What is FSBO in Illinois

About Flat Fee MLS in Illinois

Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a real estate database where all the properties available for purchase are listed. There are more than 700 MLSs in the United States and many local Illinois MLSs are a part of that collection. Only licensed real estate agents have access to this database. These real estate agents pay a membership fee to Realtor.com, which acts as a custodian of all these 700 MLSs and the properties listed on them.
This means that only a licensed real estate broker or agent, who is a member of MLS in Illinois, can list your house on the Illinois MLS. However, this listing agent will cost you 2%-3% of your home sale price and Flat Fee Realtors will do it for a flat fee instead of a percentage of your home sale price. Instead of choosing flat rate realtors for a flat rate MLS listing, you could go with a Flat Fee MLS listing service.

Houzeo is one of the best Flat Fee MLS listing services in Illinois providing –

Why List on MLS Illinois with a Flat Fee MLS Listing Service?

You should opt for listing on the MLS for a flat fee because –

Exposure 
88% of the buyer agents search the MLS to look for properties for their clients. A flat fee MLS listing in Illinois will give your listing maximum exposure to these buyer agents and their buyers.

Most local MLSs, including MLS Illinois, syndicate your listing to top real estate websites like Zillow, Trulia, Redfin, and Realtor.com. This gives you additional exposure and increases the chances of selling your home quickly.

Savings 
The biggest benefit of a Flat Fee MLS Listing Service is you save up to 6% on agent commissions. Flat Fee MLS eliminates the need for a full-service real estate agent to list your property. With a Flat Fee MLS Illinois package, you get to list on MLS without a realtor and save 3% on listing agent commissions right away.

If you find a buyer who is not represented by an agent, you can save another 3% in buyer agent commissions through a flat fee listing in Illinois.

Convenience
With Illinois Flat Fee MLS Listing Companies like Houzeo.com, you get to list your property on the MLS without having to go to traditional or flat fee real estate brokers.

The amazing tech features provided by Houzeo.com enable you to list within minutes, make changes to your listing quickly and easily, manage showings online, and manage offers received on your home online.

This saves you the hassle of coordinating with a real estate broker and dealing with manual paperwork. It is, therefore, beneficial to go for an MLS listing without a Realtor.

What is For Sale by Owner (FSBO) in Illinois?

For Sale by Owner (FSBO), also pronounced as “fizbo” in real estate agents’ jargon, is a home selling process where a seller doesn’t hire a real estate broker to sell their home and sell it by themselves.
These sellers put a “FOR SALE BY OWNER” sign in their yard to show the buyers that their home is on sale. However, relying on a yard sign is not enough. If your FSBO yard sign is the only marketing medium for the sale of your house, you will eventually end up hiring a listing agent to make the sale. This will not only cost you time but also money.
This is where a Flat Fee MLS Illinois Listing Service can be a lifesaver for you. Houzeo can list your home on the MLS Illinois for a flat fee and give it all the exposure needed to sell your home quickly and to the right buyer.
