Sellers doing Flat Fee MLS Listings are still required to sign a listing agreement offering a commission to a buyer's agent. This "Cooperative fee" is usually half or about 3%. If you try to offer less than the standard cooperative fee the seller runs the risk of buyer's agents avoiding them. All sellers listed in the MLS have to sign a listing agreement.
With Flat Fee MLS Listings a home seller has choices as far as the "Level of Service". This means the seller is not obligated to have the listing agent (Flat Fee MLS Listing Broker) provide all of the services a "Traditional" agent does. This saves the home seller a considerate amount of money.
We do offer "Full Service" for the sellers who desire that level of service. Full Service means offers are emailed to not only the seller but us too as the listing agent. We help the seller negotiate to get top dollar, help with inspection, pre-approval, title insurance and appraisal. So, utilizing full service with a Flat Fee MLS Listing gives the home seller the same great service a traditional agent does for a fraction of the cost!
The main differences flat fee MLS listing and traditional services, flat fee allows the seller to sell as a for sale by owner FSBO and not pay a commission. With traditional commissioned real estate agents, if you sell your own property, you will own the agent a high commission. Flat fee listing allows the customer to sell as a FSBO and with an agent, having the best of both worlds.
To summarize, a Flat Fee MLS Listing gives a home seller the same, great exposure as if listed by any local, top producing agent. The seller has For Sale By Owner privileges with all of the benefits of being listed in the local MLS.
When searching for a reliable real estate partner, it's essential to avoid "Referral Companies" that often generate a litany of complaints, issues, and poor service. As Michigan's #1 Flat Fee MLS Direct & Local Listing service, we are THE member of the local MLS that input and oversee your listing. These other "Flat Fee Referral Companies" are not licensed real estate companies. It's a war fighting these referral companies with their deep pockets and huge programming budgets attempting to sway you, the consumer / home seller to list with them.
As a licensed Realtor, we must first understand that you cannot do a Flat Fee MLS Listing without a Realtor. That Realtor or licesned real estate company must me a member of the local MLS board to actually input your listing into the MLS. All of the companies listed here ARE NOT Realtors but also represent that they can provide advise or assistance to sellers. NOTE: You must be a licensed real estate agent to provide assistance or help with home sellers in our state.
Many of these companies represent they can help you... They cannot. They tend to have great programming and not only take your buyer leads but attempt to run your listing, leads, showings, offers and anything else through your site. Attempting to run things through their site is the worst way to do things. Realtors tend to avoid doing things the difficult way, going through these "Referral sites"...
