Are you looking to sell your home on your own, but want the benefits of having your home in MLS?
Flat Fee/Entry Only MLS listings allow for sale by owners (FSBO) to list their own home in the MLS system without paying a traditional real estate brokerage full commission.
HERE’S THE DEAL:
Instead of paying a listing agent a percentage of the sale price, a FSBO pays a one-time flat fee to list their property in the local MLS system (the same one licensed agents and brokers use), and from there, the listing will automatically be displayed on numerous 3rd party real estate websites such as REALTOR.com, ZILLOW, TRULIA, HOMES, YAHOO, and many other sites
At Bluefin Properties, we believe that selling your home as a FSBO and listing a property on MLS (Multiple Listing Service) as an entry only for a flat fee is a great way to sell real estate for many sellers. Traditionally, a seller’s agent will list a property on MLS for a commission of 5%. Upon the closing of a sale, the seller’s agent will split the commission with the buyer’s agent, so each receives around 2.5% of the total sale. This 5% commission comes directly out of your profit on the sale of your property.
I CAN’T EMPHASIZE THIS ENOUGH:
At Bluefin Properties, we can help you eliminate the seller-agent’s commission by listing your Massachusetts Property as an Entry Only in the same MLS that real estate agents use to place their listings—saving you thousands of dollars.
By listing your property as an Entry Only over 30,000 agents and unlimited buyers will be exposed to your property just like MLS listings through traditional real estate firms.
90% of homes for sale are listed on MLS, making it the number one resource for realtors. You set a commission to offer buyer’s agents typically 2-2.5%, so they are just as willing to show your property as any other full service listing in MLS.
BOTTOM LINE?
With the increasing popularity of the Internet as the first place buyers turn to for property, as opposed to their real estate agent, the chances of a buyer coming to the table without a real estate agent are increasing in today’s market.
