Live in New England and Selling Your Home? List FREE in the Official REALTOR® Owned MLS in Your State
Copyright © 2014- 2019 AUTHOR: Paul R. Marino, REALTOR®, e-Pro®
For starters, we provide you with a FREE active listing in your particular state Multiple Listing Service (MLS). For Connecticut (CT) sellers, that means entry into the SmartMLS® system. In Massachusetts (MA), its the MLSPIN® database. New Hampshire (NH) and Vermont (VT) home sellers are entered into the NEREN® MLS system. Maine (ME) listing sellers are entered into the Maine Listings Flexmls® broker owned database. And if you’re not in these various state specific databases, the chances of selling your home are remote. These MLS databases are the real deal – the exact same database all agents and brokers use to post their listings. Do not be fooled by firms promising to get you into an "important" database that may sound similar, but is not the real McCoy.
But that's just the start. We will ensure your property data and photos are immediately (within 24 hours) distributed over the Internet to a massive array of property search websites (see the scrolling list of sites just below the FAQ's on the home page). Your property data and photos are distributed to 90+/- property search web sites for which we have a syndication agreement. These include sites like Zillow®, Realtor®, Trulia®, Homefinder®, and many, many more. Plus, not only will your home be listed on these 90+/- websites, but you will be listed on hundreds of other sites. How?
Nearly every real estate brokerage in the states of CT, FL, MA, ME, NH, and VT has a website. And nearly every one of them offers the ability to search for available properties (yours included), right from their website. On top of that, 75%+ of all agents and brokers have their own individual websites. Your home will be seen there as well if these agents have a search function built into their website. This is massive exposure. If you tried to do this yourself (post to hundreds of websites), it would take you weeks, if not months. We do it in 24 hours, and it won't cost you a cent.
This next feature is important, as it is critical to your success. Every prospective buyer lead that is routed to Landfall Properties, LLC is sent directly to you. We do not intercept buyers. This is an incredibly valuable service that simply can not be matched by anyone in the business. All leads, whether coming into Landfall Properties, LLC by phone, text, email, or chat will be immediately routed to both your text capable cell phone and your email. Certain sites (major sites like Zillow and Trulia) will provide buyers with the ability to directly communicate with Landfall Properties, LLC from their site. When the lead comes into Landfall Properties, LLC, we immediately bounce it over to you for follow up.
How do you know we're telling the truth? You don't, unless you ask to be put in touch with any one of home seller clients. Pick one at random out of our Testimonials section, and we will place you in direct contact. Of course, once you're up and listed, you can simply test the process for yourself. Simply go to Zillow or Trulia (for example), and fill out the “I want more information” box. Or, tell a friend, whose email we do not know, and sit back and watch the result. The result is, your cell and email will light up. This is your best chance of connecting with a buyer directly, and bypassing a broker commission of any kind (no listing side sales commission, and no buyer broker side sales commission). Attention to detail on buyer leads is what sets us head and shoulders above the competition. Never forget, every home sale begins with an inbound buyer lead.
On some sites, especially brokerage or individual agent sites, the whole purpose of these folks putting your listing up on their site is to allow them to participate as buyer brokers in the purchase of your home. No worries. Buyer brokers are your friend, for there is no more important person than the person that can actually bring forth a buyer. Sure, you'll pay the buyer broker 2%, but isn't that a whole lot better than paying 5% to 7%?
