| As a seller, you have many options when considering who to use to help you sell your home.
There are many national real estate companies that are very good at what they do. The problem is that they
charge a very high commission, usually around 5-6% of the total sale price of your property.
Ulistit.com is different, as Realtors®, we know that the listing
agent does very little in the actual selling of your home. Listing agents mostly function as processors, filling
out the listing forms and then uploading your info to the local MLS and placing a sign in your yard. While this
is a needed service, it is hardly worth giving the agent 50% of the commission to do so. | |

With the use of technology, we have put the power of the MLS in your hands. By answering some simple questions
online, your listing is completed in minutes. We supply the signs, marketing materials and legal forms. Seem simple?
It really is just that simple, but why would an agent tell you that, after all they have every incentive to make it look
very complicated so they can justify the high commission they are charging.
