Flat Fee MLS Provides Homeowners Commission-Free Options

Sept. 6, 2008 - PRLog -- Urban Living Realty, based in Baltimore Maryland provides owners with a Flat Fee MLS service called “Simply List” with the added benefit of a-la-carte options.  Visionary Nishika Jones, a Maryland real estate broker helps owners eliminate the commission side of a real estate home listing for a $397 flat fee rate to market your home in Maryland’s Multiple Listing Service (MLS).  “This service enables homeowners to retain control of the selling process but also provides MLS and online exposure. The listing is also published on several real estate websites such as Realtor.com, Homesdatabase.com and Washingtonpost.com” explains Nishika Jones, broker of Urban Living Realty.

While certainly not new, innovative techniques to help homeowners market and sell their homes have taken a rising interest upon learning how much equity you can walk away with.  

Traditionally to sell your home you had to sign an exclusive contract with a real estate agent and give up a hefty 6% fee.  With the emergence of flat fee sales, DIY (do-it-yourself) is gaining popularity.

A sophisticated supplementary benefit of Urban Living Realty’s flat fee service are the a-la-carte options offered such as, professional representation at closing, virtual tours, contract negotiations and more to help you sort through all the fine print.

“Just about every service a traditional realtor offers, Urban Living Realty can provide at a more affordable price and your chances of selling your home are greatly increased by passing the commission savings on to buyers” added Ms. Jones.

Urban Living Realty empowers homeowners to sell their properties with the ability to advertise and market their home without sharing the equity.  You do the math; 6% of your home’s selling price or $397 flat fee?
