    Getting a Home Listed in MLS Without an Agent

    One of the most powerful vehicles for selling a home is the multiple listing service or MLS for short. Essentially, the MLS is the real estate marketplace for the vast majority of properties that get listed for sale. When a new home is put on the market through MLS is is disseminated to hundreds of other websites that buyers can view these properties.

    In fact, some of the most visited homes for sale that get their information from the multiple listing service include Realtor.com, Zillow, and Trulia. I like to call these website the big three in real estate because more consumers looking to purchase real estate visit them than any other.

    One of the marketing tools that separate real estate agents from consumers is the MLS. If you want to sell your home for sale by owner it is very difficult to be successful without having the backing of the thousands of real estate agents that may have buyer clients. One way around this, however, is getting your home listed as a for sale by owner in MLS. Lots of homeowners search online to see if this is even possible and it is!

    In the article at Maximum Real Estate Exposure, you will see the pros and cons of listing your house as an entry only flat fee MLS listing. On the surface it may sound awesome to get your home listed in MLS but is it really as good as it sounds? Frankly, not really. While the MLS is a powerful tool to sell your home, as a for sale by owner, many forget there is more to a home sale than finding the buyer.

    In the grand scheme of selling a home, finding the buyer is just the start of the process. There are a whole slew of things a real estate agent does to ensure you will not only get top dollar for your home but make it to the closing table. Sometimes paying an agent works out to better in the long run. You may not save the money you thought you would as an entry only listing.

    Make sure you read the article above so that you have a better understanding of exactly what a real estate agent will do for you.
