Did anyone use an MLS flat list
Hi,
Did anyone who when they sold their home up north (or west) use a flat fee MLS service? It costs between $300 and $500 depending on the length of listing and if it includes any help like a webpage or more pictures. There is also Redfin that charges 1.5% instead of 3%. Now of course I would still have to pay the 3% to the buyers agent but I mean this is a difference of between 15 and 28 thousand dollars in commission.
If I price it low (interviewed realtors suggestion) and have a professional stager (realtors suggestion) and wait till April (realtors suggestion) it should sell in about a week to ten days, if this summer was any indication.
Paying out a total of $54000 in commissions for a weeks work just kills me. I hate paying the high closing fees, about $20 thousand, as well but those I can't avoid (we have a state tax of 1.78%and county excise etc ).
All advice gratefully accepted .
