What is the MLS?
|
|
MLS stands for "Multiple Listing
Service". There are roughly 900 MLS boards
across the U.S.Each board is owned and operated by the
Realtor Association in each area. Under this arrangement,
each member broker is allowed to share listings with
other members so that greater exposure is obtained and
a greater chance a sale will result. Only licensed
brokerages and agents who belong to the state and National
Association of Realtors are allowed to enter listings
into the MLS. The MLS is the primary tool for Realtors
to locate the right properties for their buyers.
|
|
With the rapid advancement of the
internet, it has become easier for anyone to view MLS
listings through IDX integration. With IDX integration,
brokerages across the state as well as many other online
search engines and real estate portals are able to integrate
the MLS into their websites and allow all visitors to
search the home listings within it.

Your listing will be entered into
the MLS within 24 hours after receipt of payment for
your listing. Immediately after Get
Sold MLS Realty lists your property
in the MLS, you will receive an email with a link to
view your listing.
|
| Your listing should appear in Realtor.com
48-72 hours after it is entered into the MLS. |

Unlike other Flat-Fee
providers we do not limit your pictures to 1 or 6. Instead,
Get Sold MLS will
upload as many pictures as allowed by the MLS in your
area. This could be 8, 10, or 16 depending on your
local MLS system. However, Realtor.com showcase
listings will allow up to 25 pictures, and we will gladly
upload them all for you! Get MORE with GET SOLD!!!

We will design your property website
and publish it on the internet within 48 hours after
you complete your order. We will send you an email
with the link to your site. (Which would be hard not
to remember because your website address is usually
your street address dot com) The link to your site will
also be added to your MLS listing, and then to your
Realtor.com listing when your listing becomes active
there. (48-72 hours)
|
If you have chosen the Premium
Package your Realtor.com listing will have enhancements,
one of which is a spinning house icon called a "FEATURED
TOUR". When prospective buyers click on this icon,
they will be able to view your Property Website.
Photos are the #1 feature buyers look for in a property
listing. With up to 100 pictures and even video
of your home, (there are many more features!) buyers
will surely not forget your listing! |

Yes! Agents will be happy to
show your home if it is priced properly and if they
are offered a competitive commission of 2.5 % - 4% or
more.

Pricing your property is extremely
important in order to sell quickly. The #1 reason
listings do not sell is because they were overpriced.
At the same time, you don't want to under price your
home and sell yourself short. The price of your
home is best determined by recent closed sales of similar
homes in your neighborhood or in a neighborhood near
and similar to yours. Homes may vary drastically
even within the same neighborhood. Some homes have
been maintained better than others, have different features
or upgrades and have varying layouts and sizes, so the
comparable sales should be chosen carefully.
Get Sold MLS will prepare a Comparable
Market Analysis for your home to help you determine
your asking price based on active, closed and pending
properties in your neighborhood. The
Comparable Market Analysis is available at checkout
for $25 or you may order one separately by visiting
the Homepage. A
Comparable Market Analysis is included in the Virtual
Realtor Listing Plan
