LIMITED SERVICE

Under this listing program, MLS ASAP! is providing limited representation services.  As such, you (the Seller) are responsible for all showing arrangements with Buyers and Buyer Agents, offering negotiations, escrow, settlement and closing.  As is typical in the real estate industry, Buyer Agents usually present their offers through the listing brokerage (our brokerage firm).  Upon receipt of any offer on your property, we will notify you and deliver the offer to you via fax, email and/or our website (mlsasap.com).  We do not negotiate your offer.

* You (the Seller) reserve the right to sell your home to a Buyer, who you have procured on your own (without the assistance of a Buyer’s Agent). In which case, you will not pay a commission to anyone.

** MLS ASAP! agrees to submit the Seller’s listing to the MLS within twenty four (24) hours based upon the time we receive the following items: receipt of payment, signed “Agency Disclosure Form”, signed “Exclusive Facilitator Listing Agreement” and completed “MLS Listing Input Form”.

*** You may cancel your Listing Agreement, with us, at any time (except when an offer is being procured, negotiated or agreed upon), by written notice, free of charge.

**** MLS Rules and Regulations prohibit displaying a yard sign, which displays the words “By Owner”.  MLS Rules and Regulations permit displaying a MLS ASAP! yard sign or a generic sign, which does not include the words “By Owner”.

Additional MLS Listing Categories

Order Additional MLS Listing Categories

Before your listing can be submitted to the MLS, you (the Seller) must assign it to a “listing category”.

The Multiple Listing Service, Property Information Network, Inc. (mlspin.com), which is the largest MLS network within the state of Massachusetts, offers the following eight (8) “listing categories”.

  • Business Opportunity
  • Commercial / Industrial
  • Condominium / Co-op
  • Land
  • Mobile Home
  • Multi Family
  • Residential Rental
  • Single Family

Most of the time, it is obvious, which category best suits your listing.  Other times it might not be because two (2) or more categories may reasonably apply.

Listing brokers often utilize more than one (1) category for a listing in order to fully maximize its potential.

MLS ASAP! advises you to consider the following ways to effectively utilize these eight (8) listing categories.

1.) List your single family home “For Sale” and “For Rent”

2.) List your multi family home “For Sale” as a multi family and “For Sale” as a single family

  • This is a sales technique that is utilized by brokers, who want to expose their multi family listing to the single family buyer.
  • If you chose to utilize this technique, MLS ASAP! will require that language be included within your listing, which clearly states the legal use of your property is a multi family.  Without this language, your listing would be viewed by the brokerage community as “deceptive”.
  • This sales technique is generally accepted by the brokerage community as “reasonable”; since, most communities permit a multi family’s legal use to be easily converted to a single family.

3.) List your condominium “For Sale” as a condominium and “For Sale” as a single family

  • This is a sales technique that is utilized by brokers, who want to expose their condominium listing to the single family buyer.
  • If you chose to utilize this technique, MLS ASAP! will require that language be included within your listing, which clearly states the legal use of your property is a condominium.  Without this language, your listing would be viewed by the brokerage community as “deceptive”.
  • This sales technique is generally accepted by the brokerage community as “not reasonable”; since most communities do not permit a condominium’s legal use to be easily converted to a single family.
  • MLS ASAP! advises you not to utilize this sales technique; however, it’s your choice.

4.) List your multi family home “For Sale” and each individual unit “For Rent”

5.) List your multi family home “For Sale” as a multi family and each individual unit “For Sale” as a condominium unit

  • This is a sales technique that is utilized by brokers, who want to expose their multi-family listing to the condominium buyer.
  • If you chose to utilize this technique, MLS ASAP! will require that language be included within your listing, which clearly states the legal use of your property is a multi family.  Without this language, your listing would be viewed by the brokerage community as “deceptive”.
  • This sales technique is generally accepted by the brokerage community as “reasonable”; since most communities permit a multi family’s legal use to be easily converted to a condominium.

6.) List your home “For Sale” and also as “Land”

  • This is a sales technique that is utilized by brokers, who want to expose their listing to developers, who are looking for buildable land.
  • This technique is typically utilized when the improvements (home) add minimal contributory value to the land value.
  • If you chose to utilize this technique, MLS ASAP! will require that language be included within your listing, which clearly states the land is “not vacant” but rather “in need of tear down”.  Without this language, your listing would be viewed by the brokerage community as “deceptive”.
  • This sales technique is generally accepted by the brokerage community as “reasonable”.

7.) List your residential but commercially / industrially zoned home “For Sale” as both “residential” and “commercial / industrial”

  • This is a sales technique that is utilized by brokers, who want to expose their residential but commercially / industrially zoned listing to both marketplaces.
  • If you chose to utilize this technique, MLS ASAP! will require that language be included within your listing, which clearly states the legal use of your property is residential as well as language, which clearly states that “the buyer is responsible for determining permitted uses”.  Without this language, your listing would be viewed by the brokerage community as “deceptive”.
  • This sales technique is generally accepted by the brokerage community as “reasonable”.

8.) List your commercial / industrial property for “For Sale”, “For Lease” and/or as a “Business Opportunity”

  • “Business Opportunity” refers to the concept of selling “just the business” (the going-concern value) and/or the “leasehold” value (a tenant’s interest in real estate, especially under a long-term lease at below market rates).
  • Often, the “Business Opportunity” section is utilized when a seller wants to list the “full package” (the real estate value plus the going-concern value).

A LITTLE ABOUT US…

MLS ASAP charges you a small, one-time flat fee to enter and maintain your home's 'For Rent' and/or 'For Sale' listing in Massachusetts' Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
