  • Frequently Asked Questions

How does Flat Fee Listing work?

Your Listing on the MLS for a flat fee looks the same as a listing with a 6% REALTOR®. We are REALTORS® and a BROKER. You can sell your property to someone not represented by an agent and NOT pay a buyer agent commission, however if an agent brings a buyer, that agent will need to be paid a commission. This gives you the best of both worlds in searching for a buyer for your property. 

How Long does it take to get listed?

We normally have you listed within 1-2 business days after we receive the paperwork & photos.

How long before I receive the sign and lock box?

A lockbox can be delivered within a few days.
Yard signs with our office number take 2-3 business days for arrival.
Custom printed yard signs take 4-5 business days for arrival.

Will my phone number be on the MLS?

Yes, we put your contact info on the MLS for agents to call you if they have questions. It is not displayed in public Realtor sites like CTReal.com or Realtor.com.

How do potential buyers contact me?

Your phone number goes on the sign. Should buyers call us or email us, we give them your contact information. Our site also provides your contact info.

How will I get offers?

The Buyer Agent will deliver a copy to you.

What phone number goes on the sign?

Your phone number goes on the sign.

How do buyer agents know how much commission we are offering?

It is posted on the MLS for agents to see.

Can I cancel listing at anytime and list with another agent?

Yes, you may cancel your listing at anytime, unless your home is under contract.

Can I personally list my property on the MLS without a REALTOR®?

No, only a licensed REALTOR® who is member NAR (National Association of Realtors) and the local MLS board can list on the MLS. There is no other way.

Is the flat fee all we pay you to list? Do we owe you anymore fees at closing?

You only pay the flat fee at time of listing and you owe us no money at closing.

Who handles the paperwork?

The Buyer's Agent will do most of the paperwork, and your Attorney should be involved to modify, check that it is complete, and approve it before you sign it. 

When will I receive my MLS#?

Your MLS# is generated at the time we list your property on the MLS. Once listed we will email you a link to your listing and your MLS number.

Will buyer's agents be reluctant to show my property listed like this?

No, as your listing looks just like all other listings on the MLS. You are listed the exact same way as all other listings. 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.
