More Effective Flat Fee MLS Listings for Florida Sellers

There are 5 tips that make selling flat fee MLS in Florida more successful.

1) Have the flat fee MLS listing service send all the buyer leads and Realtor calls to you by email in real time 8:00-8:00 7 days a week.

2) Use a sign that is Realtor friendly. The sign should resemble a full-service sign and not make reference to flat fee. The sign should not be a FSBO red and white sign as Realtors get confused when they see FSBO signs because: (i) they truly are not indicative of a MLS listed property; (ii) they fear that their buyers might take the number off the sign and call the seller directly.

3) If you intend to offer a 4% or higher buyer's agent commission I would recommend the Street Smart ADDvantage Eblast program because it reaches almost all Realtors within 45 miles of your property twice a month with your special commission offer. Street Smart ADDvantage is the most respected Realtor to Realtor email in the real estate industry.

4) Consider ADDvantage Plus ($799 plus $500 at close). This flat fee listing offers sellers more privacy, more service, gets more Realtors showings and you'll receive unlimited contract to close representation. Flat fee listings are more effective when the seller uses ADDvantage Plus because it is similar to full-service but with a flat fee price.

5) Read the flat fee listing agreement carefully before signing.
