SAVE on commissions with flat fee mls/FSBO services

 SAVE on Real Estate Commissions with FSBO MLS Services

If you are thinking of selling a property in Washington state and are like most sellers and want to save money on the commissions that agents charge, then you should know about your option.

Traditional real estate agents charge 6% to list properties.  They then enter the listing into the multiple listing service that covers the county/area the property is located.  They place in the listing a commission offered to the Buyer's Agent (Buyer Broker) who sells the property. That amount is usually 1/2 of the total commission charged by the listing agent, so in this scenario the Buyer's Agent would receive 3% and the listing agent keeps 3% for their effort of entering the listing and representing the seller in the sale.  That means on a home sale of $400,000, the seller would pay $24,000 just in commissions.  That is a huge amount of the Seller's equity!

Your option is to go For Sale By Owner and handle the listing on your own including showing appointments, open houses, and negotiations.  If you want to save money in commissions, then you can still list your FSBO property in the SAME MLS that all the realtors use, but NOT pay a listing commission.  You can list with List4FlatFee.com for only $285 listing fee and pay NO LISTING COMMISSION with no hidden fees.  

List4FlatFee.com is a licensed real estate broker and member of the NWMLS and RMLS, covering most of Washington State.  When you sign up to list with List4FlatFee.com, you will get a listing in the local MLS for up to 6 months with up to 40 photos. You ONLY offer a commission to the Buyer's agent, and that amount is completely up to you! You would be the point of contact for agents to schedule showings (or rent our electronic MLS lock boxes for ease of showing through Showing Time), and agents are instructed to submit offers to your email.  You will be provided with all disclosures and addenda you need for your sale.

If you still don't feel comfortable handling all the negotiations and the sale process, you can sign up to receive broker representation for $1200, which is still a huge savings! More information available here.
