ADDvantage® now makes it simple to understand how flat fee listing works by watching our flat fee MLS videos.

In today’s price driven real estate market, every penny counts these days and ADDvantage® is leading the way on this cost saving campaign by offering the best by-owner flat fee MLS listing service.

ADDvantage® holds direct MLS membership with 28 Florida Realtor Associations from Ft. Myers, Ft. Lauderdale,  Orlando, Florida Keys, Marco Island,  Ocala, Jacksonville, Tallahassee, The Pan Handle, Bradenton, Tampa, St. Pete, Clearwater, Gainesville, Naples, Boca and just about every small Florida city in between.

Listing Flat fee in the MLS has grown in popularity because sellers save 50% in commissions without sacrificing marketing or service. We offer the best live phone support and superior Internet marketing so selling your Florida home is easy and cost effective. ADDvantage® has been working overtime for years earning the respect of fellow Realtors and by-owners throughout Florida.

In today’s price driven buyer’s market, sellers must sell and compete along side short sales and bank owned properties. Lower sales commissions are an excellent starting point to get noticed and sold faster. ADDvantage® has done a great job in Florida for by-owners…Just take a look at our flat fee MLS sales statistics!

When listing flat fee MLS, in Orlando, by-owners only pay a commission to buyer’s agents. If you sell without a Realtor, no commission is due. Our basic 9 month flat fee listing is just $349 which includes a listing in Mid-Florida Regional.

With flat fee MLS, there is no binding listing agreement (view flat fee MLS listing agreement) and you can cancel anytime, with a moments notice and without a fee or penalty.

Our Internet marketing is superior and we will list your home, condo, commercial property or vacant land on hundreds of sites such as MSN, homes.com, Craigslist, AOL, Realtor.com, getmoreoffers, Bargain Network, Yahoo and many more.

Our service commitment to our Orlando by owners makes ADDvantage® your best partner in Florida to list flat fee in the MLS. We offer the most reliable live phone support from 8:00am and to 8:00pm every day o the week including Saturday and Sunday.

We are the only Florida discount real estate broker or full-service real estate company to do this. We truly understand real estate is a sales business and we understand each call is important and maybe your sale. We have offered this live phone support for six years now and continue to do so. We enjoy the best reputation in Florida among fellow Realtors because of it. When Realtors see our name in the MLS, they know what to expect when they call. Real-time live support 7 days a week!

We also give every seller more control over your MLS listing because each seller has their own seller control panel to change price, commission, view who has viewed your listing and all seamless, 100% on-line and electronic. No faxes, or emails, just clicks.

Even Realtors trust ADDvantage® to list their own listings when they need marketing outside their local MLS coverage. Homeowners, builders and investors all trust ADDvantage®.

Managing a Flat Rate MLS service is complicated because we service the Realtors® with showing instructions and must do an excellent job with Internet marketing, making sure our MLS listing are accurate and manage our clients change requests in a timely manor.　

At ADDvantage®, we have succeeded is both categories of delivering excellent service to Realtors® and our Orlando home owners for 5 years in a row.　

Our formula for success was simple to think of but very difficult to implement. We decided in 2005 that all calls will be answered “live” by a human between the hours of 8:00am-8:00pm 7 days a week. 　

We are the only Florida flat fee MLS or full service real estate service has done this…Even Saturday and Sunday.　

Realtors® throughout Florida now know ADDvantage® as the real estate company that is always available. Our positive reputation with Orlando Realtors® helps you get more showing because when a Realtor® searches the MLS and sees our name they know one phone call gets immediate gratification….Instant showing instructions!　

It’s no secret Realtors® don’t love flat fee MLS services because we represent competition for listings and flat fee MLS services are notorious for horrible service to both teh Realtors® and their clients.　

Our approach since we started ADDvantage® in 2005 was to do the opposite of what we perceived as “business as usual” real estate. Hence, ADDvantage® was born and we now we enjoy without doubt the best reputation of any flat fee MLS service in Florida.　

ADDvantage is also a “concierge” flat fee MLS service because 2 of our flat fee MLS plans blend in with other full-service listings.　

ADDvantage® offers 2 hybrid flat fee MLS plans where we represent the seller, take all calls, schedule all showings and negotiate all offers right through closing. The seller benefits by often getting a higher price for their home. These 2 plans also add additional value to our already good reputation because unlike a flat fee listing, these listings are imputed into the MLS as an “Exclusive Right of Sale Listings” not “Exclusive Agency.” Full-service listings are designated in the MLS as “Exclusive Right of Sale Listings” and flat fee listings are “Exclusive Agency.”　

