Flat Fee MLS Services-Adam Campo, Baton Rouge

I thought they had one that did it for like $500? You would still have to pay the buyer's agent probably 2.5-3% I think. You don't need a realtor at closing so I wouldn't pay more for that. I would probably try to sell it on fsbobr first before going that route but it is worth the money to get on MLS sites.

I know a few people who just posted on zillow in the last month and sold their house within a week, myself included. Unfortunately my buyer lost their job 3 days before closing so I am back at square one. Just posted on FSBOBR today sometime we will see how that goes

We used Paige Knobles to sell our house last year. She has different packages for listing your house. We were very happy with her services.

Depends on how fast you're trying to sell and how desirable the property is. FSBO MLS listing is still like $450 I think and you don't get the E-Docs handled by the realtor, CSC listing services, or Lockbox.

That extra money your paying for the things above, makes life much, much easier.

Why not price it 3k more and offer a buyers agent a full commission?

At least 2.5%. If you're wanting to get a realtor to bring a buyer, at 2%, your house will be not be on the top of their list.

You can always put it on Zillow for a couple weeks if you aren't in a hurry and see if you get any bites, if nothing, go do the MLS listing.

I googled her last night after reAding the recommendations. She has a website with contact info. About to give her a call because I called Adam campo Friday morning then again yesterday and he's yet to return my call with two voicemails being left. If that's how quick he is to return calls when I signify I want to list with him then I'll see if I can find someone else.

Someone mentioned what fsbo cost and that's the reason I'm just going straight to MLS. It's the same price and FSBO just takes a little longer.

The perk of FSBOBR is that you don't have to pay the realtors anything if you get a buyer without an agent. If your house is in a good area, price it right and it will sell itself. As the other person stated, if you put it on MLS where buyers agents only get 2%, they will likely not even mention your house to their clients unless your house is worth a good bit of money.

I agree with this information. For sure 2% gets you nowhere. You have to offer at least 2.5%.

We have sold 2 houses FSBO and the last one we knew we needed an agent and to be in MLS.

The neighborhood we were in was upscale and homes didn't move too quickly. We wanted to be at closing in 60-90 days and Paige got us to closing in 60 days. We had to lower the price $10,000 (to compete with other homes in our price range) 30 days after listing but we got a full price offer and gave the buyer $5000 in closing costs. We actually walked away with a few grand more than our rock bottom number.

You just have to know your neighborhood and what your needs are.

Residential realtors will eventually be a dead profession or at least only a shadow of itself. An industry that uses protectionism to ensure it stays relevant is an industry ripe for the taking by innovation.

Zillow, redfin, etc. are only the surface of what is going to come for the industry.

If someone knows an area, then maybe the realtor is worth 1% to take care of the paperwork.

6% of the deal (3% on each side) needs to go the way of the dinosaurs.

ETA: Personally, I believe the industry should be a flat fee service based on pricing brackets rather than a curve based on a percentage. There is no incremental effort required to sell a 350k house versus a 300k house, yet the model today pays are incremental margin on that 50k difference.

ON [OFF] SOAPBOX

Tigerbandpiccolo,
I noticed your post, and I thought it would be appropriate to respond here to address your concerns. I am unsure as to whether I have gotten back with you or not at this point given that I don't have a name to match up with your username for this site.

Regardless, I would like to apologize. I was out of the office for a few days dealing with an unexpected emergency on one of my construction projects, and it required my undivided attention. For the first time in years, I was forced to ask my office to hold my calls for a few days. However, I returned all of my held calls on Tuesday (before I was made aware of your post), so hopefully we have already spoken. I would like to assure you that I am among the most reachable agents in the Baton Rouge Area, and that this delay was an isolated incident.

If you are still in need of my real estate sales, property management, or association management services, you have my word that we will give you the same great level of service that we give all of our clients. If you are interested, please call our office at (225) 295-3035, and ask a member of my staff to put you in touch with me immediately.

Respectfully,
Adam Campo
