Secrets Realtors® “Don’t want you to know about”

Secret #1: The M.L.S. is the “Key to the door”. Most homes sell from being in the M.L.S. (Multiple Listing Service). The M.L.S. is the database all of the local agents use to search for homes. Once your home is “Listed” in the M.L.S. there’s not much more a great agent can do to sell it.

Secret #2: “I feel more comfortable going with a local agent”. Is it worth 3% of your equity to “Feel comfortable”? Again, once you’re input into the Multiple Listing Service all the other agents in the office know your home is listed. So do the other thousands of agents that are members of the M.L.S. too. NOTE: After you go in the M.L.S., your listing automatically goes to

Secret #3: Agents will “Push” my listing! How? The agent can’t go door to door to find a buyer. All of the other agents in the office will know you’re listed when they do a “Search” in the M.L.S. There is no way to “Push” a listing. That agent is sitting back waiting for an offer to earn the easiest 3% they’ll ever make! The agent can do direct mail or other advertising but it only works 3% to 5% of the time. You can advertise too and hold your own open houses.

Secret #4: Agents will never sign a contract with you telling you what else they’ll do after they list you in the M.L.S. Agents will tell you all the great things they’ll do for you but will they put anything in writing? No! What are all of those other things anyway? Running an ad? Sending some direct mail? Even if they run an ad with your home, the odds of someone calling on your home AND buying are remote. Running ads is done so primarily to obtain buyer leads for that agent!

Secret #5: I need a local agent who knows the area well. Sure, they could know every road and home in the area. That has nothing to do with knowing where the buyers are though. Remember, once they list you, all the other agents and their buyers see your home. Your agent may sell less than 1 in 10 of his / her listings so you’ve just wasted 3% of your equity. There is a certain amount of “Comfort” listing locally. If you think this through though it makes no sense unless the agent can demonstrate and sign a contract with you telling you what they’re going to do for all that commission you’re going to pay them.

Secret #6: Most agents know they charge too much. Many agents have told us they’ve been overpaid for years and laugh about it! How many hours does an agent spend on your listing? Input (by secretary), process upon offer, maybe 3. Marketing? Your hard earned equity deserves a better choice.

About the broker, Jeff Kermath I’ve been a broker for over 20 years. I spent years in traditional offices only to realize that after the secretary entered the sellers home in the M.L.S. little was or even could be done to find a buyer! With thousands of agents in the M.L.S. and all of their buyers, I knew the odds were that the buyer would come from one of them. We just hoped it would sell and make an easy 3%! I started doing “Flat Fee M.L.S.” listings because most home sellers said, “I just want to get in the M.L.S.”. With this in mind we opened Amerisell and charged a small, up front fee to input and maintain the listing. If you as owner sell without an agent, there are no other fees! If an agent brings you the buyer then pay them their half. A fair arrangement. You save half less our fee worst case scenario!
