Consider the following:

• We pioneered flat fee MLS listings, and we still do them better.
• While some companies may offer to list your property for a slightly lower flat fee, their services don't match ours in the number of photos offered, the availablity of a Realtor.com showcase, or the length of the listing term. Often, they don't even include a yard sign or lockbox!
• Our affiliate broker network is strongly established. We have worked with our brokers for a number of years, and hold them to the same standard of excellence we maintain for ourselves.
• Why risk listing with someone less established? See the benefits of an established reputation with consumers and within the real estate community.
