Why our reputation with Miami Realtors helps you get more Realtors® showings
Over the past 5 years, our company has answered every call “live” from 8:00am-8:00pm… 7 days a week. Every Miami Realtor® that has called ADDvantage® seeking showing instructions has reached a human. They were given the exact showing instructions in the seller’s account. If locked boxed, they were given the code, of course, after they gave us their license number, email address, company name, show time and contact number. If owner occupied, then we pass along what ever the seller has informed us to do.
When Realtors® are searching the MLS, the listing broker company name will appear. If this name triggers a positive experience for that Realtor®, they will not pass over the listing, even if that listing is limited service or flat fee.
But, if that Realtor® recognizes a company that they associate with poor service because that flat fee or full-service Realtor® has not answered their phone, many Realtors® will not even bother to make a call to schedule a showing.
Our commitment to excellence has earned ADDvantage® of Miami a reputation that can be your asset. When Realtors® see our name as the listing broker they remember ADDvantage® as the company that is always available. Our reputation makes listing your Miami property with us a true value. The reputation of the flat fee MLS service dictates how many Realtor® showings you will receive.
Many by owners MLS sellers think getting listed in SE Florida MLS is all the one needs to get sold! But, if you knew the whole story you might think differently. Most flat fee MLS listing services in Florida don’t answer their phone reliably. They often have a recorded message that says, “Realtors, look in the MLS for seller’s phone number.” This is a horrible approach to the number ONE SALES FORCE, the Realtors®. This type of service results in a bad reputation with full-service buyer’s agents. If they see a listing from a company that has dis-serviced them, they may move on to another listing.
Realtors® don’t love flat fee MLS brokers because they see us as competition for listings. Flat rate MLS sellers do not pay a listing commission which saves the by owner at least 50%. We know Realtors® already have a chip of their shoulder and have made them our allies.
At ADDvantage®, we have done just that that 5 years in a row. We have answered every Realtor®call for showing instructions “live” from 8:00am-8:00pm 7 days a week.
ADDvantage is also a “concierge” flat fee MLS service as many of our flat fee MLS plans blend in with other full-service listings. We offer more than just “traditional” self-represented flat fee MLS listings at ADDvantage®.
ADDvantage® offers 2 hybrid-flat-fee-MLS listing plans where we represent the seller. One plan is called ADDvantage Plus™ and the other ADDvantage Success™. The only difference between these two flat rate plans is with “Plus,” the seller “works” all unrepresented buyer leads from Realtor.com and other sources in an effort to sell without paying any commission. With ADDvantage Success™, our local Miami agents work all “unrepresented buyers” to help you sell the home. With either plan, the seller only pays one commission which is typically 3%. Just one agent will be earning that commission. This saves the seller 50% and removes the hassle of working with buyers and writing the sales contract.
These two hybrid plans, ADDvantage Plus™ and ADDvantage Success™, are also imputed into the MLS as an “Exclusive Right of Sale Listings” not “Exclusive Agency.” All full-service listing are designated in the MLS as “Exclusive Right of Sale Listings” and flat fee listings are “Exclusive Agency.”
ADDvantage Plus™ and ADDvantage Success™ listings improve our overall image in the real estate community. With these plans we take all calls, schedule all showings and negotiate all offers right through closing. The seller benefits and we add more value to our already good reputation as a flat fee MLS concierge company.
