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

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.

Our customers are by owners, sellers who want full-service but are still interested in saving about 50% in commissions, builders, out-of-state Realtors that are selling property in Florida, in-state Realtors hat need to sell a property outside their MLS board coverage area and other professionals such as home inspectors, appraisers and others that are “in-the-know.” When a professional reads about what we do at ADDvantage®, they are impressed and they truly should be because what we do everyday is nothing short of an extraordinary effort to exceed our sellers expectations. We have hundreds of very satisfied Tampa flat fee MLS home sellers.

If you compare what ADDvantage® offers with our 100% electronic website (no faxing or emails), to our advanced Internet marketing and reliable customer service, you will agree we are hands down the best value of any Florida based flat fee MLS listing service.

Is March the best time to list my Tampa home flat fee MLS?

I am Keith Gordon, broker for Tampa flat fee MLS listing service ADDvantage®. This time of year the most popular question asked by sellers is when is the best time to list in the MLS? You want your MLS listing to be seen as “fresh” to the Realtors® but you don’t want to miss showing opportunities. The best answer to this question is “sellers have no control over when your buyer is going make you that offer that creates a deal.”

Like fishing, if you have no bait in the water you have no chance of catching your dinner. At ADDvantage®, we believe the best time to market your Tampa is everyday. Buyers will find their way through our endless array of Internet Marketing in google, craigslist, Vast, Homes.com, Realtor.com, MSN, AOL, Trulia and hundreds more sites.

Once the buyer prospect finds your home, we guarantee we will not miss an email request for a showing or a phone call. ADDvantage® is the only Florida discount MLS broker that answers their phone 12 hours a day 7 days a week. For that matter, no real estate company offers our level of phone support.

We have answered over 3,107 calls live over the past 12 months for our flat fee MLS Florida clients and 1,047 of those calls were answered after-hours. If the call can be converted into a showing, ADDvantage® will do it. We sell more Tampa homes as a result.

Unlike other industries where sales people are held accountable by their managers, Realtors® have no managers. They are 100% independent contractors. If they don’t answer their phone, the seller client misses a showing and they’ll never know it. This will never happen at ADDvantage®.

We have been through challenging markets since 2006. 2009 is no different. We are selling 26% of our Tampa flat fee MLS listed homes with an average “days on market” of 117 days.

This result would not be possible without our 8:00am-8:00pm 7 day a week live support.

List flat fee with the most reliable discount MLS broker in Florida…ADDvantage®.
