Flat Fee MLS for $495! CONGRATULATIONS! You have joined the ranks of the smartest Consumers! While visiting our site, you are going to realize that you have NEW OPTIONS and it is NOT neccessary to pay 6% or 7% to get your home sold! Why do other Real Estate Companies charge sellers 6% or 7% to sell their home? Because they have to recoup their expenses for the listings they took that DID NOT sell! That is the reality of the Real Estate Business. With any business, there are hard costs and expenses, as well as value for experience and professional services. In addition, Sellers have been CONDITIONED to believe that paying 6% or 7% is necessary to get their home sold. At Assist-2-Sell New Options Realty, we believe in offering our clients different options. That is why we are excited about offering our new "FLAT FEE MLS" Program. This program allows the Seller to participate even more in the process of selling their home and select the services they feel they need. Which enables them to sell their home for as low as THE FLAT FEE OF $495 AND 1/2 % OF THE SALES PRICE! For Sellers that need more services, we still offer our "Full Service, with Savings" program. Compare our two programs here: Plan Comparison Even though the Seller is paying less, we still offer value and extensive services, which includes the following: The Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) is the single most powerful marketing tool in place today to sell homes. Why do "traditional" agents use the MLS as their primary marketing plan, Because it works! Most homes around the country sell through the MLS system. The power of MLS is cooperation and compensation. Most homes listed in the MLS do not sell by the listing offices! In actuality, most sales involve two different offices, a listing office and a selling office. In order to have the most exposure, it is not as important which office you choose to list your home, as it is that your home is listed in the MLS. You Can Pay Less and Still Get the Full Power of MLS!! Assist-2-Sell allows you enjoy the full power of MLS while paying less. Here is How it Works... When you list with a traditional agent, they place your home into MLS. The listing office shares the total commission you are paying with the other MLS agents. This compensation is their incentive to sell YOUR home. Assist-2-Sell offers MLS for LESS! We at Assist-2-Sell are REALTORS® and are members of our local MLS®. Assist-2-Sell places your home in the same MLS system at a lower total commission, (with no "transaction fees"). Just like the traditional offices, our sellers offer a Buyers Agent commission, so the agents have the same incentive to sell your home as all the other homes in the MLS. The commission to the cooperating agents is 2.7% of the sales price. So they earn the same selling commission they are accustomed to receiving because Assist-2-Sell absorbs the "discounted" portion of the total commission. And the best part of our "FLAT FEE MLS" Program is that if at any time you find a Buyer that is not working with an agent ---YOU ONLY PAY THE FLAT FEE OF $495 AND 1/2 % OF THE SALES PRICE --- NOT THE 2.7% Buyer Agent commission! How We Can Sell Homes for Lower Commissions? Volume, It's as simple as that. By charging a very competitive lower commission, Assist-2-Sell attracts a higher number of listings than "traditional" agents. We can afford to make less on each sale when we sell more homes. We also operate as a team so all advertising dollars are effectively spent on selling YOUR home and NOT promoting our individual agents. Most real estate agents offer just one marketing program which primarily focuses on placing your home in MLS and having other agents sell it. The Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) is the single most powerful marketing tool in place today to sell homes. While there is no question that MLS is a very powerful marketing tool, at Assist-2-Sell, we believe you deserve choices, and we recognize that. Many home sellers like the idea of using Assist-2-Sell's FLAT FEE MLS marketing program for one simple reason.........YOU CAN UTILIZE THE MLS AND SELL YOUR HOME FOR AS LOW $495 AND 1/2 % OF THE SALES PRICE! Why Pay 6% - Pay a low flat fee, as low as $495 AND 1/2 % OF THE SALES PRICE! At Assist-2-Sell we pride ourselves on offering our sellers the highest level of CUSTOMER SERVICE, AGGRESSIVE ADVERTISING and SAVINGS! How does it Work? In order for a buyer to purchase your home, they first need to know it is available. We call this exposure. We expose your home to buyers utilizing these primary marketing avenues: SIGNS Buyers tend to drive through neighborhoods in which they are interested. A surprising number of homes sell from buyers seeing a sign. We believe in making sure that buyers CAN FIND your home --- easily and readily through our signage. HAVE YOU SEEN OUR SIGNS? ADVERTISING At Assist-2-Sell we believe in using advertising that WORKS! We don't waste money on useless advertising or use misleading ads that make buyers call to find out the information that they want at their fingertips. All advertising done by Assist-2-Sell provides the buyers with the homes address, the price and the particulars that may fit the buyers needs. Another key element to how we advertise is that WE ADVERTISE YOUR HOME not individual agents. We advertise to attract buyers so our ads are informative, not fluffy. INFORMATIVE FLYERS All Assist-2-Sell sellers have access to our informative flyers. We believe that buyers, when they come to your home, should find the flyer box full of informative flyers directing them to visit our website for even more information and full color photos. BUYER HOTSHEET Have you seen the back of one of our flyers? If you have not - turn one over and enjoy learning about more of our properties and then visit our full color website for pictures and more information. Our sellers enjoy the increased buyer traffic they enjoy from the exposure their home receives from a home across town. INTERNET Many Buyers use the Internet to search for homes. Our website (as you can see) is in full color and streamlined so viewers enjoy EASE of use and information that is relevant. Why visit any other website? Our Sellers and Buyers further enjoy the benefits of todays technology through the most prominent Real Estate shopping websites. WORD OF MOUTH Mention to someone you are selling and they might know of someone interested in buying. With a traditional office when you help find the buyer, you most likely will still be charged the full commission. At Assist-2-Sell, you enjoy a lower fee if you find the buyer. You pay only a low flat fee, $495 AND 1/2 % OF THE SALES PRICE OTHER When you think about it, there are really not too many other ways to let buyers know that your home is available. If you are considering another company, be sure to ask if they have any additional fees, IN ADDITION to their "Traditional" commission. Many companies have additional "Transaction" fees charged at closing. Our low flat fee is clearly stated! NO HIDDEN SURPRISES!! What else is included in our Program?
