Why being listed in MLS is so important
  1. MLS stands for "Multiple Listing Service", and is "the real estate market".
  2. Over 90% of all properties sold in the US are as a result of MLS listing exposure.
  3. Being listed in MLS means all the local Realtors can find your home in their MLS database.
  4. Buyers can find your home on thousands of public MLS websites, where they are most likely to be searching for a home.
  5. MLS listed properties (for sale by owner or not) sell faster and for more money than non-MLS listed "for sale by owner" properties.
Why a Flat Fee MLS Listing is better than listing with a 6% Realtor
  1. You get the same MLS listing in the same Georgia MLS for a one-time low Flat Fee instead of 6%.
  2. If you sell your home without a buyer's agent involved, there is zero commission.
  3. More exposure on hundreds of national MLS websites. Many 6% Realtors limit the exposure to public websites to increase their chances of getting the entire 6% commission.

Fact: "1.1 million real estate agents in America average only six home sales per year. Each works about forty hours per sale, which amounts to 12% of the work year, or five hours per week. Most of the balance of hours is devoted to getting new business. Brokers receive a median $52,800 income yearly."

"The average couple selling the average home will need to work five weeks each – ten weeks total – to pay the commission of the agent who will work only one week on that transaction. complete report

What is "MLS"?

MLS stands for "Multiple Listing Service". Most people refer to MLS as if it were all one big database of homes. Actually there are over a thousand individual MLSs across the country; some big, some small. They are all separate from each other, so a Realtor who looks on his local MLS in Boston can't see the listings in the Miami MLS. That's why it's so important to be listed in the correct local MLS. There are many national websites, like Realtor.com, that aggregate listings from all these 1000 MLSs, and put them all on one giant website. Some information, such as commissions offered to agents and owner contact information, is only displayed on the local MLS for agents to see, and not the national public websites.

Why you need a Realtor to list your home in MLS

Only a licensed real estate broker who belongs to the MLS and pays the MLS dues and fees is able to list a property. An individual can't simply post an "ad" in MLS, like placing an ad in a newspaper. The real estate broker is also responsible for the accuracy of the listing, and keeping it current. For example, the broker can lose his MLS membership or pay heavy fines if a property is under contract or sold, but still listed as "Active" in MLS.

If you list with a typical 6% Realtor, and the property sells, you pay the whole 6%, even if the buyer is your neighbor and the Realtor didn't do anything other than put his sign in the yard and enter the listing in MLS. It gets worse - if you read the fine print in the typical 6% listing contract, you'll notice that you owe the entire commission if you want to cancel your listing early, or if you lease the home without the agent's permission! The main reason so many sellers sign such contracts is that they never read them.

3 Easy Steps to List Your Property
  1. Above choose the type of Real Estate you want to List in the MLS. 
  2. Enter general information about your property and upload pictures.
  3. Within minutes you will receive a payment notice from Greentree Realty via email ( if you don't have a PayPal account a option is given for debit or credit card payments.)   

Your property will be listed in MLS within 48hrs, but usually the same day if received early in the day.

Once the property is in MLS, it will take 2-5 days before it appears in all the other national websites, such as Realtor.com or yahoo.com. This is based on the data update cycle of when the various websites retrieve new listing information from your local MLS.
