Our Agent Activate® service engages our best Orlando agents or local affiliate to work with each buyer prospect. You pay only the offered buyer’s agent commission, the same commission you are offering any agent (which is typically 3%). If our agent sells, we take the deal from contract-to-close. Our agents will pre-qualify buyers, show your property, write the offer, negotiate the offer, inspection and inspection related negotiating, if any, assist with financing, work with your title company or real estate lawyer and complete the closing in a professional manor.

  • An Exclusive Right of Sale Listing in MLS, not an Exclusive Agency. At times, “by owner” listings are passed over because Orlando Realtors® perceive them as too much work. While there is only a slight chance of this occurring to your listing, the cost savings of listing flat fee in the MLS far outweigh any possible lost showings. But, why loose a Realtor® showing when there is a solution? List the property in the Orlando Mid-Florida MLS as an Exclusive Right of Sale Listing, NOT as an Exclusive Agency…Which is how all flat fee listing in Florida are inputted into the MLS. Because you will be represented by ADDvantage®, we will input ADDvantage Success™ listings into the MLS as Exclusive Right of Sale listings.

Is March or April the best time to list my Orlando property Flat Fee MLS?

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

I am the broker for Orlando flat fee MLS listing service ADDvantage®. The most popular question asked this time of year is when should I list my home in the MLS?

The dilemma is you want your MLS listing to be seen “fresh” to the Orlando Realtors® but you don’t want to miss the perfect offer.

The correct answer to “what’s the best month in Florida to list in the MLS” is…Right Now.

Sellers have no control over the timing of a sale. December 2008 was a good month for ADDvantage® selling homes which is typically a slow month.

Like fishing, the worse the weather creates the best fishing opportunities. Beautiful perfectly clam days often produce less fish. But…No bait in the water, no fish…On any day!

At ADDvantage®, we know the best time to sell your Orlando home is the day that perfect offer comes along. We will do our job our marketing everywhere possible on the Internet such as google, craigslist, Vast, Homes.com, Realtor.com, MSN, AOL, Trulia, Harmon Homes, getmoreoffers.com and hundreds more real estate websites.

Marketing alone is not enough to sell a home today. Buyers and Realtors® must be able to see your home when they call or email. ADDvantage® is the only Orlando, Florida discount MLS broker that guarantees to answers the phone 12 hours a day 7 days a week…starting at 8:00am and ending at 8:00pm. Buyers and Realtors® in Florida are particularly active on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday are mostly un-represented buyers calling on signs and Realtor.com.

We are the only Florida real estate company that considers the real estate profession a 7 day a week job. Why? Unlike other service industries where sales people are held accountable by their owners/managers, Realtors® have no responsibility to sellers. Once you sign a listing agreement, they are not committed to do much…Especially, answering their phone.

This poor level of phone service will never cost you a showing at ADDvantage® because our track record speaks for itself…3,107 calls answered live the past 12 months and 1,047 answered after-hours. ADDvantage® will convert calls into showings and showings result in more Orlando homes sold.

We have been through challenging markets since 2006. We are selling 26% of our Florida flat fee MLS listed homes with an average “days on market” of 117 days.
