UList4Sale.com -- Big Plans for a Big Idea - Selling Real Estate in NJ and the USA

After six months of operations in New Jersey, UList4Sale.com is quickly becoming NJs source for selling your home. UList4Sale.com is not a discount realtor where low commissions are split between the listing agent and the buyers agent. Many discount realtors only offer the buyers agent 1 percent of the commission.

UList4Sale.com difference is that there is only a small flat fee to the listing office of $299. The commission offered goes fully to the buyers agent -- which cuts the total commission in half when compared to a traditional real estate sale. With home sale statistics showing that three out of every four homes sold are transacted by a buyers agent, it is the buyers agent that needs to be motivated to get your home sold. The traditional listing realtors tell that you need a big name listing realtor, but most likely that big name realtor is not going to sell your house. It is the network of realtors (in a multitude of offices) participating in the MLS and Realtor.com that sell your house. The UList4Sale.com local realtor markets homes in the MLS, Showcase Realtor.com, and eleven portals (such as AOL, MSN, Juno, etc.) which provide great exposure.... (Continue reading)
