sold-sign-2.jpgI’m seeing an overabundance of inventory on the open real estate market and I continue to ask myself, “what are these sellers doing to give themselves a competitive advantage and make sure they are the ones getting showings and offers on their home?” I see more and more realtors just relying on the MLS to sell the home and they are providing no ancillary marketing to bring activity to the listing.. I think there’s a few questions a seller should ask themselves before hiring a real estate agent to sell their home.. 1) What exactly justifies me paying a realtor 6% to sell my home? 2) What type of marketing do I expect for my home, if I am paying them 6% to sell it? 3)Is there a way I can save a little of my equity here and sell my home at the same speed a real estate agent would that I was paying 6-7%?
I’ve listed over 200 homes over the past year and these are the questions I’ve been asked time and time again.. These concerns are why I created this niche in my organization & it is the new wave of selling homes. The MLS is an unbelievable tool because it puts your home in front of thousands of realtors who are working for buyers and want to sell your home so they can make a commission. So, getting your home listed on the MLS should be a priority.. However, this can done without paying a 6-7% listing commission.. A Shirley International Realty Inc. agent will come out to your home, take professional photographs and dress your listing up on the MLS with maximum marketing details and your contact info. to give you that exposure to these buyers agents.. If one of your questions is, what if I get a contract and don’t have representation to help me negotiate the offer? We also provide this as an ancillary service while still saving you money @ closing. We offer flat fee prices for a number of different packages that are explained in the FAQ section of this website.. The bottom line is, paying a listing realtor 6-7% to post your home on MLS and wait for another agent to bring a buyer, is an avenue of the past.. Take the future road of selling your home, with minimum out-of-pocket expenses, and list through the Flat Fee Listing service.. See you at the closing table!
