    Frequently Asked Questions:
    Is this the same Multiple Listing Service (MLS) to which all area Realtors belong? Yes. All participating MLS Realtors belong to their local association of Realtors. We will place you in the proper MLS for your area with which we are affiliated.

    Will Realtors show and sell my home even though I paid a flat rate instead of paying a full 6 percent commission? Yes. The Realtor bringing in the buyer is still getting the same commission they would with a full service listing. It is only the listing agent that takes the $295. Regardless of who you listed with or what you paid, your listing will look the same as all the other listings in the MLS/MRIS.

    Do I Have To List for 6 Months? No. This is just what we offer to eliminate the relisting fee to our clients. Most homes are only on the market a few months. You always retain control of your listing and can extend or shorten the duration when you sign up; however if you wish to cancel a listing prior to 90 days before your listing expiration date, then a $250 breach of contract penalty will be paid by the seller before the listing is removed, unless the seller has military change orders. If seller wishes to list with one of our in-house agents (who can do discounted full service listings for you if you wish to go with a full service agent), the $250 beach/cancellation fee will be waived.

    How do I remove my lockbox? You have several options: Generally the buyer's agent removes the lockbox for you to return to us. However, many sellers just remove the door knob and bring the lockbox in to us to remove. Please remember, we cannot cancel a listing until lockbox and all signage have been returned and a listing withdrawal form is filled out. Lockbox deposit refunds take up to 6 weeks. If you want us to pick up the lockbox - we need two weeks notice and you forfeit your deposit.
