I think some banks are not listing many of their REO's right now in hopes of better times to come. - Wed Jun 24 2009, 08:42

Hi Karen,
I’m a flat fee listing broker in SW Florida and I just wanted to mention on this forum that listing with a flat fee broker is much better than going the traditional route. With so many traditional Realtors speaking against the flat fee model on the forum I would like to set the record strait. I could give you thousands of reasons not to list with a traditional agent but here are just a few:
1. With a traditional broker, if you sell your house to your neighbor, a friend, even a family member the day after you list, then the traditional listing broker will typically take 6% of your sale price. With a flat fee broker such as myself you would only pay $495. (Most flat fee companies allow you to sell your house on your own and pay No Commission.)
2. Listings with flat fee brokers usually have better internet exposure than with traditional agents.
3. As a seller, the most important marketing tool for your house is your local MLS. If your property is priced right, listed in the local MLS, and offering a competitive commission to the buyers’ agent, it should sell.
4. Because of all the local Boards of Realtors it is advantageous to list with a local broker who is aware of all the rules and regulations of the local board. Today, you can find a local flat fee broker for most places in Florida.
5. Many flat fee brokers offer additional services such as representation for a discounted rate. For example, I offer “full service” for an additional 1% paid at closing.
6. Flat fee brokers generally do more volume and are more experienced.
7. Flat fee brokers can provide everything you need to sell your real estate at a fraction of the cost of traditional brokers.
8. Real estate sales have not changed much in nearly 100 years. Traditional agents are dinosaurs. Flat fee brokers are the way of the future. - Mon Jul 14 2008, 12:16
