Flat Rate Real Estate. It works!!!




So your thinking of selling your home.....You know that the market is flooded with inventory.....you know that sales are down........and you know you will probably have to sell for a lot less than you wanted to........

Do you list with a bluechip real estate company or do you sell as a FSBO(for sale by owner) and put your faith in the fact that 80% of people search for their next home on the Internet????

The answer is both!!!!

In today's market you need to capture every potential buyer you can!!!

The new way of real estate is simple....List your home with a flat rate broker and have it available on the "MLS" for all agents to sell. Meanwhile you keep the option of selling the home yourself......

1. List with a broker that charges a flat rate for listings on the MLS

a.Flat rate MLS listings range from $299-$750

2. Pay out the expected selling commission to a cooperating broker.

a.The flat rate MLS listing broker will demand this....An MLS listing is of no value if there is no commission for a cooperating broker

3. Continue to market on your own..

a. If you find a buyer to purchase your home "you" owe nothing more than the flat rate you've already paid.

4. Count the money you $ave!!!

Traditional Example 1. A $100,000 home is listed on the MLS with a 6% commission

3% to list on the MLS

3% paid to selling Broker

Total $6,000.00

Flat Rate Example 2. A $100,000 home listed on the MLS by a flat rate broker for $650

If a real estate broker brings you a buyer you pay an additional 2.4%($2,400.00)

If "you" bring the buyer to the table, "you" owe nothing more!

Worst case scenario: You pay a total of $3,050.00 in commissions(Flat rate MLS listing $650 + 2.4%{$2,400.00})

Best case scenario: you pay nothing more than the original flat rate of
"A SAVINGS OF $2,950.00"
