The first thing to say about the MLS brand is that it is forever changing the traditional way that selling property happens. Normally when a property owner decides to put his property on the market he will do a quick survey of his local area and decide what he needs to do to maximize the possible selling price. This will normally involve some repainting, maybe a quick upgrading of the kitchen and bathroom (2 areas that always increase the value of a property by more than they cost), and always making sure the place is clean and if there is a garden that it is neat and tidy with the lawn mowed and flower beds clear of weeds.
Then they solicit the interest of the local realtors who will all advise on the possible selling price and, provided and agreement is reached will take their own photos and list the property on their books, websites and so on. Hopefully a client will come along and view the house, by arrangement, and make an acceptable offer and a sale agreement will be concluded. After that it all goes to notaries and mortgage companies and once it is all settled the sellers mortgage will be settled and a new Mortgage registered on the site. Out of the balance between the mortgage settlement fee and the amount the seller actually receives will be a number of fees by far the largest of which will be the commission due to the realtor.
Well MLS is changing all that.
For a start an individual with a property to sell is at liberty to list his own property on the MLS site for a small fee and then enjoy all the benefits available to normal members . These include unlimited text, Photographs including the 360 degree panoramas and virtual tours.
Google Maps and Street views, Optimizers so the ads will show on mobile devices and connections to the social media such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn. Then inclusion in the top international directories and all other of these benefits.
Next and most importantly then is the fact that MLS Websites get over 1 million visitors every month and so there is a very good chance that the property will be viewed numerous times by the many buyers who are searching for properties such as yours and in your location.
Now the benefits are manifold . Firstly MLS does not charge commission on its own. It allows the professional members to earn commission from the seller directly. Furthermore it allows a non professional to find a job as a realtor as anyone who believes they can find a buyer for any of the properties listed on any of the MLS Websites to agree to share the commission due to the whoever listed the property in the first place.
So there are a great number of advantages to listing your property on the MLS Global Websites wherever it happens to be. Join the growing number of people using this new and effective way of buying and selling property.
