THE DEATH OF 6% LISTING COMMISSIONS
You should know that 95%* of "listing agents" do not in fact sell their own listings. A "buyers agent" can "find" your property advertised
on this web site and/or in the
For Sale By Owner magazine or listed on the MLS and bring a buyer to you. You should negotiate a
2%~3% "courtesy to broker" with this "buyers agent." Better yet,
pay ZERO commission since 70% of our sellers' buyers come direct from our FSBO
marketing system.
It is absolutely absurd to list your property with a "listing agent" that will not actually sell it, and
if they do manage to find a buyer, this agent
would then be a "buyers
agent" for 3%, don't fall for the "dual agency" 6%+ commission scam!
What does this mean for you the seller? Simple, Market your property through this
web site and our FSBO magazine, and if you want to additionally list with the MLS
(Multiple Listing Service) we can do so for a small
flat fee thus bypassing half of the standard 6% commission..
Not only is obligating yourself to one "listing agent" to simply
input your property into the MLS with a 6%+ commission absurd, but it can actually slow the sale of your
property, because buyers these days are shopping FSBO's first, they know that agent listed property prices are inflated to cover the cost of the 6%+ commission.
When your property goes into the MLS as part of our marketing efforts, you have
an "option" not the "contractual obligation" to pay a
commission, thus affording you
an opportunity to price your property more attractively compared to similar
agent listed properties. Some buyers have agent friends that will give them an MLS lists of
properties for
sale, and so the buyer can come to you direct without an agent.
Our 1% broker program is all you need to aggressively price & market your
property and successfully sell your property 'by owner' in the shortest time
frame.
90% of our sellers do sell in 2-4 months or less, with a whopping 70% paying absolutely
No Commissions and only 30% paying half a commission or less (by choice
to a buyers
agent), and 100%
paying absolutely No listing commissions! *2007 Jan. - Sept. mauiboard.com
