Easiest way to do it and avoid all the BS is to engage a flat fee listing/realtor. You pay a flat fee, like maybe $500-$600, get a menu of additional services you might want, then they list it on the MLS and handle all the showings and scheduling. You set the buyer’s broker fee as well.
I’ve sold two homes this way, as well as a couple by FSBO, and the flat fee approach is well worth the expense of paying the buyer’s broker. We’ve set commissions as low as 1.5% and they’ll still show the place. It takes all the hassle out of the process and gets you the visibility you need on the local MLS. The last house we sold cost us $600 + 1.5%. It sold the day after it listed to the first showing. -D > On May 20, 2021, at 6:41 PM, Clay via Mercedes <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Seems there is a whole industry to make cash off idiots selling homes.
