Why should I list on the MLS?
Approximately 80% of homes are sold via the MLS. The vast majority of potential buyers and buyers’ agents first go to the MLS to see available properties. Furthermore, the MLS can also be viewed via commercial websites such as Realtor.com, the web’s most popular and frequently visited real estate website. You cannot list on Realtor.com without being on the MLS.

Who will see my listing?
There are two groups of people who will see your listing on the MLS. The first is potential buyers who visit popular commercial real estate websites such as Realtor.com, move.com andJacksonville.com to name a few.  The second group of people are real estate professionals who are working with buyers looking to purchase a home.  It is completely up to you how much commission you want to offer an agent that brings you a buyer.  It can be a percentage of the contract price or even a fixed dollar amount.  We recommend a commission of 2-4%, but that is up to you.

What type of property can I list on the MLS?
You can list any type of property on the MLS including single family homes, condos, town homes, vacant land or multi-unit buildings. Once you go through the LIST NOW function, you will have an agent assigned to your listing.  They will contact you in regards to what type of home you want to list.  PLEASE NOTE: If you are listing vacant land or a multi-unit building, please send us an email and we will email you the correct listing form.

Who can list on our MLS?
Anyone in Northern Florida and Southern Georgia who is not currently registered on the MLS with another real estate agent is allowed to list with us.

How long will it take to publish my listing?
Your listing will be published and active 24-48 hours after we receive your completed MLS Listing Form and confirmed payment. Your listing will become active on all of the commercial sites within three days of its posting on the MLS. (Unfortunately, we cannot control the publishing time on the commercial sites.)

What if I want you to become my full service listing agent
If at any time during the MLS PriorityOne agreement, you want Advantage Real Estate to become your full service listing company, we will credit to you all fee's of the MLS PriorityOne when we close on your home.  In fact, if you sell your home on your own, but allow an Advantage Real Estate Agent to be your "buyers agent" on the purchase of your next home, we will credit you all fee's of the MLS PriorityOne when you close on that home.

I can’t go on the MLS, how can I see my listing?
First, we will email you a link to your official MLS listing once it has been posted. You will be able to see your listing on the commercial websites approximately three days after your listing becomes active. We recommend visiting Realtor.com, the web’s most popular real estate website.

Can I change my listing once it is published?
Yes. Once your listing is active, you will receive an email with your MLS # to review your listing. If you would like anything changed, please send us an email with any change requests. You can change your listing as often as you wish during the first 5 days.  Most plans come with additional FREE change orders.

How will MLS PriorityOne help me sell my property?
MLS PriorityOne will help you sell your property by providing the opportunity to reach approximately 80% of potential home buyers who access the MLS and our partner websites. We will also provide the necessary disclosure and sales forms necessary to sell your home. These forms should be used in the sale of your home. While MLS PriorityOne is comprised of a team of real estate professionals; please keep in mind, this service is for people who believe they can sell their home without a full service real estate agent.

Will MLS PriorityOne be listed as the real estate agent?
Yes. Essentially MLS PriorityOne is acting as your listing agent. You will see Advantage Real Estate listed as the brokerage.  In the "Private Remarks"  we will list your contact information.  This way the buyers agent can contact you directly.  Unfortunately we can not place this information in the public remarks.

Will MLS PriorityOne collect any commissions?
No! We collect absolutely ZERO COMMISSIONS (unless we bring the buyer)! The only fee you will pay to MLS PriorityOne is the one time service charge to list your property. If you sell your home and the buyer has an agent, you will pay the predetermined cooperating broker commission. For example, your home sells for $250,000 and the cooperating commission you’ve agreed to pay is 2%. The co-op commission is $5,000.  Thus, you will only be responsible for the 2% co-op commission.

Can I list my property with MLS PriorityOne AND another real estate office?
No. When listing with MLS PriorityOne you are effectively listing your property with our company with the promise that we will charge ZERO COMMISSION. If you desire to list your property with another full service agency, please send us an email so we can remove your listing.

Can I advertise with other websites and publications?
Yes. You can advertise wherever you desire. Please keep in mind to remain consistent on all of the details about your property. The majority of home buyers visit numerous sites and often times see the same property listed. If your listing does not stay consistent, you risk confusing the potential buyer.

What if a “buyer’s agent” sees my listing and has a potential buyer?
While the many of leads and sales do come through our internet partners, real estate professionals will also have access to your listing. In this case, the “buyer’s agent” will expect a commission on the sale.  It is completely up to you how much commission you want to offer an agent that brings you a buyer.  It can be a percentage of the contract price or even a fixed dollar amount.  We recommend a commission of 2-4%, but that is up to you.

Should I consult an attorney to help with my real estate transaction?
Yes. You should always consult an attorney to help with a transaction such as selling a home. There are attorneys who handle real estate exclusively who would be happy to help.

How can I pay for this service?
You can pay for this service with any major credit card via our secure website on the page or have one of our agents pick up a  personal check.

Can I cancel my listing?
Yes. You can cancel your listing anytime for any reason. Simply send us an email and we will withdrawal your property from the MLS.

Do I need to sign a contract or listing agreement in order to list my property?
Yes. In order to list property on the MLS you must sign a listing agreement. You will be asked to sign and fax this agreement back in order to complete your registration.  Of course we can pick up the signed contract from your house as well.

What do I do when I sell my home?
Once you sell your home please contact us via email or phone so we can update your listing on the MLS. Next, give yourself a pat on the back because you just sold your home hassle and potentially commission free!
