I am Keith Gordon, broker for Tampa flat fee MLS listing service ADDvantage®. This time of year the most popular question asked by sellers is when is the best time to list in the MLS? You want your MLS listing to be seen as “fresh” to the Realtors® but you don’t want to miss showing opportunities. The best answer to this question is “sellers have no control over when your buyer is going make you that offer that creates a deal.”

Like fishing, if you have no bait in the water you have no chance of catching your dinner. At ADDvantage®, we believe the best time to market your Tampa is everyday. Buyers will find their way through our endless array of Internet Marketing in google, craigslist, Vast, Homes.com, Realtor.com, MSN, AOL, Trulia and hundreds more sites.

Once the buyer prospect finds your home, we guarantee we will not miss an email request for a showing or a phone call. ADDvantage® is the only Florida discount MLS broker that answers their phone 12 hours a day 7 days a week. For that matter, no real estate company offers our level of phone support.

We have answered over 3,107 calls live over the past 12 months for our flat fee MLS Florida clients and 1,047 of those calls were answered after-hours. If the call can be converted into a showing, ADDvantage® will do it. We sell more Tampa homes as a result.

Unlike other industries where sales people are held accountable by their managers, Realtors® have no managers. They are 100% independent contractors. If they don’t answer their phone, the seller client misses a showing and they’ll never know it. This will never happen at ADDvantage®.

We have been through challenging markets since 2006. 2009 is no different. We are selling 26% of our Tampa flat fee MLS listed homes with an average “days on market” of 117 days.

This result would not be possible without our 8:00am-8:00pm 7 day a week live support.

List flat fee with the most reliable discount MLS broker in Florida…ADDvantage®.

Flat Fee MLS Tampa Home Warranty Offers By Owners Free Marketing

ADDvantage, a Tampa based flat fee MLS listing service, now offers by owner MLS sellers home warranties through Old Republic.

Listing in the MLS flat fee is growing more popular every day and ADDvantage is leading the way to create new marketing ideas that help sell listings faster. By offering a home warranty to buyers, a flat fee MLS Tampa homeowner will garner more attention to their MLS listing without paying for the home warranty premium until that property closes. The cost is about $400.

This is one of those situations where it is better to reap the benefits now for an item that you will likely be paying for anyway in the future. That is of course, if you sell. And if you don’t, it’s free!

Most buyer’s agents in Tampa will request that the seller purchase a home warranty and make this request when they presenting an offer. By advertising in the MLS and other FSBO websites that your home comes with a warranty, it conveys the message that your home has more value.

According to a Gallup poll, 79% of both buyers and sellers rate home warranties as one of the most important considerations when buying or selling a home.

The ADDvantage Real Estate Network offers 4 flat fee MLS listing plans in Tampa.

Call us anytime…We are here 8:00am-8:00pm 7 days a week. 1-877-232-9695.

Is it Important to List in the MLS with Tampa Flat Fee MLS Listing Service That Guarantees to Answer Their Phone 7 days a week?

If 2,900 Realtor calls or buyers requests for showings went unanswered over a period of 12 months would that hurt your chances of selling your Tampa home?

At ADDvantage, we have answered 2,900 calls live over the past year for our Florida flat fee MLS clients. 1,000 of these calls have come after-hours. Every single call was handled professionally, recorded in our seller’s account, an email sent to our seller, a link sent to the interested party to your Tampa MLS listing at ADDvantage and a detailed description of the call was included in that email.

If the caller was a Realtor, we get their Florida real estate license number confirming they are truly Realtors and send them permission by email to deal directly with you. We include your phone numbers just in case they miss place them. If a seller chooses ADDvantage Plus, our contract-to-close plan, we do not send permission to Realtors to deal with the seller because we represent sellers in this hybrid-full-service flat fee plan.

This 8:00am-8:00pm 7 days a week phone concierge service at ADDvantage is guaranteed in our ADDvantage flat fee MLS Listing Agreement. It is a part of our service commitment to all our flat fee MLS sellers. This is also one of the reasons why we charge a bit more for a listing in the MLS with ADDvantage.

Paying attention to the phone ethic is a critical detail to being successful selling by owner MLS in Florida. The flat fee MLS broker is the gatekeeper of sales leads for the by owner MLS seller. I know that most flat fee websites say all leads and calls comes right to you so having great phone support is unnecessary. Well, they are misleading the public because they can’t and won’t commit to any posted or guaranteed hours of phone support. Truth…flat fee MLS seller’s phone numbers are published in the MLS under Realtor remarks. But, the listing broker of record (ADDvantage or whoever is listing the property in the MLS) phone number is also listed in the MLS. Since 1913, Realtors, by a code of ethics, have always called this listing broker to get showing instructions and negotiate all offers. Realtors, by this same code, cannot deal directly with the seller without the expressed permission from the listing broker. This is why the listing broker receives so many calls from Realtors. It is also the reason why ADDvantage gives Realtors our expressed permission in an email that they can deal directly with our seller clients.

In Realtor.com, the biggest real estate website in the word, the sellers contact information is not permitted. All these buyer leads go to the listing broker. Make sure the listing agreement that you sign with a flat fee broker clearly states that all buyer leads belong to the seller, not the broker.

When you list flat rate MLS through ADDvantage, all buyer leads are yours to work so you can sell ‘by owner’ and not pay any commission. If a Realtor sells your home, you pay just that Realtor a commission which you establish during the sign up process. Typically, flat fee MLS sellers offer between 2-3%.

Some by owner MLS sellers offer more commissions to Realtors (buyer agents) to garner more attention. We offer a flat fee listing program called Street Smart ADDvantage that sends 12,000 emails to all Tampa Bay Realtors twice a month informing them of your higher than average commission. The Street Smart ADDvantage eblast is Florida best-read Realtor-to-Realtor email.

Our basic flat fee MLS listing program is $349 for a 9 month listing in any Florida MLS. Street Smart ADDvantage at $599 and ADDvantage Plus cost $799 and $500 at close. ADDvantage Plus, our contract-to-close plan, includes Street Smart Eblast marketing as long as you offer a 4% buyer’s agent commission.

Call us anytime, 1-877-232-9695
