1. MLS with Home Clearinghouse creates a Realtor & Owner Partnership. We want you to be involved and fully informed throughout the selling process, because the best partner we can have is an educated consumer, and nobody knows a property as well as its owner.
  You believe you can sell your home on your own- we know you can. Our fee-for-service real estate model allow you to do as much - or as little- as you want. The more you do on your own, the more you save. But you only have to do as much as you are comfortable with. because our experienced Realtors are available every step along the way,to provide you with quality Realtor Support whenever it is needed.
         Understanding MLS
  MLS was created   "by Realtors - for Realtors". MLS access requires - an active Real Estate License in the state services are provided; active membership in both the National Association of Realtors and a Local Board of Realtors; a contract & paid membership with the prevailing MLS service company.   Every MLS member must adhere to the Realtors Code of Ethics and all the rules and regulations set by their MLS service.
  
  There is no such thing as a "national" MLS service. While MLS is usually statewide, there can be several MLS services within a state. Each service has its own set of rules & fines they charge for violating the rules. Rules can differ between services, but here are important rules that are common to most MLS services.
  
  1. To list on MLS each owner MUST have a contract with only one Realtor, who becomes the "broker of record". In this partnership Home Clearinghouse will become your "broker of record", and your fiduciary agent, which means we are required by state law to serve you with Obedience, Loyalty, Diligence, Disclosure, Confidentiality,
  Competence, Accountability & Reasonable Care
  
  2. MLS is " cooperation with compensation". Every MLS Listing MUST state a fee that will be paid to the Selling Realtor.
  In the MLS partnership, you decide how much the cooperating fee will be. You do not pay more than the fee you choose, even if you enroll in one of our programs with a "back end" fee. Our fees are never "in addition to" the cooperating fee, they are taken out of the cooperating fee you name.
  
  3. Sellers' website addresses CAN NOT be specified or linked to the MLS listing. Your featured listing on this website can be linked to your own website.
