By not placing your home in the MLS you are simply wasting time and losing money in this market.

For years the majority of real estate offices and companies have all cooperated and put their listings in a data base. Buyer’s agents would search these data bases called the MLS, for homes to show to their buyers. In regards to your flat fee MLS listing nothing has changed. You have now exposed your home via the MLS to thousands of buyer’s agents searching for properties for their buyers without having to pay a 6% listing fee.

Your contact number will be in the listing, and buyer agents will call you directly to set up showings. One key thing to remember, is that agents often do a last minute search prior to setting up the homes to show their buyers, in case a new home has been listed on the market. For this reason it is very important to make showings as easy as possible so you don’t miss out on a showing and they choose another home.

The important factors to remember is to always answer your phone, make showings easy, and keep our home presentable at all times. You never know when the next buyer’s agent is going to call to set up a showing and you never want to miss out on a showing.
