of their local Board of Realtors and of the National Association of Realtors®,
who work with both buyers and sellers looking for discount real estate options.

charges a flat MLS listing fee instead of a percentage of the sale of your for sale by owner property
to LIST your property on the MLS.
Another very important difference is you retain your ' for sale by owner' status and
reserve the rights to show, sell and advertise your property yourself. If you
sell your property to a buyer not working with an agent you pay NO
COMMISSION!

home!
Are there any hidden costs with Click Your Mouse Sell Your House's flat fee MLS service?
There are no hidden costs. You pay
us the flat MLS listing fee at the time of listing. At closing, you pay the Realtor
who brought you a buyer the percentage you specified in the listing contract.
If you sell your property yourself, without the help of a realtor, you do not
owe any commission.
What is the MLS?
Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) is
the most comprehensive computerized database of homes for sale with over
millions of listings nationwide. This database is used by Realtors® to market
and promote their own listings and to cooperate with other Realtors®.
Realtors®, in turn are compensated with part of the commission.
A large portion of real estate
transactions are a result of direct MLS exposure. By having your home in MLS,
it will be exposed to thousands of local real estate agents who otherwise would not have known that your property was for sale and would not have shown it.
This is the same MLS used by traditional brokers who charge a 6 percent
commission.
Who handles the negotiation with the
flat fee MLS service?
If you would like to represent yourself for the flat fee, you will
negotiate the offer directly with the buyer or buyers real estate agent.
If you would like Heart of Texas Realty, LLC to represent you in the sale
of your home beyond the consultation included in the package you purchased we
will:
- Negotiate the offer
- Prepare the contract
- Respond with any counteroffers
- Review the home inspection
- Calculate the seller's net sheet
- Schedule the closing
- Review the HUD-settlement statement
All for an additional 1% commission of the sales price paid at the
closing. This discount real estate service is available whether you find the buyer yourself or
if there is another agent involved.
We can really sell our home ourselves?
Yes, you can! With
ClickYourMouseSellYourHouse.com; Heart of Texas Realty, LLC, you retain your
‘for sale by owner’ status. You reserve the right
to show, sell and advertise the property yourself as a For Sale By Owner or
FSBO as they are more commonly referred to. Remember, if you sell your property to a buyer not working with an agent
you pay NO COMMISSION!
Why will agents show my property if I am only paying 2-3% commission?
Buyer's agents search the MLS
exclusively to locate properties that match their buyer’s criteria. When an
agent matches their buyer’s criteria to your property that you have listed with our flat fee MLS service, they will see that there is a commission payable for
the sale of your for sale by owner property. This commission will be the motivation for the real
estate agent to direct their buyers to your property, which is equal to a full commission.
