By marketing and selling your real estate property yourself, you're in control of every aspect of sales and advertising. Plus, you can still use the same advertising tools real estate brokers and agents use—like professional photography, open houses, a lock box and more.
Flat Fee MLS keeps things simple and leaves more money in your pocket. Here's how it works:
- You, the seller, hire Avex to enter your property information into the local MLS database. But instead of paying a commission based on the sale price, you simply pay a fixed amount for the MLS listing and half-commission to the buyer’s agent.
- You market your home just like a full service Realtor would, using our helpful home selling resources for guidance and advertising services to get the word out about your great property.
- When offers come in, you're in complete control. You can review them, negotiate and close the deal with the help of your real estate attorney and the title company.
MLS listings are fed to popular real estate websites like Realtor.com, Move.com, Trulia, and Zillow—so an MLS entry is crucial for connecting with qualified and motivated buyers. That's what makes Flat Fee MLS a much better choice than the "For Sale by Owner" method which does not have an MLS entry.
