Serving Most Areas of Virginia, Maryland and DC. 
Do we cover your MLS AREA?  more info

WHAT MLS SYSTEM AM I IN?
Depends on the area you live:
MRIS - Northern Virginia & Surrounding Areas, Maryland and Washington DC
REIN - Virginia Beach/Hampton Roads, etc
WAAR - Williamsburg and surrounding areas,
HRAR - Harrisonburg and Rockingham,
CAAR - Charlottesville area,
CVR - Richmond area,
RV - Roanoke Valley area,
NRV - New River Valley area to name just a few.
 

Listing Type: Sale or Lease
You always have the ability to set your own commission - however - the norm is 3%. Remember this is an agents livelihood - they will show homes offering 3% before they show a home offering less.

Listing Term depends on the plan you pick
Until Sold is only available in the MRIS, REIN, CVR, WAAR and CBRAR areas.
12 months is for the other MLS areas for Full Service Plan.
You may cancel listing at anytime - unless your home is under contract.
If you have any rented items from us - they must be returned first (by appt) before we can pull your listing. 

Buyers want pictures - the more the better.  If they don't see all your roooms, they assume you have something to hide and there is something wrong.
If your package doesn't include the max # of pictures - you can purchase the "Showcase" a-la-carte.

Listing on Local Realtor� MLS

When agents or people talk about listing on the MLS, listing on the "local MLS" is what they mean. There is only one MLS in your area that agents use. There are over 800 MLS's in America, but you want to be in the one in your area.

Once on the MLS, your home will download to popular websites like realtor.com for everyone on the internet to see your home.

Disclaimer: Websites feed from the MLS on their own schedules.  They download data from many different Realtor MLS systems (some weekly, some daily).  The number of websites are always changing and we have zero control.  This is strictly controlled by the MLS.  Each of these sites also dictate what criteria they load from the MLS Listing.  The MLS also controls how much info they will load to various sites.  We have no control over any of this. There are NO Guarantees as to how many of these sites you will show up on and there are no refunds if you do not show up on any of them.

Business Days are Monday - Friday from 9-5 pm.  We are closed on the weekends and holidays.
If you want to be up by FRIDAY - we need your listing Wednesday morning.
If you need your listing up the same day - then you will need to pay a Rush Fee - otherwise all we can tell you is that your flat fee listing will be up within 1-2 business days from the time we receive your MLS paperwork.
 

All Buyer Leads are Forwarded to you via Email.  Follow up with all leads within 24 hours.

The Online Home Selling Success Kit is packed with tons of information, helpful tips, what to do and not to do, proper showing techniques, helpful forms, etc.

All lockboxes and signs must be returned prior to pulling your listing.
If you have a professionally installed post sign, we cannot pull you until 
the company has picked up their sign (3-5 business days).
Then we will send you a withdrawal form.

Disclaimer: Websites that download from the MLS are in a constant state of change, beyond our control, however, most are constant. These sites down load from different MLS's, at different times, and in different areas, some are slow to down load, while others are fast.

​Price Your Home Correctly - Don't waste time and money marketing your home until you know what your home is worth.
For a small fee, we will do a Market Analysis/Comps (CMA) on your home.  We will pull up all the active, sold, pending and expired listings so you can see the activity in your neighborhood so you can make an informed decision about the pricing of your home.  Pay attention to square footage and lot size. This service is free with the Works and Whole Enchilada.

We send you ongoing comps in your subdivision to keep you informed of the activity throughout your listing period.  If a new property comes on the market, or a listed home drops their price, or a home goes under contract or closes - you will be notified.
We can only run comps for the following MLS systems:  MRIS, REIN, CVR, WAAR and CBRAR.

We provide the necessary disclosure forms needed for selling your home in Virginia, Maryland or DC.

 

Rental Fee + $100 Deposit + Small Fee for Shipping
($100 Refunded upon Return)
*Combo Boxes are not allowed with CRV Richmond MLS or WAAR Williamsburg MLS.
*Realtor boxes only available in certain areas. 
**The $100 deposit will be added to the cost of the package.
***If you request in the Sign/Lockbox Pickup request form that the lockbox be mailed - Shipping will be added to your credit card.

IMPORTANT - READ - Because this is For Sale By Owner and because we do not come to the home to remove the lockbox for you – we offer the below suggestion. 
We always recommend to clients to get a bike chain and lock it around a fence or rail and slide the lockbox on to that – so if there is an issue with the box (batteries die, box malfunctions or when you have sold) – you can easily get the box off the chain to return to us. 
This prevents the problem of you having to unscrew the doorknob to get the box off to return to us.  BE SURE TO PUT LOCKBOX IN A PLACE IT WON'T GET WET.
