10 Questions to Ask Before You List Your Home

Below are 10 simple but very important questions to ask any agent or broker trying to list your home or property. 

Make sure to ask an agent these 10 questions BEFORE you list your home or property!

1. Do they have Caps (Limits) on their Commissions?

• Michigan Listing.com Full-Service and Flat Fee listings do... If they don't, you're simply paying too much to sell your property in Michigan!

2. Do they include Virtual Tours for all of their Listings?

• Michigan Listing.com does... Virtual Tours are a must when marketing your home online. Our MLS programs include a 3-6 scene virtual tour, standard with every EZ-Listing,  Full-Service and Flat Fee listing! The tours are optional for the Michigan Listing too!

3. Will your Listing be a "Showcase Listing" on Realtor.com?

• All Michigan Listing.com Full-Service and Flat Fee listings do... A "Showcase" listing includes scrolling text, enhanced (5 additional picture) photo layout, additional text description, links to Virtual Tours and more! It's a must have in online marketing!

4. Do they offer "Sell By Owner" options?

• Michigan Listing.com does... See the EZ-Listing! We are the only Full-Service real estate company offering you the option to "Sell By Owner" and save even more! 
• This is a better alternative to selling "For Sale By Owner".

5. Will your Listing be in the monthly "Real Estate Book"?

• Michigan Listing.com does... See our Full Service program. This full-color glossy marketing book, seen in hundreds of Michigan locations, offers real estate marketing unlike any other! If they don't advertise here, your home or land is not being properly marketed!

6. Are you a Real Estate Broker - or just another Agent?

• Michigan Listing.com associates are Brokers & Realtors... Compare an intern to a specialist, someone who has gone the extra mile in their real estate career. There are no part-timers at Michigan Listing.com!
• Check your agent at the State of Michigan Licensing Board!

7. Do they pay Selling Brokers 3% or something less?

• Michigan Listing.com does... This is a MUST!
• It is very important to insure your listing is shown by other Brokers. Paying less than a 3% co-op selling commission will make your listing less-desirable for other agents to show. A typical 6% sales commission pays the Listing Broker 3% and whomever sells the property a 3% (co-op) commission. We offer the best of both worlds; we don't charge 6% but we offer 3% to a Buyer's Agent! 

Fewer Showings = Fewer Buyers!

8. Do they have a Toll Free office number?

• Michigan Listing.com does! This is very important to out-of-town agents and buyers looking to re-locate to your area! Our Toll Free number is (877) 837-8813

9. How long have they been selling Real Estate?

• Michigan Listing.com is a new company - open since 2004...
• Our Broker and founder has been selling real estate in Michigan nearly 13 Years! Find out why this knowledge could make a huge difference in your sale! Compare us to other companies!

10. Do they offer Three Programs to choose from - or just one?

• Michigan Listing.com offers three unique programs... Compare Us to the others! Nobody else can compete - or offer you so much!
• The EZ-Listing - A better alternative to "For Sale By Owner"
• The Flat Fee program coordinates all the confusing elements to make things easy! Virtual Tours, "Showcase Listing" on Realtor.com and more - with commission caps to help you either save more money or price your home more competitively! Our most popular plan provides professional real estate services from "Contract to Closing"
