Flat Fee Facts

Save Big. Sacrifice Nothing.

The MLS is the most effective and powerful way to advertise and sell your home. In fact, 90% of home buyers search MLS listings on the Internet to find their next home. You have a choice. You can pay a big fat commission based on the sale price of your home to list on MLS or you can pay a low fixed flat fee for the exact same listing and service. Home Avenue offers all the same marketing, MLS exposure, local and national web portals and support that commission based brokers do at a fraction of the cost. Home Avenue customers on average sell for more money in less time than the average for traditional commission based brokers. (Source: Minnesota Realtor)

Traditional Agent/Broker Myths

Don’t Believe the Traditional Agent/Broker Hype

Traditional agents/brokers livelihood depends on charging a high commission to list your home. They will say anything to persuade you to pay a big fat listing commission and scare you away from selling the flat fee way. Below are some of the more common misconceptions.

MYTH: Commission-based listing agents sell their own listings.
FACT: Listing agents sell very few of their own listings. They simply post your home on MLS and wait for an agent with another broker to procure the buyer. Why pay a big commission to a listing agent when they generally do not procure the buyer?
MYTH: Commission-based agents invest more in marketing your home.
FACT: Agents know that MLS is the best vehicle to advertise your property to the maximum number of buyers. Agents pay nothing to list your home on MLS. Most agents use their hefty commissions to market themselves via billboards, radio and internet than they do on marketing their listings.
MYTH: Statistics show that flat fee sellers net less money because they do not price the home correctly.
FACT: In fact the opposite is true. Our flat fee clients net thousands more than homeowners who pay inflated commissions to a traditional agent. Our customers educate themselves and know they can get free pricing advice in the marketplace or from our licensed flat fee Realtors. This is simply a scare tactic to try to convince you that you should pay a big fat commission to a traditional commission based agent.
MYTH: No one should sell a home for a low flat fee due to the complexity of the transaction.
FACT: 90% of buyers use the internet to search and make appointments to view homes, making finding a buyer for your home easier than ever. It is true that the Purchase Agreement / Addendums are complex forms and should be drafted by an experienced professional. That’s why HomeAvenue provides optional paperwork assistance to our For Sale By Owner customers and full transaction support to our Realtor Assisted clients. Why pay a 6% commission for a traditional agent to draft a Purchase Agreement?
