Understand what the service provides, what you handle, and where optional help can be added.
A licensed real estate brokerage enters your property into the local MLS for a fixed listing fee rather than providing a traditional full-service listing package priced as a percentage-based listing-side commission.
Short answer, YES it will appear on sites like Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia and many other major and minor real estate portals. MLS listings are distributed through participating data feeds and may appear on major consumer real estate portals. Final display, timing and content are controlled by each portal, so placement on a particular website should not be guaranteed.
The seller handles or coordinates showings. An optional automated MLS showing and feedback system is included in the Premium Listing package or you can purchase it ala carte (see under Optional Services under Pricing).
Routine price and status changes are currently included without an additional charge, subject to the listing agreement and MLS rules.
Broker compensation is negotiable and is not set by law. Offers of buyer-broker compensation are not displayed in MLS fields. Whether a seller contributes to a buyer broker's compensation depends on the transaction and the parties' agreements.
Separate negotiation / transaction / closing assistance may be available for a 1% fee, payable by the seller at closing, subject to the exact services agreed upon.
Yes. The current service allows seller-provided photos and seller-provided lockboxes, with optional photography and an electronic MLS lockbox available for additional fees.
With the Standard $195 listing, agents contact you directly by text, phone, or email.
With the Premium $495 listing, I set up both MLS listings using the internal ShowingTime app. You can receive showing requests from agents by text, email, or phone and easily approve a request or ask to reschedule through an automated text or email. You also receive the agent’s information and any feedback they provide in response to our automated feedback follow-up.
A note about public contact information: I am all about full disclosure. NAR rules do not allow sellers’ contact information to be posted publicly through MLS/IDX systems. Some companies may leave sellers with the impression that their contact information will appear on public MLS-fed websites. To encourage direct buyer calls, I recommend marketing your property on social media and putting a professional For Sale By Owner sign in your yard.

Your listing is distributed to the major real estate websites, and I personally handle listing changes and corrections. Updates usually take effect within a few minutes, depending on each website’s feed download schedule.
I will email you a fillable MLS input form to complete on your PC or tablet. Save the completed form and email it back to me. Once payment is received and the listing documents are signed, I will email you a link for uploading your photos.
Email me your description, price, status, or other routine listing changes. Routine changes are included, and you can make as many as you need. Your listing stays active for as long as you need it, with no time limit.
The Standard $195 listing is entered into the Brevard MLS, which reaches approximately 4,000 to 5,000 agents. Stellar is an entirely separate MLS and is not syndicated with the Brevard MLS. I manually enter your complete listing, including photos, into Stellar.
Stellar covers a broad area of counties in Central Florida and reaches an additional agent base of more than 80,000 agents, providing a substantial increase in exposure. If you are not choosing the Premium listing, which I recommend as the best option, the $50 Stellar add-on is well worth considering.
Yes. I personally handle all listing input and support. You can email, call, or text me during normal business hours, and I will personally respond to your questions or concerns.
