Why “By Owner” Sellers Choose Our Flat Fee MLS Listing
We operate as a full-service brokerage firm as well, but we offer a flat fee MLS listing solution to sellers that have decided they want to do it themselves. Sellers have many reasons for choosing to represent themselves and we do not judge them…we help them.
Have you spoken with an agent that seemed more interested in their own bottom line than yours? Yep, it happens a lot. Of course, we would like to make money as well (it is how we feed our families), but we also like to see our customers attain their real estate goals.
Note: You Must be the Owner of the Property being sold or have Power of Attorney (POA) for the owner in order to list a property in the MLS with our company.
Flat Fee MLS Listing TIPS
We want to help you get the most out of your Flat Fee MLS Listing. In order to do that, we have put together these Flat Fee MLS Listing Tips that will make your listing more professional.
This information will also provide insight into how a real estate agent would sell your home.
Pro Tip #1
Use Professional Photos! If you want your flat fee MLS listing to stand out and make a great first impression, this is a must. High quality images are not as expensive as you might think. Less than two hundred dollars spent here will drive more traffic, which usually equals a higher sale price.
Pro Tip #2
De-Clutter, Stage, and Clean. Think about a model home. Why do you get such a good feeling walking through them? It’s because you can envision yourself living there. Don’t distract people from what they are buying. Put all of your “stuff” away and stage each room how it was intended to be used.
Make repairs to ensure potential buyers don’t get the impression that general maintenance was not important.
…and please, please, please don’t leave dishes in the sink! I know – it shouldn’t even have to be said, but you’d be surprised. Clean, Clean, Clean!
Pro Tip #3
Always Be Ready to Show! You are selling your home. Potential buyers want to see it. Don’t make it difficult! If you don’t want to show it, don’t tell people it is for sale. Try to keep your home in show ready condition (or close to it) at all times. If you can have the property ready to show in as little as 2 hours, that is perfect. The goal is to not turn away a potential buyer – sometimes they move on and find something else without trying to reschedule.
Pro Tip #4
Step Out For Showings. One of the best things you can do to help sell your home, is to avoid “selling” your home. Let your home speak for itself. Buyers (and their agents) really dislike when the owner is present for showings. It makes everyone a little uncomfortable and limits the buyer’s ability to envision themselves living there. Don’t worry – if someone is interested, and has a question, they will call to ask. If a prospective buyer does not have an agent, you will be the one showing the home, but that doesn’t mean you have to hover over them and give a big presentation. Let them walk through, feel the flow, and just be available to answer questions or point out features that they cannot otherwise see for themselves.
Pro Tip #5
Use Our Free Scheduling App to Your Advantage! Real estate agents LOVE convenience. It is a fast-paced industry and arranging multiple showings for a buyer can be exhausting. Luckily, we are able to schedule showings online (with ShowingTime). That is exactly what we do for you and your listing, so agents are not having wait for a call back. Get instant alerts on your smartphone!
Pro Tip #6
Provide Documents & Info. When a buyer is interested in your home for sale, they want to know as much as they can possibly find out. As you prepare to list your home, gather documents to assist you in the process as well as provide additional information to prospective buyers. Here are some things you should consider locating:
- Seller’s Property Disclosure (provided to you during listing set-up)
- Property Boundary Survey
- Prior Appraisal (to get an accurate square foot measurement)
- Floor Plan
- Warranty Info/Service Receipts for major systems such as roof, electrical, plumbing, A/C, and appliances.
- Termite Bond (is it transferrable?)
Pro Tip #7
Choose Your Listing Agent Wisely: The flat fee, or limited service, real estate model is growing. With that, there are many options of agents to choose from. However, this model allows for less than reputable companies to emerge. You don’t even have to be licensed IF you are outsourcing the business. Many flat fee companies are merely lead generation platforms designed to capture your information and send it off to one of their cooperating brokers to complete the transaction. We, however, are a local brokerage that handles your listing from start to finish. Real people you can reach in YOUR city. Here are a few things to look out for:
- 800 numbers are usually (not always) a good indicator that the company is going to refer your business.
- Customer service is limited to email or online chat. No direct channel to communicate.
- Very low fees. This is the bait. You will quickly find that you must pay more for the services you actually want or NEED.
- Limited tools. They do not offer Lock Boxes or Yard signs – Because they are not local!
