- If you are leaving the area and need somebody to show, market & sell your house.

- If you want complete paperwork assistance and a broker to oversee your deal.
- If you are uncomfortable showing & selling your own property.
I thought you were FSBO - why are you offering MLS?
Since 1996, we are KC's leading private-sale company and over 88% of our FSBO customers are successful selling their property by owner, without the MLS.
Our sister real estate company was formed in 1999 to assist sellers with a staff of licensed agents and brokers. This is a full-service, licensed real estate company in both KS and MO. We offer a wide variety of MLS options for our customers who wish to participate.
Beware of hidden fees and tricks by discount MLS listing brokers. Unlike many of these so-called discount brokers, with our MLS option, you retain your right to continue to sell it yourself and we provide non-stop color exposure directly to thousands of active buyers (they offer no tangible advertising exposure). We also include the paperwork (they charge for it) and we save you hundreds at closing (they don't offer this) and we place you on several internet sites (they place you on one or two, only).
We have over 12 years of experience helping KC area buyers and sellers save MILLIONS!
We have assisted over 23,000 KC area buyers and sellers since 1996. (experience counts)
We have retail FSBO stores for all your FSBO needs. (due to our customer's success, more opening soon)
We conduct informative weekly "How To Sell Your Own Home Seminars".
What is the MLS?
The MLS is the Heartland Multiple Listing Service. It is a listing
service that KC area real estate agents and brokers use to "list" their properties for sale. All MLS member real estate brokers can list their
homes for sale and make them available to other agents to sell. The
MLS is not available to the public, however, some information and
photos may be on some privately owned internet sites (such as agent sites).
Can I be FSBO and on the MLS?
There is no shortage of discount real estate brokers who would be more than happy to list your FSBO property on the MLS for a fast buck. But be careful!
When you, or anyone, goes on the MLS you must agree to pay a commission to a buyer’s agent – which can be any amount you want to pay. In addition, you must pay a listing broker a commission to put you on the MLS. These listing brokers will put their phone number on the MLS in an effort to attract buyers and then sell them a different house, not yours! You are required to pay for all advertising; they will not advertise your property. Most have additional fees if you want them to prepare the paperwork for you.
Also, keep in mind that if a buyer’s agent makes an offer, they are rarely at full price, most are very low offers. A buyer’s agent is working for the buyer and trying to get them the lowest possible price. Plus, a buyer’s agent will want you to purchase a warranty for their buyer and after the buyer’s inspections, you can expect the buyer’s agent to ask you to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars for repairs!
WARNING! Most discounted MLS listings are not available for buyers to view on most large KC area real estate firm internet sites, so do not assume you are getting any “extra” exposure. These sites only accept and post the higher commission listed properties in their attempt to discourage buyers and sellers from using discounted MLS. However, the U.S. Justice Department's price fixing division successfully sued the NAR (National Association of Realtors) and now they have until June 30, 2006 to list ALL MLS listings on their site, not just the high commission ones. UPDATE: They have allowed agents to only post high commission listings on their private sites. Do not be fooled into believing that their web site has all agent listed properties.
