Why do sellers often pay real estate agents 5, 6 or 7% of the sales price to sell their home?
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a very powerful marketing tool in place today to sell homes.
Most homes around the country sell through the MLS system. The power of MLS is cooperation and compensation. Most sales involve two different offices, a listing office and a selling office.
You can pay less and still get MLS
Assist-2-Sell, Sellers & Buyers Realty allows you to enjoy the full power of the MLS while paying less.
Here's how it works
When you list with a traditional agent, they place your home into the MLS system. The listing office offers to share 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!
Assist-2-Sell, Sellers & Buyers Realty, is a member of the Greater Boston Real Estate Board and the MLS service (Property Information Network) serving all of eastern Massachusetts from Springfield east to the New Hampshire border and to Cape Cod. We offer you the option of placing your home in the same MLS system at a lower total commission. Just like the traditional offices, we share the commission with MLS agents so they have all the same incentives to sell your home as they would with any other homes in the MLS. In most cases, the cooperating agents earn the same selling commission they are accustomed to receiving because Assist-2-Sell, Sellers & Buyers Realty, absorbs the "discounted" portion of the total commission.
"MLS For Less!" fee structure
Through our "MLS For Less" program, we will place your home in the Multiple Listing Service for an additional commission fee of just 2.0% of the sales price. This fee is offered as compensation to any MLS agent that sells the home. The seller of a $200,000 home would typically pocket a savings of 21% to 43% of the fee they would expect to pay with most other agencies. The percentage of savings will vary based on the sales price of the home.
How can we sell homes for lower commissions?
Volume! By charging a very competitive lower commission, Assist-2-Sell, Sellers & Buyers Realty, attracts a higher number of listings than traditional agents. We can afford to make less on each sale when we sell more homes.
