Flat Fee or Commission?
There are some companies offering to list your home in the Long Beach MLS (multiple listing service) for a flat fee but who represents you in the transaction? The buyer’s agent? You need representation in the sale of a property. Someone to look out for your best interests…do you really believe in your heart that the buyer’s agent will do that?
- Of course not. They are working for the buyer.
While you may save money with one of these discount companies that add you to the mls, who is liable for the information that they put into the mls? Why are they willing to do it for a flat fee? Do they not believe that they can represent your best interests?
What if the buyer’s agent forgets to have you sign a mandatory disclosure form? Are you now opened up to law suits by the buyer?
When we list a Long Beach home or condo for a seller, we let them choose the best price based upon the most recent sales in the area. It is our commitment to help them get the highest price possible for the property. Price is determined by what a willing buyer and a willing seller are willing to accept.
We have been receiving multiple offers on our listings. Out of the last 10 offers that we had on 1 listing, only 1 agent filled out the purchase contract correctly. That’s sad.
All of the agents on our Team are trained by Stella Frize, California Realtor® and Real Estate Trainer, to fill out the purchase and listing contracts correctly so that it doesn’t end up costing the buyer or seller more money than they bargained for…
