Answer: 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.
Question: Does my telephone number show in the multiple listing service?
Answer: Yes. Your information is placed 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 do not allow contact information in the general remarks. This includes agent contact information. The premise is they want agents to feel comfortable handing out a copy of your listing to everyone without their buyer clients going directly to another agent or you. Your contact innformation is also listed on realtyuniversal.com & ownersandagents.com with your mls numbers for easy access. When the agent's or brokerages company information is listed, parties call our number or e-mail our office and your contact information is given immediately.
Question: How long is my property listed for?
Answer: Your property will be listed for the duration of 1 year from the activation date (The date your listing goes live in the MLS)
Question: I am a seller going over the agreement giving you permission to list my property in the MLS. I do not understand the paragraph that says to check off yes or no in regards to you advertising my property. This paragraph may vary depending on brokerage. Some accept less if you still show the property. Excellent to do because you will more than likely be paying a coop fee to an agent since most buyers come through agents still to this day. It is totally up to you and you do retain a full exclusion to sell your home yourself without paying any additional fee. Super important to use a sign in sheet and ask on the sign in sheet if the buyer is working with an agent or not, to avoid issues later if the buyer decides to use an agent.
Answer: Brokerages run additional advertising on full listings and also runs spot ads on properties. If you check yes, you are giving permission to advertise your property alongside 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 a buyer is brought in 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.
Question: What if I allow the running of additional spot ads at no cost to me and the buyer already has an agent?
Answer: No additional compensation or commissions are received.
Question: If I check off yes to the advertising of my property and you produce a buyer from that advertising, does this mean I have to pay 6%?
Answer: No, only whatever percentage you are offering other brokers. 3% or whatever amount you decide up front.
Question: How do we sign up with the program?
Answer: Simply click the "Sign up Now" button and follow the links provided.
