Choices
Instead of offering just one, expensive marketing program like most real estate companies, Assist-2-Sell offices offer sellers a "menu" of services. From a paperwork-only low "flat fee" to a full-blown Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) marketing program. Sellers can choose the program that they feel they want and need to sell their home.

"MLS for Less" Marketing Program
Why do sellers often pay real estate agents 6% or 7% to sell their home?
Because it works! The Multiple Listing Service (MLS®) is the single most powerful marketing tool in place today to sell homes.
Most homes around the country sell through the MLS system. The power of MLS is cooperation and compensation. Most homes do not sell by the listing offices! In actuality, most sales involve two different offices, a listing office and a selling office.
This means that it is not as important which office you choose to list your home as it is that your home is listed in the MLS.
You can pay less and still get MLS
Assist-2-Sell allows you to enjoy the full power of MLS while paying less.
Here's how it works
When you list with a traditional agent, they place your home into the MLS. The listing office offers to share the total commission you are paying with the other MLS agents. This compensation is their incentive to sell your home.
Assist-2-Sell offers MLS!
All Assist-2-Sell offices are REALTORS® and members of the local MLS®. Assist-2-Sell offers you the option of placing your home in the same MLS system at a lower total commission. Just like the traditional offices, we share the commission with MLS agents, so they have the same incentive to sell your home as all the other homes in the MLS. In most cases, the cooperating agents earn the same selling commission they are accustomed to receiving because Assist-2-Sell absorbs the "discounted" portion of the total commission.
How can we sell homes for lower commission?
Volume. By charging a very competitive, lower commission Assist-2-Sell generally attracts a higher number of listings than traditional agents. We can afford to make less on each sale when we well more homes.

"Direct to Buyers" Marketing Program
While there is no question that MLS is a very powerful marketing tool, it may not be necessary to sell your home. Most real estate agents offer just one marketing program which primarily focuses on placing your home in the MLS and having other agents sell it. At Assist-2-Sell, we believe you deserve choices, and we recognize that. Depending on the current market conditions in your area, we may be able to find a buyer without relying on other agents. Many home sellers like the idea of trying out Direct-To-Buyers marketing program.
How does it work?
As the name implies, our marketing efforts are directed to buyers rather than MLS agents. In order for a buyer to purchase your home, they first need to know it is available. We call this exposure. We expose your home to buyers utilizing the following primary marketing avenues.
Signs
Buyers tend to drive through neighborhoods in which they are interested. A surprising number of homes sell from buyers seeing a sign.
Advertising
Buyers tend to read the local publications where homes are advertised. This, of course, varies from area to area. At Assist-2-Sell we utilize the most effective publications. We advertise to attract buyers so our ads are informative, not fluffy. Your agent will review the advertising strategy they use in your area.
Word of Mouth
Mention to someone you are selling and they might know of someone interested in buying. With a traditional office you help find the buyer, and they, most likely, will still charge you the full commission. At Assist-2-Sell, you enjoy a lower fee if you help find the buyer.
Other
When you think about it, there really aren't too many other ways to let buyers know that your home is available. The only thing missing under our Direct-To-Buyer program is the MLS. We offer the MLS as an option.
What else is included in our Direct-To-Buyer program?
While programs may vary slightly at different Assist-2-Sell offices around the country, the basics are usually the same.
Yes! We show your home!
Buyers call our office from seeing the advertising or the signs, and one of our agents will set up an appointment to show your home to the buyer.
Yes! We negotiate the purchase agreement!
If the buyer is interested in buying your home, we will handle the negotiating and all the paperwork.
Yes! We oversee the closing process!
There are many details involved that require expert attention once the purchase agreement is accepted. Our agents work the same as traditional agents to assure that everything that needs to be done, gets done. This includes woring with the lender, appraiser, inspectors, attorneys, and escrow companies.
And, of course, we only get paid for results!
If we don't sell your home, you don't owe us anything. We have confidence and a proven success record. We don't charge up-front fees, and there are no hidden costs.
"MLS 4 SALE BY OWNER" PROGRAM!"
If you want to retain the right to sell your property yourself without paying a commission, then consider our "MLS 4-Sale-By-Owner" program. We will put your property onto the local MLS for a fee of only $599.00 for the Marco Island MLS and only $199.00 for any additional MLS you choose! Your property can be exposed to over 8000 local Realtors for a full initial six months! This program also puts your property into Realtor.com the nation's most widely used real estate website! For a limited time we are offering a free Virtual Tour with this program...a $99.00 value!
We upload your listing with the Virtual Tour and 8 photos of your property. You determine the cooperating broker's fee. If you sell the property yourself while it's listed, you pay no commission!
