Our Flat Fee MLS Listing: How It Works
So, you’re interested in selling your home, without paying the 5-6% fee that many traditional Realtors still charge? Here are the key steps in listing your home with a flat fee MLS listing thorough Ledgewood Realty:
Step 1: Pricing Your House. You decide on the price you want to ask for your property based on recent sales in your area and competing properties on the market.
Step 2: Deciding on a Commission. You decide on the commission you want to offer a buyer’s agent, should they bring you a qualified buyer. In most areas, commissions offered to real estate agents are around 1.5% to 3% - although some sellers elect to offer more or less than this. The key is to offer a competitive commission. You need buyers' agents to be incentivized to sell your house. We can advise you on what commissions are being offered by other sellers in your area. Note: with Ledgewood, you’re not forced to pay any buyer’s agent commission in the event that you find a buyer that doesn’t use an agent. In other words, you still have the opportunity to sell your home for-sale-by-owner.
Step 3: Preparing Your Listing. Next you provide Ledgewood with many details on your property such as what rooms are included, the appliances you have, what type of land is/is not included and other property features. We provide you with a questionnaire to assist you in this process.
Step 4: Your Listing Goes Live. We input the information you’ve provided to us, we e-mail a link for you to review / edit and your listing goes live.
Step 5: Showings on Your Listing Begin. Real estate agents - and in some cases, buyers themselves - will call you when they want to see your property. Agents will be instructed to call you directly when they want to see your home.
Step 6: Offers. As long as your property is priced right for its location and condition, you should have a good chance of getting offers on it. Some properties sell very quickly, while others take a longer time. However, as is the case with full-service Realtors, we can't guarantee that your property will sell. But if you list with us, one key advantage that you’ll have in generating offers is your cost basis relative to many other sellers. In other words, you’ll be getting similar marketing exposure as typical home sellers – but you’ll be paying a lot less to the listing firm involved. With a lower cost basis, you may be able to price your home competitively if necessary.
Step 7: Negotiating and Preparing for Closing. Once you get an offer, your next step will be to review it. You may need to make a counter-offer - either to the buyer’s agent or directly to the buyer. Assuming you and the buyer come to an agreement on price and other terms, you will both sign the contract. Next the buyer will begin to move the deal towards closing. These steps will normally include arranging an inspection, scheduling an appraisal and setting up a closing with a closing attorney. These tasks are normally set up by the buyers and/or their agent.
