This is your opportunity to market your home to over 45,000 highly qualified and trained real estate professionals and yet still retain the right to sell by owner. Why hope that your ad or sign might be noticed by a potential buyer? When you allow the professional Realtors at 4 Sale Realty, Inc. to put your home on the MLS, you immediately have access to over 45,000 professionals whose job it is to connect buyers and sellers. Also, when your house is on the MLS system, it is automatically listed on several top web sites including, but not limited to: Realtor.com, DailyHerald.com, ChicagoTribune.com, and well over 1000 local real estate company web sites. This is the same MLS system that your house would be listed on if you were to sell your home with a conventional, brand name, real estate agent.
We understand that you, as an owner, know your house better than anyone else. You have the pride of ownership that no outside salesperson can convey. So, our company is offering you the opportunity to continue doing everything that you are doing right now including: answering your own phone, scheduling your own appointments, opening your own door, holding your own open houses, placing your own ads online, making your own brochures, and setting your own price. Everything will be exactly the same as what you are doing now; except, your house will be listed on the MLS and you will have the professional Realtors from 4 Sale Realty, Inc on your side to help with any questions that may arise throughout the process. By the way, we are not a "9-5" company and can answer your questions 7 days a week!
Detailed Description of What is included with our Flat Fee MLS Program
We will list your property on the local multiple listing services (MLS) for a one time flat fee of $275.00. Locally that MLS is called Midwest Real Estate Data Exchange (MRED - Formally MLSNI). (MRED / MLSNI is one of the largest MLS systems in the country. It covers from Lake Michigan to Rockford and from Indiana to Wisconsin.) Your property will be available to Realtors in all of Northeastern Illinois. (If you are not in Northeastern Illinois or from another state, let us know, we still may be able to help. We have resources nationwide.)
We will physically enter your property into the MLS system. Also, we will make sure you are not doing anything illegal in the listing of your property. Not as lawyers, only in our capacity as Realtors.
Up to 9 pictures on the MLS (provided by the you) again at no additional charge.
We will provide an enhanced on Realtor.com. This includes pictures (provided by you) and an expanded write-up describing your property and its features. Many companies charge extra for this feature but we include it at no extra charge for our clients.
Unlimited free access to all commonly used and necessary forms.
Posting of your ad to an astonishing amount of top web sites as listed above.
Unlimited postings of your open house notifications on both MLS systems and on Realtor.com.
A free, professionally designed yard or window sign with a place for you to put YOUR telephone number on it. The sign was designed with you and Realtors in mind. It lets people know that you are for sale by owner and also that you are for sale with a Realtor. Naturally, you want the passersby to know that you are for sale by owner and you want them to call you. Also, the Realtors want to be able to identify your property as the one they saw in the MLS so they know they are at the correct property. Here is an example of the sign. It is 18x24 and made of corrugated plastic.
Unlimited changes to your ad as needed including, but not limited to: pictures, price, description, details, commission, etc. all with a simple email. We believe that you deserve an accurate ad. Also, we work 7 days a week so you can make changes and will have access to us 7 days a week. We further believe that no matter what you pay for service, you deserve good service. Some people will do what we do and call it "full service" and perhaps charge you a "full service" price. We instead offer a fantastic service at a very reasonable price and hope that you will refer your friends and family to our company.
We will help you negotiate your deal at no additional charge to you. As mentioned above, since 2005, we have closed well over $400 million in real estate using this program. We are very comfortable with the process. Hopefully your property will be next. On our staff we have agents trained and certified in negotiation.
Additional Details of the Flat Fee MLS Program:
If you sell your property to a buyer NOT represented by a Realtor, you pay nothing else. Period! However, if another Realtor brings the buyer, you will agree to pay that Realtor a pre-determined percentage of the final sales price. It can be any percentage you want; however, we recommend somewhere between 2 - 3%.
You can place your own "for sale by owner" sign in the yard (provided your community allows it) or use the one that we provide (see above).
You will need to determine the selling price. You will supply all of the room dimensions and necessary forms. You will provide the pictures. And, you will provide the guidelines for the write-up.
You can pay several ways....1) Pay with a credit card (We accept Visa, Master Card, American Express, and Discover) or 2) Mail us a check (cash is always welcome as well). *Note* The FSBO Flat Fee Special fee is due upon acceptance of the ad on the MLS (we will provide you with a copy of the ad) and NOT at the closing. An invoice can be mailed but it will be due upon receipt.
In order to maintain the lowest possible costs to our clients and so we can continue to offer this fantastic low cost program, we treat this program more like advertising and no refunds will be issued once the property is listed on the MLS. Also, while we move a lot of real estate we can not guarantee the sale of the property. However, you are with us until you sell or get tired of the process. There is no charge to cancel your listing and also no charge to extend your listing. Each can be done with a simple email.
This is a bare-bones way for you to list your home on the Realtors MLS system. As a result, you end up doing the bulk of the work. It is kind of like that discount supermarket where you have to bag your own groceries but you save a lot of money. It is our goal to expose your property to the greatest number of potential buyers. If you sell it yourself, great! If a Realtor brings the buyer, Great too! Either way, you are the one making the money. And, either way you end up saving money. Think about it. You've got nothing to lose and everything to gain for roughly the cost of a newspaper advertisement

How to get started:

The Flat Fee Listing Agreement gives us permission to put your property on the MLS plus it specifies the price you want to list at, the appliances that will stay with the property, and what commission you will pay to the buyers broker assuming the buyer is represented by a Realtor. The Info Sheet simply helps us to accurately describe your property in the MLS. There are other forms that you may need in the selling process and we will make sure you have everything you need. Once your property is live on the MLS, we will send you a link via email so you can view the listing immediately. Also, we will mail you a hard copy along with a few other forms that you may need in the selling process
To get started simply complete and submit the form below, or feel free to call us or use the Contact form on this website to request additional information. We will email you all the necessary paperwork.
We look forward to hearing from you. It would bring us great pleasure to help you sell your house. We will usually have your property live within 2 hours! Sometimes, we may need up to 24 hours to get all of the information from you.
