Tampa Home Owners Save on Average 65% in Real Estate Commissions when using our Flat fee MLS Listing Service

Flat Fee MLS listings are selling faster than new ones are being listed in Tampa

The Florida real estate market has changed over the past 5 months as buyers and sellers expectations of value are narrowing. I am Keith Gordon, broker and co-owner of a Tampa flat fee MLS listing and full-service discount real estate firm, ADDvanatge®.

Our inventory of available homes in Florida dropped 21% from March-May 2010, in part, due to the expiring tax credits and the overall narrowing of sellers and buyers expectations of value.

We have 2 levels of service at ADDvantage® for the cost conscience home seller. One plan is a traditional flat fee MLS listing where the seller represents themselves and the other is our full-service discount plan called ADDvantage Success where I represent the seller just like a traditional full-service agent would. The cost of ADDvantage Success is $699 up-front and 1/3 of 1% at close.

We do save Tampa, Florida home sellers an average 65% of commissions and have a reputation as being the most reliable discount real estate service in Florida.

We offers many helpful tools on our website for our flat fee MLS sellers to guide them through the process of selling a home without an traditional agent. We have spent the past 6 years building the most advanced and intuitive MLS discount listing platform enabling sellers to list, manage and sell a home without paying 6%.

One might think that this type of service is a “no-frills do-it-yourself and good luck” way of selling a home. To the contrary, ADDvantage® is actually a serviced based discount real estate company similar to a Charles Schwab. To us, it’s all about offering the best technology and service to our customers with our emphasis on cost savings and transparency.

Our concept of selling real estate in Florida is to present the seller with a marketing system backed by heavy customer service. We remain the only Florida flat fee MLS listing service or full-service real estate company that prides itself on never missing a showing opportunity as we are open for business at 8:00am each day and close at 8:00pm, 7 DAYS a WEEK! . All calls are answered live by professional MLS assistants and I am always available to assist as well.

We have hundreds of very satisfied Tampa flat fee MLS home sellers.

ADDvantage, a Tampa based flat fee MLS listing service, now offers by owner MLS sellers home warranties through Old Republic.

Listing in the MLS flat fee is growing more popular every day and ADDvantage is leading the way to create new marketing ideas that help sell listings faster. By offering a home warranty to buyers, a flat fee MLS Tampa homeowner will garner more attention to their MLS listing without paying for the home warranty premium until that property closes. The cost is about $400.

This is one of those situations where it is better to reap the benefits now for an item that you will likely be paying for anyway in the future. That is of course, if you sell. And if you don’t, it’s free!

Most buyer’s agents in Tampa will request that the seller purchase a home warranty and make this request when they presenting an offer. By advertising in the MLS and other FSBO websites that your home comes with a warranty, it conveys the message that your home has more value.

According to a Gallup poll, 79% of both buyers and sellers rate home warranties as one of the most important considerations when buying or selling a home.

There are 5 reasons to list your Florida property using our ADDvantage Plus program.

First, this flat fee MLS listing looks and acts just like a full-service listing but the cost is $799 upfront and $500 at close. It saves sellers about 50% off a traditional listing. We take all calls, schedule all showings and negotiate all offers with you. More deals get done because when I negotiate with ‘fellow’ Realtors, the emotions stay on the sidelines and I go right after what my seller client wants. I use my 25 years of experience as a Florida real estate broker to get the most out of every offer.

Second, I believe with our 8:00am-8:00pm 7 day a week live phone support, we do a better job of answering the phone and scheduling appointments. This adds a professional touch and Realtors prefer working through another broker rather than dealing directly with a seller.

Third, our Street Smart ADDvantage Realtor eblasting program is included in the ADDvantage Plus plan. The seller must offer at least a 4% buyer’s agent commission to opt into Street Smart ADDvantage eblast. The eblast is sent to every Realtor within 35 miles of a Street Smart listing in Miami, Tampa, and Orlando or wherever you list your property. It is sent twice a month and is recognized as Florida’s most well-read Realtor-to-Realtor email.

Forth, I believe sellers benefit greatly when I do the negotiations. Not only should I get you a higher price for your home but better terms, as well. Contracts can be tricky and Realtors can be aggressive with self-represented sellers.

Fifth, all buyer leads from Realtor.com, Homes.com and other FSBO websites remain the sellers. Even though I handle all offers, sellers retain the right to sell themselves ‘by-owner’ and pay no commission.

As a note about physically being in Tampa Bay. All offers are handled by fax or email. My physical location does not interfere with the representation process. Even if there are ‘inspection related’ issues, one of my strengths happens to be my knowledge of construction and the ‘trades.’
