Discovering the pros and cons of Florida Flat Fee MLS…
This is a listing option which utilizes the most aggressive real estate marketing tool known as the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The MLS is available to real estate professionals including licensed agents who are members of the National Association of Realtors. There is no public access to the MLS system. Along with potential buyers, you can gain access to your property through the website, Realtor.com and the many local search options available on local real estate company websites.
When listing on the MLS it is necessary to be listed in the correct MLS system that covers your geographic location. Check our MLS coverage area to find which system is for you. There is one time flat fee to get indexed on the MLS rather than the 3% usually charged by traditional real estate companies.
By saving the listing commission you are taking on the responsibilities of the listing agent. You will become the contact person for all your listing activity and will have not have a Realtor or listing agent to offer suggestions about price and contract negotiation. Real estate agents will expect you to be available for showings and to provide any requested documentation to complete a sale.
The major advantage of Florida flat fee MLS in today’s market is the flexibility and huge marketing advantage you gain over the local competing properties in your neighborhood. You also will enjoy the option of selling by-owner while also working with the local Realtor’s. Having complete control can serve a potential advantage or disadvantage if you have limited experience in the real estate sales process.