The names of these plans are ADDvantage Plus™ and ADDvantage Success™. With a “Plus” listing, the seller “works” all unrepresented buyer leads in an effort to sell without paying any commission. With ADDvantage Success, our Orlando agents “work” all unrepresented buyers to help sell your home.　

The seller never pays more than one commission which is typically 3%. Just one agent will be earning that commission. Regardless of which plan you choose and the saving are at least 50%. The “Success” plan removes the hassles of working with buyers. But, some sellers want to work the buyers so I recommend “Plus.”　

List your Miami home with the company that has earned the trust of Orlando Realtors, ADDvantage®.

Most Orlando home owners do not fully trust Realtors®. For whatever their reasons, this remains a fact. I am Keith Gordon, broker for flat fee MLS Orlando listing service ADDvantage®.

I belong to 26 Florida MLS Realtor Associations, including the Mid Florida Regional MLS. I have been a licensed Florida real estate broker since 1984. My honest real estate brokerage dealings for the past 25 years has earned me a reputation as being forthright, respected and as a result, zero complaints with the Division of Real Estate in my 25 years of brokerage activity.

Trust will always be an issue when money is involved, especially big real estate commissions. Because 6% represents huge money, Orlando by owners have turned to an alternative way to list and sell real estate in Florida…Flat Fee MLS.

I have found that many of our clients even doubt our honesty and sincerity until they have listed and dealt personally with our staff. Once they see our professionalism and have experienced our easy to use MLS listing software, the trust barrier comes down. We are timely with our MLS edits once you are a client and our overall customer satisfaction is unapproachable.

I believe there are three areas that Orlando, Florida owners have trust issues with:

1) Buyer leads are one area that flat fee MLS home sellers do not fully understand. At ADDvantage®, our policy with regard to buyer leads has been effective and honest since we started ADDvantage® back in 2005. Once a buyer lead is received by us from any source such as Realtor.com or Homes.com, we promptly forward it to our seller in real time 7 days a week from 8:00am-8:00pm. This level of service is unheard of in the real estate. Between these hours, all emails and calls are answered “live” by our staff and forwarded to our Orlando flat fee MLS sellers…Either by phone and/or email. Our relentless attention to all details has earned ADDvantage ® the best reputation in all Florida for delivering the most reliable and trusted flat fee MLS service. As well, all leads and Realtor® calls for showings are stored in the sellers account in their easy reference and retrieval.

2) The next point of trust or dis-trust is how Realtor.com and IDX works. Most Orlando by owners do not fully understand the nuances of Realtor.com and why should they. Fact is, no seller contact information is allowed, by rule of Realtor.com, to be published in Realtor.com. ONLY the listing broker’s phone number and name may appear. All Realtor® websites such as Coldwell Banker and remax.com receive their MLS listing data directly from Realtor.com through a feed called IDX. This means all websites that display MLS listings contain the listing brokers contact information, not the sellers. So, sellers must implicitly trust the flat fee MLS broker to professionally handle buyer leads. The sellers contact information is displayed on our site http://www.getmoreoffers.com and sites such as Homes.com.

3) Offers from Realtors® are another big trust issue. Sellers do want the marketing and cost saving offered by flat fee MLS listing services but, “don’t touch my offers.” Sellers would prefer their offers going directly to them and not through the flat fee broker. At ADDvantage®, we facilitate our seller’s deals and would never impede the sale. We forward all offers directly to our sellers (8:00am-8:00pm 7 days) and call notifying of the offer being forwarded by email. We have never mishandled an offer in 5 years. Most offers do come through ADDvantage® as Realtors® prefer the “listing broker” to initially receive the offer and then forward the offer to the “self-represented” seller. From there, the buyer’s agent and seller negotiate the offer. As a note, it is clearly stated in the MLS to call seller directly for all showings and includes the seller’s phone number. But, it has been Realtor® protocol for 80 years to deal only with the listing broker. This also assists ADDvantage® with timely updating the MLS listing status from “active” to “contract pending” an MLS board requirement.

Trust will remain an issue when big money is involved. Orlando by owners that do choose ADDvantage will soon believe it is possible to trust a flat rate MLS service with your home sale and still 50% off the cost of a traditional listing….Or, possibly pay no commission if you sell without a Realtor®. At ADDvantage®, we have earned our reputation as Orlando’s most trusted and hardest working flat fee MLS broker. We consistently deliver more offers, more buyer leads and Realtor® feedback on all showings. We do this 7 days a week from 8:00am-8:00pm for 5 years in a row.
