FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is Realtor.com?
  
                                                                                                       
It is the official Internet site for the National Association of Realtors.  Five times per week, Realtor.com updates its listings from the MLS.  When you post on the MLS, thousands of potential buyers will see your property on Realtor.com.  They will also be directed to Realtor.com from many major web portals such as AOL and Yahoo.com.


How can U$A FLAT FEE MLS LISTINGS save you money in the sales process?

Until recently, the only way to post your property on the MLS Listings service was to post it via a licensed realtor.  That means sellers like you had to pay a huge listing commission (typically 6%) just to get your property listed on the MLS listings.  Thanks to recent changes in regulations, you can now save thousands of dollars--and get excellent results--by using U$A FLAT FEE to post on the MLS listings.


If I do not hire a Realtor to list my home, will other Realtors still show my home to potential buyers? 

Yes, yes, and yes! Realtors will be glad to show your home to buyers, since you are offering a selling commission whether you post your listing via a seller's Realtor or on U$A FLAT FEE.  Indeed, most Realtors prefer to deal directly with you, the seller, so they will be glad you posted on U$A FLAT FEE.


Who will Realtors telephone about showing my home to potential buyers?

They will call you directly to schedule a convenient showing of your home.  We will post your listing instructions on the MLS, including your name and contact phone number.  Or, if you prefer, Realtors can show your home by using our lockbox program.


What is the U$A FLAT FEE lockbox program?

A lockbox  is a device that stores a key to your home.  Our lockbox program is designed for the times you need to be away from home, yet want your home to remain available for viewings.  Your lockbox will only be accessible to you and a licensed Realtor.

A Comparative Market Analysis is free once you sign up for one of our listing plans.


What happens when I receive an offer on my home?

When you receive an offer, make sure you obtain it in writing.  It is also wise to have a real estate attorney review the offer before you sign it, since it is a legally binding agreement.  Once both parties have signed the contract, you must fax it to the corporate office of
U$A FLAT FEE within 24 hours.  


Do I have to pay any commission if my home sells via the MLS?

If a licensed Realtor brings you the client who buys your home, that Realtor will be due the "selling commission" (usually 2.5%-3% of the sale).  However, by using U$A FLAT FEE, you will have saved yourself the listing commission a Realtor would have charged to list your home, thereby avoiding at least one large commission fee.

What if I sell my home directly to a buyer, without the help of any licensed Realtor?

If you sell your home to a buyer who has found it without the help of a Realtor, you will avoid paying commissions to both a listing Realtor and a buyer's Realtor.  Your only cost will be U$A FLAT FEE's initial, one time listing fee.


How long before my home is posted on MLS and Realtor.com?

Within 24 hours of acceptance, your home will be listed on the MLS.  Within 72 hours (maximum), it will be posted on Realtor.com.  Your listing will be available to thousands of realtors and their buyers, all within a few days.
