List for Less on MLS®
Why do homeowners pay real estate agents 5% or 6% to list their homes on MLS® ? Because the system works! To sell homes the Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) is the most powerful marketing tool ever used.
Most homes in Canada sell through the MLS® system. The power of MLS® is based on co-operation and compensation. Most homes are not sold by the listing firms. In fact, most sales involve two different offices, a listing office and a selling office.
This means that it is not so important which firm you choose to list your home with, as long as it is listed in the MLS® system.
Can you pay less and still get MLS®? Yes you can!
Here's how it works:
When you list with a traditional agent, they place your home on MLS® system. The listing brokerage offers to share the commission - usually half what you're paying - with all of the other Realtors® participating in MLS ®system. This compensation is their incentive to sell your home.
We offer you the option of placing your home in the same MLS® system at a much lower total commission. Just like traditional brokerages, we share the commission with the co-operating MLS Realtors®, so they have the same incentive to sell your home as all the other homes on the MLS®. In most cases, the cooperating agents earn the same selling commission ( 2% - 3.0%) they are accustomed to receiving and we absorb the "discounted" portion of the total commission.
So there you have it. To find out how you can get this service from as low as 3.5% call or e-mail for details.
