What is an MLS listing?

MLS stands for “Multiple Listing Service,” the MLS is a database of available homes for sale that licensed REALTORS® can access to find homes for their buyers and to list for their sellers.

Many sellers are wanting to avoid paying real estate agent commissions that can top six percent. With the average cost of a home in the Arizona at $300, sellers can fork over nearly $17,000 at closing. Why so much? Sellers are responsible for paying not one, but two agents’ commissions at closing. Typically, three percent goes to their own agent and another three percent goes to the buyer’s agent as a fee for bringing the buyer to the sale.

Many sellers don’t know that both commissions are negotiable, particularly in today’s competitive market. Still, even with a discounted commission, sellers want to keep more of their own money. This is the main reason why so many home sellers decide to sell their own homes through Mountain Lake Realty

The Maricopa county MLS.. ARMLS is THE place to get your property found. Unless you have neighbors, family, friends, or co-workers who are wanting to buy your home off-market, you will likely have a difficult time selling your home without an MLS listing.

The MLS is a database of property listings and all of their many details. Agents fill out the fields for their clients and then make it “live,” where other agents and brokers can see it in a search. The listing is also available to real estate websites, such as REALTOR.comⓇ, Zillow, Trulia and real estate agency websites. All of these sites make the property database searchable for consumers.

It also automatically posts the listing to hundreds of real estate websites— some of which will only pull from the MLS.

Biggest Advantages of Selling Your Home with a Flat-Fee MLS Listing

One benefit of choosing a flat-fee MLS listing is just how much it simplifies selling your home, which can often turn into a fairly complicated process. There are actually three reasons to consider choosing a flat-fee MLS real-estate agent if you’re thinking about selling your house.

1. You Keep More of the Dollars from Your Home’s Sale

Turning a profit may not be the primary reason you’re selling your home, no one wants to take a loss on such a sizable investment.

That’s why so many sellers have begun using Arizona Flat Fee MLS listings

For example, if your home sells for $400,000 and you agreed to pay your agent and the buyer’s agent a total of 6% percent of the sales price for a traditional listing, then you’re out $24,000!

2. An Experienced Agent Still Handles the Entire Sale of Your Home

In the past, home sellers who weren’t satisfied with paying agents thousands to sell their home only had one alternative: handle the entire sale on their own.

Of course, this is easier said than done.

Selling a home requires everything from connections with agents in the area who represent buyers to an understanding of local real-estate laws and contracts. Juggling these responsibilities with those of everyday life usually means the venture doesn’t get very far.
