When sellers, many time For Sale By Owners, wish to sell their home by themselves but want to be listed in the RMLS (Regional Multiple Listing Service) for a fee, they will use a flat fee agent.
There are many agents who do this for different fees.
My flat fee is $495 and the following are included,
- Realtors Lockbox
- Our company sign or you can use yours
- Your home will be listed on Realtor.com, all local sites and more
- I provide a completed flyer template that you can print as needed.
- I can take photos, resize them and enhance them as needed. Up to 16 photos fit in RMLS
- Measure rooms
- All of the forms you will need
- Make unlimited changes to price and descriptions
- One year listing
The flat fee allows you to get your home on the RMLS for an upfront fee. This has normally been an option for people who had real estate or contract knowledge. Since I have added my hourly service, this is for anyone who wants to save some money and pay as they go.
Historically real estate commissions have been based on the principle of deferred payment. The idea was the agent took all of the risk for which he was rewarded well. With the flat fee and hourly options, sellers take the risk but the agent gets less. High risk, high reward.
