Do you enjoy meeting new people and showing them your home? Are you comfortable with the ins and outs of the selling process? Do you want to save money? Or, would you rather have a qualified professional handle all of the details for you? If you are in the first group, then read on.
Sellers who are comfortable with the selling process but need a better way to market their house besides a newspaper ad have an alternative. If as a seller you are comfortable with paying a buyer's agent for bringing a qualified buyer, then the solution for you may be one of our Limited Service options listed below.
If you are comfortable working with a buyer's agent who represents the buyer as some sellers are, then a MLS-Limited Service Plan ("MLS LSP") option may be the program for you. With the MLS LSP program, you pay a one time fee to list your home in MLS and Realtor.com plus you agree to compensate the broker who brings a buyer.
With a fee-based concept, you get to choose the level of service that meets your needs. As a Seller, you will keep more in your pocket for your next home purchase; a "co-op" agent receives the same commission as with a traditional brokerage and TCAT Realty receives a fee based on the services provided. If you decide to add services at a later time, they can be contracted for on an individual basis.
Note: Local newspapers charge between $200-$300 to advertise a home for a 30 day period. If you have tried advertising yourself, did you receive significant value for your investment? Or, did you get many unqualified calls and many service provider calls?

PLEASE NOTE - The NAR (National Association of Realtors) prohibits Realtors from including sellers' contact information on Realtor.com directly because it is publicly accessible. Do not confuse Realtor.com with the local MLS. They are two separate entities. Realtor.com downloads property data from the local Board of Realtors (MLS) and makes that information available to the public on a limited basis. We list the seller as the property contact on the MLS.
