An Alternative to High Priced Commissions

Flat Fee MLS Listing for your Hickory, NC area real estate is a growing trend within conventional brokerage. While Flat Fee MLS Listing is not intended to replace traditional, full service brokerage, it's a prudent alternative for sellers who are able to assist in marketing and negotiating their property sale. Our Flat Fee MLS Listing enables sellers to save thousands of dollars in commissions and retain control of the sales transaction.

With Flat Fee MLS Listing, your property is placed in the database of the local Multiple Listing Service with complete information and photographs. Patriot will list your property in the Catawba Valley MLS and the Burke County MLS. This exposes your property to about 1300 local Realtors with buyers of their own. The Centralized Showing Service will call you to arrange an appointment to show your property using the lockbox Patriot will provide. You will have access to agent feedback via your own webpage. In addition, to MLS exposure, your property will be listed on Realtor.com, PatriotNC. com, Google and Yahoo real estate classifieds, and about 90 other websites. Once an offer is generated, it will be presented directly to you.

Patriot's charges a flat fee of $495 for this service. Compare this to a traditional listing fee of 3%. On a $150,000 property, you will save $4005!

You will only pay a sales commission if a real estate agent sells your home, and you control how much that commission will be.

You retain the right to sell the property yourself and pay no sales commission.

You pay no listing commission, but a fixed, upfront fee, instead.

Patriot will list your property for one year, but you may cancel the contract at any time.
