 help keep other realtors in line
Home clearinghouse has been fee for service for 6 years, yet other realtors  still bother our clients, AND WORSE, TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF OUR CLIENTS,BY claiming THAT they "don't understand how we work".
THEY SHOULD,
AS MEMBERS OF MLS THEY SHOULD KNOW THAT WE
WORK THE SAME WAY THEY DO - IT SAYS SO IN EVERY MLS LISTING! THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS HOW MUCH YOU ARE PAYING US (A LOT LESS THAN YOU WOULD PAY THEM) WHICH IS NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS, AND THEY KNOW IT.

ONCE YOU ARE LISTED WITH US TELL ALL OTHER REALTORS THAT YOU ARE REPRESENTED BY HOME CLEARINGHOUSE  Home Clearinghouse, as your Listing Broker MUST be the "point of 1st contact". Other Realtors CAN NOT contact you directly for any reason without first contacting us - & THEY KNOW IT..

DO NOT TELL OTHER REALTORS THAT YOU ARE
A FOR SALE BY OWNER SELLER -
YOU ARE NOT,
 AND THEY MIGHT TRY TO  USE THAT STATEMENT TO YOUR DISADVANTAGE.

NEVER DISCUSS ANY TERMS, SELLING PRICE OR COMMISSION RATES UNLESS YOU ARE RESPONDING TO A WRITTEN OFFER. THIS RULE APPLIES TO BOTH  REALTORS AND  PRIVATE BUYERS - EVEN IF  YOU ARE WILLING
TO MAKE CONCESSIONS, ACCEPT LESS THAN YOUR SELLING PRICE, OR PAY ANOTHER REALTOR A HIGHER COMMISSION.  JUST TELL ANYBODY WHO ASKS WHAT YOU ARE WILLING TO DO FOR THEM (OR THEIR CLIENT) THAT YOU WILL CONSIDER ANY  REASONABLE OFFERS THAT IS PRESENTED IN WRITING... AND TELL OTHER REALTORS TO INFORM  HOME CLEARINGHOUSE FIRST.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 


   

 


 

 

 
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.
The more you can do on your own, the more you can save. But you only have to do  tasks you're comfortable with - we do the rest.
Fee-for Service Realtor Support allows you to choose the services you need and provides you with a safety net that keeps things going well.


      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 an exclusive 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. Once you have contracted with us, 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.
