Over the years we have streamlined the process to make listing your property simple. Once listed we will market your home online to achieve the results you need to be successful. The process starts by filling out our state-specific listing agreement package. The agreement package contains the following: state mandated agency disclosure and our agreement with you, the seller. You will also fill out the property information form provided by MLS. This form is multiple choice and provides us with the information about your property in order to list it on your local MLS with accuracy.
After executing the listing agreement package and property information form you will send us your photos. When taking photos of your property we recommend that you use landscape mode. You can submit up to 30 photos but we recommend that you focus on quality, not quantity. When selecting property photos to display on your MLS listing just show enough photos to pique consumer interest. Showing too many photos can give consumers a reason not to visit your property.
Once we receive all the information needed, we will create your MLS listing and activate it. After we activate the listing, we will send you a welcome email containing all the information (customer service support, transaction forms, open house registrations, etc.) you will need for the duration of your listing. We do our best to make sure you look like you have done this before. We explain how to work with buyers and agents alike.
Buyer Agents will see your contact information under the ‘Special Showing Instructions’ field. If a prospective buyer calls us, we provide your information. If they leave us a voicemail, we will email you a copy of the message in .mp3 format so you can listen and respond. If the prospective buyer emails about your property, we will forward you the email without delay. Unlike many services, we have high ethical standards and never poach leads that belong to our sellers.

We treat all our customers like they are the only customer we have. We do our best to put you in the best possible position to succeed.
When we receive your listing information, we take the information that you provide and make it better and more marketable. Once we put your home on MLS, your home will be introduced to all buyer agents who have serious buyers. Once activated, your property will also be displayed on all real estate partner sites like Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia, etc… The partner list is extensive.
Our streamlined process makes it easy for interested parties to contact you. While it’s against the rules and regulations to put seller contact information on public listings, we put your contact information under special showing instructions so buyer agents can contact you directly to schedule a showing. If a prospective buyer calls us direct, we will provide your information so they can give you a ring. If they send us an email, we will forward you the email. If they leave us a voicemail, we will send you a copy of the voice message in .mp3 format so you can listen. Our internal lead generation tools have been refined to not only maximize exposure but to ensure you get the leads with speed.

The simple answer is, at the very least, is half of what you would normally pay if you were to list your property full service. This service removes the listing side of the transaction.
When you hire a traditional listing broker to sell your home you will most likely be charged approximately 5% or even 6% of the selling price of your home. The listing broker usually splits this percentage with the Buyer’s Agent for introducing the buyer to the property and procuring the deal.
Our one-time flat fee automatically cancels out the traditional listing agents’ side of the fee. We take no commission. The only agent you would be compensating would be the Buyer’s Agent. You will decide how much you want to pay the agent that brings you a buyer who purchases your home. It can be any amount you wish to offer. Although, we have no requirement for the amount of compensation that you should offer. We suggest that you offer an amount that is equal to the industry standard. Buyer Agents are working night searching and showing homes. Every day another home is added to the list. In order to get the Buyer Agent to introduce you to one of their Buyers, you will need to entice them. The best way to motivate a real estate agent is to wave commission percentages in their face. We will tell you what the average commission rate is in your neighborhood so you know what you should be offering.
If your Buyer is not represented by a real estate agent you do not have to pay a commission. We never take a commission, just a one-time flat fee for the services we provide. By working with us for a flat fee you will save thousands of dollars. The math is simple.
