2) Do I pay the listing fee and transaction coordinat
ion fee upfront or at closing? The listing fee and transaction fees must be paid first in order to start the process.
3) What forms of payment do you offer to pay the fees? Venmo and Zelle are the only forms of payment accept.
4) Once payment is made, what’s next? I will send you the agreement to sign along with the disclosures and addendums. Once the agreement is signed, we can schedule the consultation via phone or in person.
5) How do I receive leads and inquiries? Your contact information will be placed in the “Realtor remarks” section of the listing for agents to contact you directly for showings and information. If for some reason an agent contacts me directly or if it’s a lead from another source, I will text and email you the information immediately. I’m always checking my email and texts. Of course, if it’s after 11pm, I will send to you the next morning. I will set up a “Request a showing” plan that agents can go on and schedule directly as well.
6) Do I have to pay a commission to a buyer’s agent? Yes, when you choose a flat fee listing service, you are agreeing to cooperate with agents and brokers who represent buyers by paying them a commission. The commission ranges between 2%-3% of the contract price.
7) Are there any additional fees or costs to Bay Harbour Properties? Other than the flat fee listing or transaction coordination fees, there are no additional fees. If you need a professional photographer, I will recommend one to you that you would contact and pay directly to him.
8) Can I cancel the listing at anytime? Yes, there are no penalties to cancel. However, the fees are non-refundable
9) How many revisions or updates do I get for my listing? The initial listing will be sent to you for review before going live. That is the ideal time for revision request. I will write the description or you can provide me with your own. After that, if you want additional changes or price adjustments just let me know!
10) Can I still sell my home as by owner while on the MLS? Yes, you can advertise on other platforms such as social media. You’re not able to add your own on Zillow, Hotpads or Trulia.. They’re owned by Zillow and they don’t allow duplicate listings to avoid spam.
11) Does your brokerage hold the escrow deposit? No, I do not. A title company holds the escrow deposit. A seller is also not allowed the hold the escrow deposit.
12) Do you have a title company you recommend? Can I use my own? Yes, I have two title companies that I use which provide excellent service and reasonable fees that range between $300-$600. I do not receive any referral or kickback fee from them.
13) What if I need a lockbox? I provide them for a fee of $45. Or you can purchase your own on Amazon, Home Depot or Lowes.
14) How long will the listing be on the MLS
For as long as you need it to be. We start with a 6 month contract and extend from there if needed.
15) How do I upload my photos for you to put on the MLS
If you choose to send your own photos rather than having a photographer, you can email them in a zip file, google drive or dropbox.
16) What if I want a professional photographer? Do you have one? Yes, I have a photographer I can recommend or you can choose your own. Just google real estate photographers in your area.
17) What if I change my mind and decide to use an agent? Yes, you can. Not sure why you would want to with the level of service you will receive from me!
18) Do you charge a fee to a buyer’s agent? Yes, a transaction fee of $400 is charged to a buyer’s agent or buyer which is paid at closing by them not you.
19) Do you pre-qualify buyers? When an offer is received, proof of funds or pre-approval letter must be included. I verify the accuracy of them.
20) How do I receive offers when submitted by a buyer or buyer agent? I require agents to email me the offer in addition to sending you. We won’t accept verbal offers or negotiate with a verbal offer. They will be asked to submit in writing so we have all pertinent information for you to make a decision. If they only send to me, I will forward to you immediately Time is of the essence.
21) What if I want to add transaction coordination after a contract has been negotiated. You can add this service as long as it is before the expiration of the inspection period. After that, I cannot assist with that.
22) What happens if the contract falls through, do I have to pay another fee? No, there are no additional fees. If a contract falls through, it will go back into active status and we will start over. If a contract falls through or is cancelled after any of the contingencies expire, I will assist in the deposit being released to you. We will discuss this thoroughly as there are many variables to this situation. Let’s get started!
