This includes preparing contracts, arranging inspections, appraisal issues, negotiations, handling all details from contract to closing-commission paid at closing.
Once I sign up with the For Sale by Owner program, how long before my listing will show on the Internet?
Your listing will be processed and shown on the mls & the Internet within 24 hours, 7 days a week once the brokerage or agent receives all your information necessary to list.
Does my telephone number show in the multiple listing service?
Yes. We place your information in the private remarks of the listing. This means that agents are able to call you directly to schedule appointments. Your information is not put in the public remarks section because the mls rules and regulations require parties to be licensed agents and brokers. Your contact information is also listed on realtyuniversal.com & ownersandagents.com with your mls numbers for easy access. When our company information is listed parties call our number or e-mail our office and your contact information is given immediately.
If someone calls your office, how would I know that you are not taking my lead?
If a prospective buyer calls our office inquiring about your home, we take their information and give them all of your contact information. We also encourage you to spot-check us randomly to ensure you that this is being done.
How long is my property listed for?
Until it sells.
I am a seller going over the agreement giving you permission to list my property in the MLS. I do not understand the last paragraph that says to check off yes or no in regards to you advertising my property.
Our company runs additional advertising on full listings and also runs spot ads on properties. If you check yes, you are giving us permission to advertise your property alongside our full listings at no additional cost to you. This is in addition to all of the exposure you are already receiving with the “for sale by owner program”. If we bring a buyer from this additional advertising, your only cost is what you are offering to agents/brokers as a coop/courtesy fee. There are no additional monies due our company.
What if I allow the running of additional spot ads at no cost to me and the buyer already has an agent?
We receive no compensation or commission.
If I check off yes to your company advertising my property and you produce a buyer from that advertising, does this mean I have to pay 6%?
No, only whatever percentage you are offering other brokers. 3% or whatever amount you decide up front.
