You get the best of both worlds. Individual buyers and Realtors\u00ae with buyers will know your home is for sale. Individual buyers looking for homes will see your mls listing posted on websites like: Realtor.com, Chicagotribune.com, Trulia, Zillow, Yahoo and others.<\/p>\n
Brokers will have direct access to your home information through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). They will already have pre-approved buyers that they are working with.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

When you list on the MLS you commit to paying the agent who brings you the buyer a set commission. To make sure you take full advantage of being listed on the MLS we recommend you offer a 2.5% commission to a buyers agents.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”What if there is no Buyer’s Broker in the Transaction?” icon_color=”#7cda24″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″ title_font=”Playfair Display||||||||” title_font_size=”18px” title_letter_spacing=”0.3px” body_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” body_font_size=”16px”]Then there is no % commission.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How do Buyers and Realtors\u00ae get my information or how will I be contacted?” icon_color=”#7cda24″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″ title_font=”Playfair Display||||||||” title_font_size=”18px” title_letter_spacing=”0.3px” body_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” body_font_size=”16px”]Broker\/Realtors\u00ae will have all your information available to them through their Multiple Listing Service under the showing instructions.<\/p>\n

If you were to hire an agent to sell your home you would pay 4-6% commission. That commission is normally split with the buyer who brings in the buyer.<\/p>\n
In a normal real estate transaction the buyer broker gets 2-3% commission. As long as you are offering a similar commission real estate agents will show your home.<\/p>\n
The other reason they will not boycott you is that it is illegal and they can have their license revoked. They must always be acting in the best interest of their clients. Not showing your property based on the commission you are paying us (or them) is not acting in the best interest of their clients.<\/p>\n
Furthermore if they decide not to show your listing they can possibly be engaging in price-fixing and group boycotting which violate U.S. Anti-trust laws involving both civil and criminal penalties leading to a possible 3 year jail term and heavy fines.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”How do I pay for your service?” icon_color=”#7cda24″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″ title_font=”Playfair Display||||||||” title_font_size=”18px” title_letter_spacing=”0.3px” body_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” body_font_size=”16px”]We accept all major credit cards: Visa, MasterCard, \u00a0American Express or Discover. \u00a0We also accept checks.[\/et_pb_toggle][et_pb_toggle title=”*What is your money back guarantee?” icon_color=”#7cda24″ _builder_version=”3.26.6″ title_font=”Playfair Display||||||||” title_font_size=”18px” title_letter_spacing=”0.3px” body_font=”ABeeZee||||||||” body_font_size=”16px”]If you are having difficulty selling and want to move to a traditional real estate agent we can recommend a top production broker that covers your area.<\/p>\n
