And here's the catch....very good catch. Traditional Realtors charge you commissions of approximately 6% of the selling price of your home in exchange for listing your property in the MLS database. FloridaMLSConnect.com™has changed all that.
We give you access to the MLS - the most powerful real estate marketing tool available, for an affordable flat fee. So whether you're buying or selling, we enable you to save thousands in commissions while still taking advantage of the power of the MLS.
Sometimes, our customers can avoid a commission altogether. Here's how:
Realtor.com and other public sites: If buyers find one of our customer's properties on a website such as Realtor.com (the official site of the National Association of Realtors and the most visited real estate site on the webs with over 6.6 million unique visitors a month), FloridaMLSConnect.com™ forwards those leads to them directly and they pay no commission because no agent is involved.
Classified Ads: Or, if our customers decide to market their property on their own in addition to the MLS such as a classified ad or a "by owner" website - again, there is no commission. Under most full-service Realtor listing agreements, the Seller pays their Realtor the 6% commission whether the Realtor sells the home or you sell you home yourself...even to your friends and family. Our listing agreement gives you the option of selling it on your own in which case you pay no commission. If a Realtor does bring you a ready, willing and able buyer and you accept that buyer's offer, only then will you pay that Realtor the commission they are due. For our small flat fee isn't it worth seeing what kinds of buyer's your local Realtors bring you? What do you have to lose?
Florida MLS Connect: If a buyer comes to you through our website they have direct access to your contact information and can contact you directly. If they are not represented by an agent, you pay no commission. Our marketing budget is spent in Florida focusing on Florida real estate. It is a much more concentrated effort than you could get with a national company.
