How This Works!
Note: Not all Flat Fee MLS Companies are the same?
This is a common myth usually started by the inferior companies trying to sell the idea in hopes to justify their service and discredit the
competition. Usually, they have an extremely low price to attract shoppers and
over state the obvious to make it
look like they have a lot of services. Another tactic is to omit what is
included in their package leaving shoppers to guess or assume what is included. Probably, the worst
tactic, is to sell a Flat Fee MLS package to non-suspecting
customers for an area they do not cover. Unfortunately, this is a common
method as we regularly receive e-mails asking if we can handle their customers for
them. (example)
5 Easy Steps to Listing Your Property on the Realtors® MLS.
1. Select your state on our Flat Fee MLS Coverage Map, or click the Drop Down
Box, on our home page to see the areas we cover and the details of our Flat Fee
MLS Listing package.
2. After review, click the "Buy Now" button located below the details of our
Flat Fee MLS Package. This will take you to our credit card processing company.
A receipt will be emailed to you within a couple of minutes of your purchase.
3. The Broker will then send the forms and information they will need to create
your Realtors® MLS Listing. Note: In some cases, the Broker may be out of the
office and it will take them a little longer to make contact with you.
4. Once you have returned the forms to the Broker, they will create your
Realtors® MLS Listing within an hour or less. Note: In some cases, the Broker
may be out of the office and it will take them a little longer.
5. Your home is now LIVE on the Realtors® MLS. We will email,
fax, or mail a copy of your Realtors® MLS Listing to you for review.
