Please browse this website and find out how you can save money by listing
with Debbie and Richard. We will list and market your home so that the
greatest number of people will see your property. And save you money at
the same time. Most REALTORS
REALTORS®
in the Louisville Metro area find property
to show to their clients by searching the MLS listings, not For Sale by Owners.
We will list your home on the MLS for a one time flat fee. If you list
with us for a 5% commission we will rebate a
portion of our commission to you at closing.

WHAT IS THE MLS?
The MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is a computerized database
that contains information on all properties listed for sale with
REALTORS® who are MLS members. ONLY licensed REALTORS® may subscribe to the services of the MLS.
WHY WOULD I WANT TO PUT MY HOME IN THE MLS? WOULDN'T REALTORS® SHOW
IT ANYWAY?
As soon as a property is listed in the MLS, it shows up on a "hot
sheet" of new listings. As a FSBO, most REALTORS® won 't
even know about your house unless they happen to be driving through
your neighborhood and see your sign. The REALTORS®
who will see your
newspaper ad are not normally the ones who are working with buyers.
They are looking for FSBO properties to try to list—for other
REALTORS® to sell. Most REALTORS®
will tend to avoid FSBO properties
because they assume you are not willing to work with them, and many
REALTORS® feel its just too much trouble for them to get you to sign a
one party showing agreement to insure they receive a commission.
Many will go so far as to avoid driving by your house with buyers in
their car—for fear of losing the buyer.
Another point to remember: having your house in the MLS will help
stop those pesky listing specialists from bothering you to list with
them. When a house is listed in the MLS
through a REALTOR®, other REALTORS® are not permitted to solicit your
listing. That, in itself, may be worth the cost of using our
services.
Finally, since REALTORS®, through the MLS, have the
largest marketplace of homes at their disposal,
most serious buyers work with a REALTOR®. These
may be buyers who are being relocated or have already sold their
home and need to find a new one fast. Most people who are looking
for FSBO homes in the newspaper are people who are looking to get a
deal by working directly with the owner. They want to benefit by
getting the commission savings that the seller was hoping to pocket.
Or they may be a shrewd investor who is hoping to take advantage of
an inexperienced seller. Debbie & Richard want to be
your Metro Louisville Real Estate Agents. |
