Austin Residential Properties - Flat-Fee Listings and For Sale By Owner Plus (FSBO+) Program

SPECIALIZING IN EXECUTIVE HOMES, DOWNTOWN LIVING AND LAKEFRONT PROPERTIES

Flat Fee MLS Listings and For Sale By Owner Plus (FSBO+) Program - Starting at $499

Our broker has belonged to the Austin Board of Realtors since 1982 and we've seen it all. We've sold and leased a range of properties across town, from million-dollar showcase homes to utilitarian rental properties. Some property owners require a lot of marketing, negotiations and sales support, while some houses sell and lease so quickly that homeowners could virtually have done it themselves. And we want to help those independent sellers and landlords get maximum exposure with minimum transaction costs. Selling your home in Austin can often cost up to 6% of the sales price of your home. But it doesn't have to cost this much if you use our flat-fee listing service. With our For Sale By Owner Plus (FSBO+) Program, we offer you a less expensive way to list your home in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) of the Austin Board of Realtors and to make your house discoverable across all of the key online real estate search sites in the nation.

In this competitive market and tough economy, every little home selling or leasing advantage counts. Therefore, we recommend using the money you save with a flat-fee listing to offer a better price on your home, improve your property so that it will sell or lease faster, or offer a bonus to buyers' agents and tenant reps to push your property to their clients.

FEES FOR OTHER AGENTS:

To keep buyers' agents excited about selling your home, we recommend you choose our flat-fee listing service then offer buyers' agents 3% when they bring you a buyer (but you can reduce that to any amount you choose). We also recommend paying 20-40% of your monthly lease price to tenant reps (but again, you can reduce or increase that to affect agent motivation). We will advertise these amounts in MLS and owners will be legally required to pay the other agent who brings you a buyer or a tenant off of the MLS listing.

ADDITIONAL MARKETING SUPPORT:

If you need additional marketing support, we can help with that, too. For an additional fee, we can send you a professional photographer, create a flyer for you, make you a virtual tour, launch a text messaging or QR code campaign, make you a yard sign and provide you with a lockbox to facilitate showings. And if you need help negotiating an offer, we have a seller support team consisting of a Texas real estate broker with 30 years of experience and a licensed agent with an M.B.A. from Harvard Business School who will help negotiate your deal and handle the often complex paperwork for an additional fee.
