Listing on the MLS for a flat fee is very similar to listing with a 6% REALTOR®. You are just paying less money to get basically the same exposure. We are REALTORS® and a BROKER. Your listing looks the same as all other listings. You can sell your property to someone not represented by an agent and pay a portion of the buyer agent commission, however, if an agent brings a buyer, that agent will need to be paid the full commission. This model was built to help sellers keep more of their equity in their pockets.
We normally have you listed within 1 business day after we receive all of the signed paperwork & photos in good order.
We will ship a lockbox (depending on the package) and the sign once all paperwork and payment have been made.
Yes, we put your contact info on the MLS and ShowingTime to confirm showings.  
The contact will be made directly to me the broker as you are listed with a brokerage company.  
Since you are exclusively listed with a brokerage then the buyer's agents will email all offers to me and then will forward to you the sellers to review.
My phone number will be on the for sale sign as I'm the listing broker that is listing the property on the MLS.  This is an MLS requirement that the listing brokerage sign is on the property and this will also ensure that your property looks like the other properties listed.  Note: For Sale By Owner signs will need to be removed once listed as they aren't allowed.
We have been selling real estate and pioneering the discount brokerage concept in the Omaha area for over 20 years.
When clients follow the instructions in the kit and listen to our suggestions, it is nearly 100%. The key to selling a home is to make buyers see your home as a good value, which includes pricing it right. Buyers are savvy and the appraisal process makes sure the buyer isn't over paying. If you list your home too high, it will most likely not sell.
Our normal business hours are 8 - 6 Monday-Friday. However, we do check emails during non-business hours 7 days a week.
It is posted on the MLS for agents to see. The going rate is 2-3% based on the market area you are located at that needs to be offered to the buyer's agent that the sellers pay for at closing.  See listing plans. 
Yes, you may cancel your listing at anytime, unless your home is under contract or in negotiation.  Note: that all MLS packages are non-refundable.
No, only a licensed REALTOR® who is member of NAR (National Association of Realtors) and the local MLS board can list on the MLS. There is no other way.
See the packages that clearly lay out the upfront fee and fee that is due at closing which includes paying the buyer's coop commission.  COMPARE THAT to the 6% guys!!
As sellers, you do have your own customary closing fees that are due at closing that comes with selling your home regardless.
The buyer's agent will initiate the initial purchase agreement and we will make sure that any trailing documents needed are executed from the seller end or buyer end.  Keep in mind that there is a settlement agent that will make sure to create the seller deed package, payoff, etc...
Many sellers do use this option. However, some have never heard of listing for a flat fee and some feel there is some catch or it is too good to be true. The more research you do, you will see this is the best way to sell a property. Some people may be misled by the traditional brokerage to think that they are getting more service with a 6 or 7% option. 
Your MLS number is generated at the time we list your property on the MLS. Once listed we will email you a link to your listing which will have the MLS# on it.
As long as you provide good quality photos and complete information, your listing will look like all other listings on the MLS. How much money you pay us to list your property is not posted on the MLS and agents are not concerned with how much you paid us, they are only concerned with how much money they will make. However, agents recognize that they have to do more work when they are working directly with the seller. They feel they are taking over duties that listing agents normally provide, that is why we pay them 3% on Showcase listings. Since we provide all services listing brokers typically provide on Full Service listings, agents will gladly show and sell them for 2.4%.

While some flat fee companies will allow low agent payouts, we have learned from our 20+ years experience in discount brokerage that is a recipe for failure. The whole purpose of flat fee brokerage is to expose your property to buyers agents and their clients. Agents do not like being underpaid anymore than you do. From our experience with other flat fee companies most sellers that offered less than the recommended commission rates eventually raised them. But, they lost the "new on the market" impact that a new listing garners. Unlike some of our competitors we are in business to sell your house, not to collect a listing fee. Your success is vital to our success!
Listing on the MLS greatly increases your exposure. Roughly 90% of the buyers use an agent. Many of those buyers leave it up to their agent to search for homes, which means that any homes not on the MLS will get passed over. Those buyers that do look for their own homes often refer For Sale By Owner Properties to their agent who then contacts the owner and offers to show the house to their buyer in exchange for a commission. If you are willing to pay an agent a commission why not offer your home to ALL agents?
In order for us to continue to offer this service, we have to reserve the right to make all of our MLS packages non-refundable.
Once the property hits the MLS and you decide to cancel early the upfront fee is non-refundable. 

Most of the work, the marketing, and the time we put in are during the initial period of listing. We hope you understand this policy and let us know if you have any questions.
ShowingTime automatically sends out a feedback request form to all agents that show your house. If the agent doesn't respond to the first request, a second feedback form is sent to them. The form is designed to elicit important feedback from the agent while keeping the process simple for them. In our experience half of the agents ignore the form and the other half provides feedback only when they feel there is something to be noted. It is counter productive to push agents to provide feedback when they choose not to, so we do not call them for feedback and don't recommend that you do either. We will forward you all feedback that we receive. 
No, you are not considered a For Sale By Owner as you are exclusively listed with a brokerage and now cooperating with other brokerages.
No, as your listing broker lists all across the state and not located in the same city you are asking him to list your home at.  All communication will be done by email or text.  Phone calls can potentially be scheduled but are limited based on availability.
