How Flat Fee Brokerage Works - Omaha NE

Our flat fee program is unique in that it is structured to work. Most programs are designed to get you on the Multiple Listing Service for an upfront fee and that is it. We built our program to not only get you on the Multiple Listing Service, but get your house shown and sold. In addition to working, we made it easy for you with detailed instructions, checklists and easy to complete documents.

 

How our Flat Fee Program works:

• We list the house on the MLS, provide guidance when needed.
• Same MLS as 6% - 8% agents use but for a lot less money.
• Your listing looks the same as the other listings.
• Once on the MLS you take over the selling functions (Showcase Plan)
• With the Full Service plan we do it all, same service others pay 6% - 8% for.
• Sell BY OWNER and pay no buyer agent commission.
• Buyer agents bring buyers and you offer to pay them.
• Buyer agent commission rates run 2.4% - 3.0% (3% on Showcase listings and 2.4% on Full Service listings).
• The commission is stated on the MLS, so agents know they are being fully compensated for selling your house.

Note: These programs are only available for online enrollment. They are NOT available if one of our agents has done an onsite evaluation or market analysis.

Set Agent Appointments Using a Showing Service

• We provide this convenient service at no charge.
• Showings are professionally scheduled by ShowingTime.
• ShowingTime is the industry standard and used by agents to set appointments to show properties.
• It is easy and convenient for buyers agents.
• Agents are comfortable with the process.
• Helps you minimize contact with agents (very important).

When an agent wants to show a property they call ShowingTime or request the appointment using their online dashboard. ShowingTime then calls, texts or emails the property owner for approval. Once the property owner approves the showing, they confirm it with the agent and the appointment is set! ShowingTime then gives the agent showing instructions (lock box codes or any other showing instructions). If the property is vacant and the owner prefers not to be bothered with scheduling, the showing service can set the showings in the background.

ShowingTime verifies that an agent setting an appointment is an agent and not just a random person. The showing service is only for agents and not for individuals. Individuals will call you directly.

After each showing, ShowingTime will automatically e-mail the showing agent and the agent can post feedback on your property. We will email you the feedback we receive. Not all agents provide feedback even though we send a request 3 times.
