Q:      CO-BROKE. WHAT IS THAT? I PAY THE BUYERS AGENT?

A:     Yes. In order to place your property into the Multiple Listing Service you need to offer a  commission to the Realtor that brings and shows your home to the Buyer.  The Buyers agent in Florida Gets Paid by the Seller. If you don't offer a commission, Realtors don't show your home to their qualified Buyers! You can offer an amount in the form of a commission or a Flat Fee.  We Highly recommend at the lowest, a 3% commission. Just like your Home's Selling Price should be competitive with other homes, your Commission to Buyer Agents should be too.  The standard Co-Broke or Buyers Agents Commission offering is 3%. You can offer more, and you can even offer a Commission plus a Dollar Amount, like:  3% Plus $2000. 

Q:      WHAT IS THE MLS ANYWAY?

A:     MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service.  The MLS is a local database of homes for sale by REALTORS. Other REALTORS use the MLS to find homes for their clients.  Approximately 90% of homes are sold through REALTORS!  Only Licensed REALTORS have access to the MLS and it's thousands of homes available.  However, once listed in the MLS, there are literally thousands of PUBLIC websites that pull the homes information from it and display for the PUBLIC to view.
