MLS and Realtor.com for pennies per day!
Our Property Sellers save thousands of dollars in commissions at their closings, by taking on some of the responsibilities normally handled by a traditional listing agent.
As a Property Seller with GO Flat Fee Realty, there are two options. Option 1. You determine the price of your home, take requests for information, and show the property to potential buyers. Option 2. While keeping you informed on each contact, Go Flat Fee Realty will answer your sales calls, set the appointments, and show the buyer your property. In this case when Go Flat Fee Realty makes the sale for you, we will have earned the buyer broker commission you offered in the MLS. At your closing, from the commission earned, we refund the full amount you have paid for your marketing/listing plan.
One of the main benefits of listing your property in the MLS, is in putting the over 1,500+ local real estate agents in Hinds, Madison, and Rankin Counties to work for you. We post your listing to the MLS along with the % amount you are willing to pay a buyer's broker.
So that you will be competitive in this market. We recommend you offer 3% to 3.5% commission to any broker who brings the ready,willing and able buyer for your property. The buyer's broker commission you decide to offer, is soley your choice.
