5 Reasons to work with a Flat-Fee Real Estate Broker
Selling your house For Sale by Owner is a growing trend. The boom of Real Estate technology has placed market information in the hands of consumers, so consumers are growing more and more confident on market conditions and less and less willing to part with the traditional 6% sales commission to real estate agents. For Sale by Owner is an option, but Flat-Fee Brokers can deliver more Real Estate agent support when you need it. More importantly the flat fee brokers give you access to the MLS, Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Redfin, local brokerage sites and numerous others to help sell your house faster and for more money than For Sale by Owner sites.
Here are the top five reasons sellers are choosing Flat-Fee Brokers.
1. Low Cost
The number one reason sellers choose to list with a flat-fee broker is to save money. Flat fee brokers are less expensive than a full-rate Realtor that is charging between 5-6% of the sales price.
The fee you pay a flat-rate broker will vary. Falaya provides their flat fee listings starting at $399. The listing is sent the MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia, Redfin, local brokerage sites and many more.

2. Paying for only what you need
When you pay for a full time a real estate agent, you’re paying for a package of services that you may never use or even need. The commission you pay goes towards pricing, printing marketing materials, placing a lockbox, for sale sign, putting your house on the major sites, open houses, managing showings, coordinating the closing, negotiating the purchase agreement and many more services that you may end up not using.
