ADDvantage Plus Puts Miami Flat Fee MLS Ahead of all Other By Owner MLS Listings

Florida’s real estate market is definitely showing new signs of life in November. We have successfully negotiated 5 ADDvantage Plus contracts last week. I am hopeful that the low interest rate environment and actions by the “bailout” shores up short sale and REO activity.

Looking forward, the best advice I can give Miami by owner MLS sellers is to price your home competitively and disregard the active short or the closed short sales. Realtors in Miami, Orlando and Tampa are focusing on properties they can close for their buyers and avoiding the lure of short sales. The bottom line for Realtors is you can’t make a living off short sales only.

At ADDvantage, we offer flat fee MLS listings in all Florida counties, including Greater Miami-Dade. I have been a flat fee MLS listing broker in Miami since 2000. In 2005, we started offering our unique brand of flat fee MLS in Orlando, Tampa, Jacksonville and many other Florida cities.

Our flat rate MLS plans cost a bit more than our competition but we offer more service and a very articulate flat fee MLS listing agreement which spells our all the important details that sellers need to know about.

I often visit our competition’s websites to see what’s new. Some flat fee offers are genuine but many are not. Without writing a thesis about what to look out for when listing in the MLS flat fee in Miami, there are 3 key points that you need to be aware of.

First would be the right to cancel a listing and escape the listing agreement unscathed. Easier said then done in many cases. Sellers need these words in their listing agreement…”unconditional withdrawal.” This means the listing broker will cancel and remove the MLS listing immediately thus enabling another broker to re-list the property. No other words will suffice…not “remove”, not “cancel”, not “conditional withdrawal” etc.

The next point is phone support. Most flat fee websites all say the same misleading rhetoric that “all calls go directly to the seller.” This is false. This past weekend, we fielded over 30 calls from buyers and Realtors through Florida seeking showing instructions. One example of how important live phone support truly is to the flat fee MLS seller was a call I took at 12:20pm Sunday from a unrepresented buyer in Miami requesting to see a $1,300,000 home. Our seller was home and meet with the buyer. This buyer called ADDvantage from an ad in Realtor.com and no seller contact information is allowed in Realtor.com by rule of the MLS. 2,900 Realtors in Florida have called ADDvantage over the past 12 months either ignoring the Realtor remarks section of the MLS that clearly states “call seller directly at 305-393-8138 for all showings and offers” or because they couldn’t reach the seller. When listing flat fee, phone support can make the difference between selling and not selling.

The last major point of listing with a reliable and ethical Miami flat fee service is buyer leads. That $1,300,000 buyer lead that I received on Sunday went right to our flat fee MLS seller in real time. Not all flat fee brokers hand-over buyer leads from Realtor.com, homes.com and other FSBO websites to their sellers. These leads are extremely valuable to the seller and possibly to the flat fee unscrupulous broker. A $1,300,000 sale would result in a $40,000 commission at 3%.

In our flat fee MLS listing agreement, we state these 3 key points very clearly. Most flat fee website don’t even show you a listing agreement until after you pay. That is about as crazy as signing a note without knowing the interest rate.

ADDvantage offers 4 flat fee MLS listing plans. My favorite MLS listing plan is ADDvantage Plus because it looks and acts like a full-service listing, $799 plus $500 at close. A “Plus” listing in the MLS comes with Street Smart ADDvantage Realtor eblast marketing, contract-to-close representation, we take all calls and schedule all appointments and all buyer leads belong to the seller. This is a perfect flat fee listing.

The public’s favorite flat fee listing at ADDvantage is MLS ADDvantage for $349. And Street Smart ADDvantage is the most effective Realtor-to-Realtor marketing in Florida…But, you must offer a 4% or > buyer’s agent commission.

Call us anytime and we will pick up the phone guaranteed …8:00am-8:00pm 7 days. 1-305-393-8138. Or, visit oour flat fee MLS Tampa blogging site.
