Your home will be placed on the REALTORS® MLS for up to (1 year) where over 48,500 real estate agents covering Cook and the collar counties will be able to show their buyers your property.

  • All showings will be handled by you. Your name will be on the MLS sheet for buyer brokers to contact for showing. You will also handle all of your own personal showings as well.
  • Once a contract is written by the cooperating REALTOR, (by Illinois Law) we must provide a minimum level of service and that shall include receiving and negotiate all contracts on your behalf until an agreement is reached. After the paperwork has been signed and earnest money exchanged hands, we will hand it over to your attorney for the closing.
  • Because you retain the right to sell your home at any time, we encourage you to hold open houses to look for that buyer. REMEMBER if you find the buyer you don't pay a Buyer's Broker fee.
  • Remember: The fee you are paying is to place your property on the MLS and contract negotiations only. If you want open houses or multiple photos on web sites those are at additional costs. Contact me for prices 708-602-5422

How much do I have to offer in cooperating Buyers  Broker commission to have other REALTORS Show my home?
The fee you offer is totally negotiable. You need to keep in mind that your property must be competitive with the other properties in your area. So take a look at what other brokers are offering and use that as a guide.
Understanding Broker's Commission
What is the MLS?
The REALTOR®Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a computerized database containing all of the properties on the market through real estate brokerage companies. When anyone contacts an agent regarding a home purchase, the agent will search the MLS for properties meeting their criteria.

Is this the real MLS?
Yes. As a licensed broker, Select A Fee Real Estate belongs to the same MLS as other real estate companies. For example, Select a Fee Real Estate System belongs to the Multiple Listing Service of Northern Illinois (MLSNI) which covers 6 counties has over 48,000 realtor members in the Chicagoland area.

Will my listing look the same as all the other listings?
Absolutely. Listings are all formatted by the MLS and all are identical.

Can I still sell my home "By Owner"?
Yes. Unlike listing your home with a traditional real estate company Select a Fee Real Estate System will not take away your right to sell your home by owner. In fact, Select a Fee Real Estate System encourages you to market your property by owner. Our only restriction is that you do not place a "For Sale By Owner" sign in your yard or window while listed in the REALTOR®MLS.

Why can't I use a "For Sale By Owner" sign?
We have found that Realtors are reluctant to show a buyer a home that has a "For Sale By Owner" sign. Therefore to use your own sign would eliminate any benefit of being in the MLS.

Why do I need to be listed in the MLS?
To get the word out!! 85% of all home buyers get their information from REALTOR agents using the MLS. Once you make the decision to sell your home, it is important to sell it within the first 90 days. Homes that are on the market longer than 90 days develop a reputation of being over priced, or something is wrong with the property. Listing in the MLS will bring qualified buyers to you as soon as possible.

Will you list my home on the internet?
Yes! As Realtors, Select a Fee Real Estate System works through your local MLS to add our listings to their high-traffic Real Estate website such as REALTOR.com, ChicagoTribune.com, MLSNI.com, Homeadvisor.com, homeseekers.com, and HeatherDKing.com just to mention a few.
offering and use that as a guide.
