Detailed Description of What is included with our Flat Fee MLS Program
We will list your property on the local multiple listing services (MLS) for a one time flat fee of $450.00. Locally that MLS is called Midwest Real Estate Data Exchange (MRED - Formally MLSNI). MRED / MLSNI is one of the largest MLS systems in the country. It covers from Lake Michigan to Rockford and from Indiana to Wisconsin. Your property will be available to Realtors in all of Northeastern Illinois.
We will upload up to 16 pictures on the MLS. You can email us pictures you have taken or, if you prefer, we can come to your home and take pictures for you (additional charges may apply).
We will provide you with a Comparative Market Analysis to assist you in determining your selling price.
You will supply all of the room dimensions and necessary forms. We can help you write a descriptive paragraph highlighting your home's best features. This write-up will appear on the MLS and in on your flyer.
You can provide your phone number to take all inquiry appointment calls or, if you prefer, we can field all calls and schedule showing appointments for you.
You will have unlimited free access to all commonly used and necessary forms.
Your ad will be posted to hundreds of top web sites as listed above.
We will provide a free, professionally designed yard or window sign.
You can make unlimited changes to your ad as needed including, but not limited to: pictures, price, description, details, commission, etc. all with a simple email. We work 7 days a week so you can make changes and will have access to us 7 days a week.
We will help you negotiate your deal at no additional charge to you. As mentioned above, since 2005, we have closed well over $400 million in real estate using this program. We are very comfortable with the process. Hopefully your property will be next. On our staff we have agents trained and certified in negotiation.
If you sell your property to a buyer NOT represented by a Realtor, you pay nothing else. Period! However, if another Realtor brings the buyer, you will agree to pay that Realtor a pre-determined percentage of the final sales price. It can be any percentage you want; however, we recommend somewhere between 2 - 3%.
You can pay several ways....1) Pay with a credit card (We accept Visa, Master Card, American Express, and Discover) or 2) Mail us a check (cash is always welcome as well). *Note* The Flat Fee Special fee is due upon acceptance of the ad on the MLS (we will provide you with a copy of the ad) and NOT at the closing. An invoice can be mailed but it will be due upon receipt.
In order to maintain the lowest possible costs to our clients and so we can continue to offer this fantastic low cost program, we treat this program more like advertising and no refunds will be issued once the property is listed on the MLS. Also, while we move a lot of real estate we can not guarantee the sale of the property. However, you are with us until you sell or get tired of the process. There is no charge to cancel your listing and also no charge to extend your listing. Each can be done with a simple email.
