Flat Fee MLS Process:
Before we can explain in simple words how this amazing package works, let’s first clarify what the MLS is and how it works.
MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service, a service used by a group of real estate brokers. They band together to create an MLS© that allows each of them to see one another’s listings of properties for sale.
One of the benefits of the MLS© is that you’ll receive calls from agents from time to time even if you are FSBO (For Sale By Owner) or FRBO (For Rent By Owner).
beycomers can use either of our Flat Fee MLS listing options, to list their homes in the local MLS© in Florida as FSBO through us and avoid paying the typical 6 percent real estate commission.
Additionally, your house obtains full exposure on hundreds of other syndicated real estate websites, such as Realtor.com©, Zillow©, Trulia©, etc. Keep in mind that the MLS© service is a database that allows realtors© to share information about properties with other brokers who represent potential buyers or who wish to cooperate with a seller’s broker in finding a buyer for the property. Customers who advertise on beycome.com get to sell their home on their own terms and the benefit of getting maximum exposure is unequaled by any other means.
Customers who advertise on beycome.com get to sell or rent their home on their own terms and the benefit of getting maximum exposure is unequaled by any other means.
The purpose of the Multiple Listings Service is to enable the most effective distribution of information so that when a real estate broker or agent is introduced to a potential home buyer/renter, he or she may search the MLS© system and retrieve information about all the homes for sale and rent in a specified area and price range. When you advertise on beycome.com, more agents and realtors© will bring potential buyers to homes, resulting in a quicker sale/lease, and no commission paid to the listing agent or seller agent … WIN – WIN.
So now that we are a bit more clear on what this is, let me tell you a bit more about how the process works after you purchase the package:
You receive an automatic survey in your e-mail that has the questions that the MLS requires to authorize a property to be listed on their platform.
Once you filled it out and send it back to us, we start the process of listing you in the MLS which takes 24 to 48 hours.
Flat Fee MLS Process: You’re listed, now what? How do I get exposure? When is my listing going to be in Zillow©, Trulia©, etc?
Hold your horses now! Once we list the property on the MLS© database, the syndicated websites that we just mentioned had to do the process as well, now you have to remember that at this point beycome already did its part. Even though sometimes we are able to talk to Zillow© and company, to speed up the process, it’s up to them to list it in a timely matter.
I know what you are thinking, “then why do I even bother?”, you have to understand that like with many things this, is also a process… Your property will be listed and gain the maximum exposure, which will help you sell it faster, relax, focus on the outcome.
Now that we are everywhere, how am I getting the calls? Great question, but the answer is better, we are representing you as your listing agency, so even if your phone number is there is the big possibility that the buyers/renters agent will contact us first, so what we do is direct them straight to you, in order for you to negotiate your pricing… see us as your personal assistant who is constantly working for you, gathering the information and sending it to you…
You don’t have to thank us, we enjoy what we do.
So there you have it beycomers! that is how it works, simple, easy and time-saving… you got us, and we got your back… always.
