Our Plans are for Selling or Renting your Home.
We recommend 3% commission for Homes that are Listed for Sale.
Rentals should offer 25 - 50% of the first month's rent.
The more offered - the greater chance of a quicker transaction.
This is an agent's livelihood.
Just like anyone that works for someone - the more money offered - the harder the agent will work to sell your listing.
Have your Flat Fee Listing stand out from all the other Homes For Sale in the Realtor MLS.
Take the time to take nice, bright pictures of your home.
Photos are most important to a buyer.
Showcase every room in your home.
Display several outside photos as well the entire yard & street views.
Buyers want pictures otherwise they think something is wrong with your home - thus the reason you are not showing all pictures.
How many photos are allowed in your MLS?
Listing term depends on your listing plan.
You may cancel listing at anytime, for any reason, unless your home is under contract.
The MLS does not allow us to cancel, if a property is under contract.
Until Sold is only available in BRIGHT, REIN, CVR, WAAR, CBRAR & CAAR MLS areas.
12 Months is offered for other MLS areas with "Full Service" Plan.
If you have any rented signs or lockbox, they must be returned PRIOR to withdrawing your listing (by appt only).
We offer home sellers the BEST OF BOTH WORLDS!! We place your home on the #1 FSBO Site in Virginia since 1994 so hopefully you will sell and not pay ANY commission.
We also place your home in the Realtor MLS through our discount real estate brokerage. You only pay an agent the commission if they bring in the buyer.
If the buyer contacts you direct and you show the home and they buy the home - you pay ZERO Commission if they don't have an agent.
We are members of the:
NAR (National Association of REALTORS®),
the Virginia Real Estate Commission,
and the local MLS boards.
We list you in your local MLS.
A commission must be paid to the buyer agent to be listed in the MLS.
The only way a home seller can get on realtor.com is the be listed with a REALTOR® on the MLS.
All our listings will feed your home for sale from the MLS onto realtor.com.
Once you are on the Realtor MLS, your listing will automatically feed and download to Zillow, Redfin & Trulia, etc.
Downloading to all mls-fed web sites is a function of the MLS in your area.
If your MLS listing is correct but Zillow or any other website is not - then the website did not feed correctly.

How does Showing Service work?
Each MLS system is different but the agent can either set up the appt online while looking at your listing in the Realtor MLS or they can call and set it up the showing appointment for your home for sale with a Showing Time Agent. Showing Time will alert you of the scheduled showing per your original instructions. This simplifies the process for the agent and for you. Showing Time verifys they are an agent as well.
