Why have your home listed on MLS?
It is estimated that over 95% of homes are sold through the local realtor association Multiple Listing Service. The MLS puts your listing out to thousands of potential home buyers and buyer's agents. Placing your home for sale on the local MLS is the most effective way to market your home. Your property that is listed with a Multiple Listing Service will automatically be placed on national websites that are searched by future home buyers, such as realtor.com. At Shirley Hobbs Realty LLC we are a member of MetroTex Association of Realtor MLS board.
Typically broker's charge 6% of the sales price in real estate fees to sell a home. For example on a 100K house the normal realtor fees would be $6000. 3% to selling side and 3% to the buying side.
The discounted plans are a big savings to the seller, but it is customary to offer 3% to the buyer's agent in a listing to attract professional buyer's agents with qualified buyers.
As the owner of Shirley Hobbs Realty LLC, I pride myself on giving you full service that any major broker can offer you and more. My services offer a personal touch and keep you informed during the process of your sale. I have a proven track record of residential home sales, and offer discounted listing services for today's market to assist home owners in selling their properties while giving the seller very professional services they deserve.
