Flat Rate MLS Listings in Atlanta GA

April 27, 2011 - PRLog -- With homeowner's equity dropping like a rock, a homeowner who has to sell their home needs to find innovative ways to save whatever equity they have left.  Paying a large commission to a listing broker has traditionally been the only option, but now becoming more and more prevalent in our society is the innovative flat rate MLS listing.

There are several flat rate MLS listing services, but what a homeowner needs to look for is the service provider who offers full MLS, internet, virtual tour, secure lockbox, and feedback systems - these are an absolute necessity.  "Watch out for the listing services that do nothing but add your listing to the MLS and possibly give you a sign, there is still more service required than that, you will definitely be wasting your money.  Look for a flat rate MLS listing provider who will handle the negotiation and be available to answer questions if problems arise", says Lisa Parkins of Solid Source Realty, GA - leader of Equity Savers of Georgia.

Listings agents traditionally had to hold real estate agent caravan luncheons, place costly ads in newspapers and real estate magazines, and hold multiple open houses.  With the ease and availability of complete and accurate listing data on the internet, agent caravans, newspaper ads and real estate magazines are a thing of the past creating a large savings of advertising dollars that listing agents were expending.  With the additional feature of the panoramic virtual tour, open houses have also all but disappeared, along with that advertising and time expense.  However, this windfall never rolled down to the seller, until now.

For one low flat fee a seller can have all of the advertising necessary to find a buyer who is represented by a real estate agent, and if their buyer ends up being unrepresented, the entire commission is saved.  This may be the biggest win win situation for homeowners since 2006.
