Public Web Sites Disclaimer – We list your property on your local MLS system. Each MLS system has different and many common public web sites, to which they download. This is beyond our control and is a function of the MLS in your area. For the reason mentioned, we cannot guarantee your property will be listing on public websites and cannot guarantee content or number of photos on these sites (these site are in business to sell leads to agents) the only control we have over content is through the MLS, however, we do guarantee your home will be listed on the MLS. These sites are in a constant state of change. On our site, we publish many sites that your property will show up on and there are many sites that your property will show up on, that we do not mention. There is not “one big MLS system” but rather a bunch of MLS systems specific to each region, but once your home is on your MLS, it will download to many public websites. Please let us know if you have any questions about this.  The number of photos allowed is a function of the local MLS (15-32 photos depending on the MLS). 

Leads from websites like Zillow and Realtor.comThese sites are owned by companies that are in business to sell leads to agents. Most of the time we do not get any leads from these sites but if we do, we give them your contact information. This will have no bearing on the sale of your property as it works this way with all agents. An interested buyer will come look at your property.

Sign post not included with sign. Sign is 18"x24" - Sign frame can be purchased and Home Depot, Lowes and many hardware stores. Many times owners have already purchased a "for sale by owner sign" and our sign can be used with these frames, in most cases.

Coverage Areas.  At this time we are only able to list in the New Orleans and Baton Rouge MLS systems, this covers most of Southeast Louisiana.  We will be happy to try to help find a local agent that offers flat fee services in other boards across the state.
