Sellers are really only interested in the net amount of money they make once the home is sold. With high commision based on the total sales value, the sellers net equity can come way, way down, forcing them to market the home at a higher price to make up the difference of paying a high percentage to list versus a single low cost flat fee. With the Atlanta flat fee mls listing you will have the same access to the main tool that real estate agents have used to sell your home in the past; however, a deep discount. That tool is the mls or multiple listing services. The best mls in Atlanta is FMLS or First Multiple Listing Services. This service allows agents to instantly advertise listing information to 2,260 member offices as well as share the information on the World Wide Web with thousands of websites from both local and national brokers. No other marketing tool comes close to the power of the mls for selling a home; in fact, over 90% of all sold homes are done so directly by a mls listing.

It is obvious that times of changed; the question is how do you take advantage of today's low cost access and marketing power of the mls listing with a flat fee Llsting. The answer is to out price your competition that is on market in your area with a full services broker. This is a major reason that several top selling brokers in the Atlanta market are strictly Flat Fee MLS brokers. They simple allow the seller to net a similar amount or even more while offering their home a discount relative to other like properties that a potential buyer may be looking to buy. To accurately price your home, deduct the amount saved by not using a full services real estate agent in your area. This is usually between 3-7%. This will allow you to sell your home with the fewest days on market; which in effect saves you thousands in mortgage payments that are almost if not completely interest payments on your debt. This is yet another advantage that a flat fee seller can have over the traditional full cost broker, while still maintaining the major marketing source of all professional real estate agents. The old adage location, location, location is of little value in an extreme buyers market, markets where there are far more homes for sale than buyers, of which Atlanta, Ga is a great example. The new phrase is price, price, price, because it is very rare to find an area where there are not several homes for sale on the same street. Stated another way, the pricing options available to a seller with a full services real estate agent versus a fsbo Atlanta home are very limited. Often a seller can only go down to the current mortgage amount because few people are willing or able to pay to sell their home.

Again, if you have a flat fee Mls Listing, you can go between 3-7 percent lower than your competition. Take it from me, in this market price sells and there is no debating that those who opt for a flat fee mls listing get 90% of the same marketing and the ability to sell their home a up 7% less.
