How it Works

It used to be when you made the decision to sell your home, you essentially had two methods available to you.
You could list your home with a traditional real estate company and pay a 6% commission or you could try
selling it on your own "for sale by owner."

Research shows that nearly 50% of all home sellers start out trying to sell their property on their own. Although some home owners are successful with FSBO, according to the latest National Association of Realtors (NAR)
home seller survey, only sixteen percent of sellers actually sell their home without exposure on the MLS. And
many of them end up giving away their commission savings to the buyer to close the deal.

Why is this so? It’s because there is a contradiction involved. FSBO shoppers are, by nature, bargain hunters.
They want your home to be bargain priced and they want to deduct what you would have normally paid a real estate broker in commissions, from the bargain sales price.

On the other hand, the FSBO seller is trying to keep what they would have paid a real estate company in commissions. These conflicting expectations make it difficult for the parties to agree on a price. 

Add to that, Realtors will avoid "For Sale By Owner" properties because they are working with buyers and have
no written agreement to be compensated. If the seller has not agreed in writing to pay a commission to a
buyer's agent, the buyer could cut the agent right out of the deal and negotiate directly with the seller.

With MLS Advantage, a licensed agent will come to your home and show you exactly what a
buyer's agent will see on the MLS. You control the amount of comission you wish to pay an agent that brings
you a ready and willing buyer. The industry standard is usually between 2.5 to 3%. You also control any contact information. An agent will not call us to show your property. They will call the number(s) you provide. This
allows you to show your property on your terms.

Being listed on MLS puts a massive sales force to work for you!
