Flat Fee MLS Listing 

Diane Kelly
Discover Real Estate Limited

Basic MLS Listing Only Plan

- CAUTION -
This service should be used ONLY by experienced sellers! If you you are not completely familiar with the real estate process in Alberta then we strongly advice you to use our full service package.   

You pay only a one time $1,395 (plus GST) listing fee for a full 6 month MLS listing in which you offer to pay licensed agents who bring you a firm purchase offer a commission of 3.5% on the first 100K of the sale plus 1.5% commission on the balance (plus GST). This commission paid to realtors working with buyers is a de-facto standard in Alberta and will ensure that other agents arrange showings of your home.

We do NOT charge a "listing" commission.

SATISFACTION GUARANTEE!!

Should you decide at any time that you would prefer us to sell your home on your behalf, we will deduct your $1,395 from our full service listing fees due at closing.


Below is two examples of your savings based on commonly charged commission rate of 7% (first 100k) & 3.5% (on the balance):


Example one: 
Another agent brings a buyer to you ready, willing and able to purchase your home at a price agreeable to you.

$300,000 sale, paying a Buyers Agent say 3.5% & 1.50% respectively plus your $1,395.00 listing fee.

You will save approx. $5,105. 


Example Two:
An interested buyer contacts you directly having visited your open house, seen your MLS listing, seen your lawn sign etc.. 

$300,000 sale. With no buyers your only cost is the original listing fee of $1,395.00

you will save approx. $11,605 !


Market Exposure 

With your MLS Listing, your home will be seen by tens of thousands of Realtors across Canada.  Prospective buyers worldwide will also see your property via the public MLS systems. With this kind of exposure and a well maintained and fairly priced home - your home will quickly sell.


Advantages:

(1)Your home listed in M.L.S with color digital picture, for 6 months.

(2) Your home will be exposed 24/7 on the M.L.S making it instantly available to over 4,000 Realtors in and around Calgary and their potential buyers.

(3) Your “Open House” publicized to all Calgary Realtors who have access to the MLS.

(4) Your home listed on the public MLS.ca service and  as well as TALKCalgary .com

(5) You retain the right to sell yourself to anyone not brought to you by a another agent.

(6) You decide the commission you will offer via Discover Real Estate Limited to other agents. Although we strongly recommend you do not offer less then 3.5% on the first 100K and 1.5% on the balance.

(7) Buyers' agents can match your home with a buyer they may have, then call you directly to show your home. If they sell, you compensate them at closing, by the rate you set in your M.L.S. listing. 


Disadvantages 

(1) You do not receive the use of a lockbox facility.
You will be responsible for arranging all viewings on your home and arranging showings with other realtors.

(2) You do not receive contract negotiation or contract authentication. 
You are responsible for selling your home and you must decide if offers brought are legal, valid and acceptable to you.

(3) You do not receive the services of a listing realtor.
By using this budget service You are purchasing an MLS listing, yard sign and conveyancing service ONLY. Nothing more. You are formally releasing Discover Real Estate Limited and Diane Kelly from all fiduciary duties and take full responsibility for the sale of your own home.

In the event you find your own buyer, then you are responsible for the entire transaction.

Should another licensed realtor from any company including but not limited to Discover Real Estate Limited bring you an acceptable offer then you agree to pay buyer's commission at the agreed rate. 

(4) Listing fee of $1,395.00 (plus GST) must be paid up-front. 
Should property not sell, then no refund will be offered on this fee. 

(5) Conveyancing service will be provided on offers submitted only by licensed realtors. Should you make arrangements to sell privately then you are responsible for the entire transaction process. 

IMPORTANT 

Should you accept a written offer from another agent, then this offer together with deposit cheque made out to Discover Real Estate Limited MUST be presented to:

Discover real Estate Limited
 201, 7909 Flint Road S.E.
Calgary, Alberta, T2H 1G3

within 1 business day of receipt of offer.
