Good news for all experienced home sellers that are looking to sell their home by owner.
A new company called Iggys House is offering free MLS listings in 20 different states covering over 65% of the United States real estate market, Inman News reports. The service is available in California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and Washington.
In a press release the company’s CEO Joseph Fox said: “By breaking open the MLS we are providing over $500 million worth of services for free to millions of home buyers each year”
“For the 1.1 million people who try to ‘sell by owner’, we provide incredible exposure to millions of buyers via the MLS. For the over 400,000 sellers who pay a fee to be MLS-listed, we now offer it for free” Fox continued.
If you’re not comfortable selling your home yourself, then Iggys House is not for you.
You would be the primary contact for your MLS listing and Iggys House does not offer sellers any personal help.
If you’re comfortable doing this then Iggys House will save you $250-400 that flat-fee MLS brokers normally charge to list your home.
