With the value of homes sky-rocketing in recent years, home owners are experiencing higher realty costs when selling a house. Sometimes the traditional commission structure places a higher value on a Realtor than they are actually worth. For these reasons, home buyers and home owners seek realty services which offer a discount on the buying or selling of property.
Many brokerages are taking advantage of this situation by offering discount realty services. These companies offer a variety of services which come with reduced fees. However, the home owner and potential buyer are required to do some of the work involved in return.
One popular discount realty service being provided is the listing of one's house for a flat fee on MLS. Several brokerages are now offering a flat rate service fee for the ability to list one's house on the MLS. The fees charges vary depending on which brokerage and how many additional services are purchased, but most are much less expensive than paying thousands in real estate commission.
Do-it-yourself discount realty services give the home owner more control over the selling process. In this case, a real estate brokerage becomes the seller's agent to post, amend or remove a property listing in the MLS system, but the nature of any additional services to be provided by the Listing Brokerage is determined by an agreement between the brokerage and the seller. This way, if the seller so chooses, most of the work and decisions are left up to the seller. This can be a bit of a challenge for the home owner as one is balancing work, family life, and selling a home. However, for many, the benefit of reduced service fees for selling one's house is well worth the little extra time a home owner must devote.
One realty service company that offers this discount flat rate service fee is Selflist Realty. SelfList Realty is a do-it-yourself real estate company.
