FLAT FEE vs FLAT FEE MLS Listing. Do you qualify to save?

Before I get in qualifications I'd like people to understand what a FLAT FEE MLS listing is. In the market today there are many For Sale By Owner websites that provide you a "FLAT FEE" listing... which is a lot different from a "FLAT FEE MLS" listing.

FLAT FEE Listing: is basically a "For Sale by Owner Listing". You get a For Sale "sign", "contract you can use", depending on how much you paid some contractual legal advice, a listing on their website. What it fails to do is create Market Exposure for your home.

FLAT FEE MLS Listing: you pay a flat fee to get listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS.CA / REALTOR.CA) and you agree to pay Buyer Agents a commission (usually 2.5%). By getting a FLAT FEE MLS listing you are in effect hiring a fleet of agents to help you sell your house and you get the greatest Market Exposure.

When you choose my Flat FEE MLS listing package, you are not left alone in the transactional process. You get my expertise to help you with the contractual details, plus I market your home on the Internet, (social media, blogs, e-mail blast, newsletter) and you get a credible REMAX "For Sale" sign on your lawn.

WHAT ARE THE QUALIFICATIONS for a FLAT FEE MLS Listing?

FLAT FEE MLS listings aren't for everyone. Many times you will need a full service MLS listing package and pay the 4%, 5%, 6% commission. Here is the basic criteria for my FLAT FEE MLS Listing.

1. You have to be a sophisticated seller.
Sophisticated sellers will show an appreciation for current market conditions, be willing to price their home to sell and do the necessary work to have their home show well.

2. You have to have a home in a great location that shows well.
Homes in prime location and in great condition are ideal candidates for a FLAT FEE MLS listings. If you are in the GTA, then call me and get a no-obligation free assessment. You are throwing away your money if you pay full 5-6% commission.

3. Location, Location, Location
I know I've already said location... but it is worth repeating. Houses and Condos in prime location and in 'decent' condition will sell. So don't throw your money away by paying full 5-6% commission and use my Flat FEE MLS listing services instead.

FSBO- FOR SALE BY CONDO OWNERS - How to make it work.

Markham Boxgrove Homes, Morningside Heights Homes, Scarborough Town Centre Condos Real Estate: http://www.JasJagpal.com

With the advent of the Internet and with more and more Buyers searching for houses online, many home and condo owners are trying to sell their property on their own. For Sale By Owner.

My sister chose this method in Windsor and I realized, more would likely do the same if they had the time and support of a Realtor. Especially when it came down to negotiating terms and price and completing the contractual details.

With the Internet you'd think it would be a lot easier to sell: For Sale By Owner but the reality is different.

Here are the top 3 reasons people fail trying the For Sale By Owner method.

1. For Sale By Owner web sites can never get you the same market exposure than the local MLS.

2. Most Buyers are uncomfortable negotiating with a home owner directly, even when they like your home. Having to complete a contract on their own is even more stressful.

3. Agents with Buyers looking for homes like yours will stay away because they won't get paid a commission

Some sites offer a FLAT FEE MLS solution which covers the Market Exposure part and pays a Buyer agent for bringing a client, but it leaves the home owner vulnerable to negotiate the price and contractual details.

I offer A Hybrid FLAT FEE MLS Solution... this covers the Market Exposure part, pays Buyer agents, helps you with any private Buyer and takes care of the contractual details. You won't ever feel you are alone.

So if you are looking succeed while attempting to sell FOR SALE BY OWNER. Check out our Hybrid FLAT FEE and LOW cost Full MLS service packages.

Since everyone has different needs and wants there are 4 packages that will benefit and fulfill the needs of most Sellers.
