.

MLS or Multiple Listing Service is a database of properties in the surrounding area. This list is usually only available to participating Brokers and members of the local Board of Realtors. MLS is the main source of real estate information for Appraisers, Brokers, and other Real Estate Professionals. To maximize your listing, the property should always be listed on MLS.

It has been proven difficult to sell a home without he assistance of MLS (Multiple Listing Service). This is due to the problem that homes without MLS do not get enough exposure in order for the property to sell. MLS not only feeds into the thousands of agents in the metro area, but thousands of buyers that would see he home on websites like Zillow.com, Trulia.com, Realtor.com, and more.

Flat Fee MLS Listing companies are usually Marketing companies that promote the Flat Fee service. In turn they send the lead to a local Broker for a partial payment. This isn't good for the customer, because the local Broker is just trying to do the minimum to post the property on MLS. Our service is local and so are our marketing efforts. You will speak directly with us and our Broker. From what we know, there are only a handful of Brokers who offer Flat Fee Listing service locally like our company in the California market.

Exclusive right to sell is the type of Listing Agreement that a seller signs with a listing agent. This means that no other listing agent can be hired to handle the property for the seller. Our listing agreement is used to give us permission to place the property on MLS.

No, most listing are only available to MLS Participants. This means that only Realtors can see these listings since the local Board of Realtors provides the local MLS. Either way, our company does not allow non-agents to be given access without the permission of the seller.

In order for us to drive the costs down and offer a low commission realtor, the company does not offer any face to face consultations. This means that most of the communication with the Broker and his staff will be digitally or through the phone. This is already how most of the communication is handled in real estate anyways. Also, we do not place lockboxes. These lockboxes are easily available in Home Depot for a cost around $30.

Along with the option of a low commission realtor, you will be advised with any requests related to the sale of the home. Selling a home is a situation that typically calls for a customized approach. We will discuss pricing of the listing, showings and closing scenarios throughout the entire transaction.

There are plenty of reasons why For Sale By Owner's (FSBO) does not work very well. The main one has to do with exposure. MLS is a system that goes out to all the agents in the area, and it is considered the "market" of real estate. The best way to see it, is comparing it to the stock market. It is very difficult to sell a stock without it being "listed" in the main stock exchanges. There are stocks that do trade outside of these exchanges, but it is obvious to see why they would not have the same traffic. Any home listed on MLS (Multiple Listing Service) can not be considered a FSBO. This is because all homes must be under the name of a real estate brokerage.

Other agents and realtors do not appreciate our model. This is because it threatens their 6% traditional model. This is important to point out, because these buyer's agents do have complaints on having their questions answered about our listings. We plan to be able to answer their every question, so their collaboration on your listing goes smoothly. This is why some of the Flat Fee MLS Listings do not work.

This is usually a question based on two factors, price and Buyer's Agents care. Most listings need to be priced correctly to sell in order for the property to close. This is a typical economical principle of price vs time ratio. Buyer's Agents have multiple questions for the Listing Agent, and if they go unanswered it becomes a higher failure rate for the listing. These Buyer's Agents are not usually allowed to speak to the seller directly by their Brokerages.
