ListHomeFlatFee.com Inc. is transforming home buying and selling by announcing today that it has launched its website, ListHomeFlatFee.com, aimed at providing property owners an alternative, cost-effective way to sell their residential and commercial properties in the state of Illinois.

By listing with ListHomeFlatFee.com, sellers can save thousands of dollars at the closing table. Homeowners can get their home listed on the same database and websites that every other home is listed on without paying a real estate broker 5 to 6 percent commission.

The secret is the MLS. This stands for Multiple Listing Service. It’s the database that real estate brokers use to search listings for their buyers. It’s a proven fact that MLS-listed properties sell faster and for more money than non-MLS listed "for sale by owner" properties.

Listing brokers primarily depend on listing the property on the MLS to find a buyer and most buyers come from buyer’s brokers and from finding the property on the internet. Buyers rarely come directly from the listing broker. Let’s face it. A listing broker charging 5 to 6% commission may just put a sign on the front yard, list it on the MLS and wait for a buyer’s broker or the buyer itself to find your property.

So basically along with pricing your property correctly, the key to the door is the MLS and ListHomeFlatFee.com can help you open that door for just a small upfront flat fee as low as $199.00. With their flat fee MLS listing packages your property will receive the same online exposure that it would if you hired a top real estate broker. When ListHomeFlatFee.com lists your property on the MLS, your listing is automatically distributed to numerous local and national real estate websites, giving you increased exposure to motivated buyers.

So instead of paying a huge commission fee at closing, you only pay the buyer’s broker commission if the buyer is represented by a broker and a small upfront fee instead of the listing broker commission.

For example, let’s say you are selling a $300,000 home. If you pay a 5% commission. Typically, 2.5% would go to the buyer’s broker and 2.5% would go to the listing broker. In this example, that would total around $15,000 in commissions you would need to pay out at closing. However, with ListHomeFlatFee.com, instead of paying the traditional 2.5% to the listing broker, you now only pay a small upfront flat fee as low as $199.00. That’s a savings of approximately $7,000 in this scenario.
