Flat Fee MLS HOT Topics
Orlando residents can list their homes in the Mid Florida Regional MLS, Realtor.com, Homes.com, 100's of other real estate FSBO websites and get great service when listing through ADDvantage, Florida's most trusted flat rate MLS broker.
A flat fee listing in Orlando with ADDvantage costs $349…for that fee, your Orlando property will be listed in the Orange County MLS (called Mid-Florida Regional) and retain the right to sell “By Owner” if no buyer's agent is involved.
Why is it that flat fee MLS websites do not show you their listing agreement before you pay?
There are 3 reasons why flat fee MLS services do not publish their listing agreements.
The Florida real estate market is hot again with the new lower prices. Buyers are making offers and sellers need to be up on their countering skills and the current trends of the mortgage market.
Flat Fee MLS sellers traditionally represent themselves, so being well informed is a must. At ADDvantage, we offer a flat fee MLS program that does take care of all contract negotiations and due diligence; it's called ADDvantage Plus.
Flat Fee MLS listing service, ADDvantage®, has fielded over 900 after hour calls from buyers and Realtors® in Orlando, Orange County and other Florida cities over the past 12 months.
ADDvantage®, offering Orlando flat fee MLS service, was founded in 2005 as a consumer friendly flat rate MLS service. One principle that ADDvantage®'s creators felt strongly about was offering phone support after “standard business hours.” ADDvantage® is the only Orlando flat fee MLS service that publishes its extended hours of operation on its website.
Why would a full service RE/MAX agent send a Florida flat fee MLS broker a message like this:
“Good Morning Keith
I wanted to let you know, due to your recent sales activity in the area, that I have reduced the price on (property address)…”
You might be asking yourself why I would choose this negative title for my blog. Unfortunately the question originates from a certain reality.
Many sellers-whether listed flat fee in the MLS or with a full-service agent-have difficulty selling. My company lists homes in Orlando, Tampa, Miami, Jacksonville, Ft. Lauderdale and just about every Florida city. No matter what area a property is located, the same always holds true: some sellers sell while others sit and wait, wait, wait.
Just like anything else in life, consumers must educate themselves in order to make the right choices. We can't rely on anything but our own due diligence to help guide us in the right direction.
Have you heard this story before? ...
"I am fed up with my listing agent. She doesn't do a thing and yet if someone comes along and wants to buy the house, I have to pay her 6%."
By the time the listing agreement term is up, this seller is ready to throw in the towel and go it alone as a "For Sale By Owner."
I just got off the phone with a client from Tallahassee. The conversation prompted me to write you this short email to address the question many sellers have: “Am I priced right for this market?”
I will talk briefly about 3 major points: the market, cash pricing, and an appraisal.
