What is the difference between a MLS Flat Fee Listed ADDvantage vs. a “Full Service listing”?

A full service listing agreement is typically a 6 month listing. The main drawback of most full service agreements is that the Exclusive Right of Sale Listing Agreement most often used by Realtors® is a contract which lasts 6-9 months. You cannot sell your house “FSBO” during this listing period. Customarily, a 6% commission is shared between the listing agent and the selling agent (sometimes the listing agent is also the selling agent). MLS ADDvantage® saves you the “listing side” of the commission (which is typically 3%) because you become the “listing agent” for a flat fee of $249.

With MLS ADDvantage®, if you are successful finding a buyer for your property on your own without the assistance of a real estate agent, then you would pay NO commission; just the MLS ADDvantage® flat fee of $249. It's that simple.

When a Realtor® searches the MLS database, they do not care who listed the property. Their primary concern is that the customary 3% commission is being offered. All listings in the MLS state the commission being paid. We recommend offering 3% or more. (Visit Street Smart ADDvantage® High Commission Properties to learn about our commission strategy to get you better and more plentiful offers.) The purpose of using a discount MLS listing service is to avoid paying the customary 3% listing side of the commission while still getting the benefit of the MLS. The key is that you must be willing and able to show the property yourself.

MLS ADDvantage® offers a Flat Fee (MLS) service which is designed for Investors & Sellers who have the experience and time to show their properties. This means your property is placed (or listed) in the number one real estate database in America used by the best Realtors® in your area. Every time a licensed real estate agent searches for a home or vacant land in your price range for one of their clients, your property will appear in the available properties for sale. All calls from your MLS listing will come directly to you, except Realtor.com where ADDvantage's number must appear because of the rules of the Realtor.com. ADDvantage's staff is available from 8AM-8PM to answer buyer calls and promptly refer the leads to you.
