We service all  50 states!!!  if you sell your  property  privately, your only cost would be the $349.00- $500.00 up front fee. Simply sign up, fill out  the forms, and  fax or mail  them back; its that easy!  The Internet  sites which your property  will be listed on  in addition to your  local MLS will include your local board sites plus Realtor.com, RealtyUniversal.com, and OwnersandAgents.com, postlets.com, googlebase.com. oodle.com, yahoo.com, worldproperties.com. trulia.com, fsbo.com and more.
