10 Possible Worst Flat Fee Referral Companies

The war against "Flat Fee Referral Companies"... Yes, it's a war out there.  As Michigan's #1 Flat Fee MLS Direct & Local Listing service, we are  THE member of the local MLS that input and oversee your listing.   These other "Flat Fee Referral Companies are not licensed real estate companies.

It's a war fighting these referral companies with their deep pockets and huge programming budgets attempting to sway you, the consumer / home seller to list with them.  

BEWARE!   These companies below are NOT licensed real estate companies!

As a licensed Realtor, we must first understand that you cannot do a Flat Fee MLS Listing without a Realtor. That Realtor or licesned real estate company must me a member of the local MLS board to actually input your listing into the MLS.    All of the companies below ARE NOT Realtors but also represent that they can provide advise or assistance to sellers.   NOTE: You must be a licensed real estate agent to provide assistance or help with home sellers in our state.

Many of these companies represent they can help you... They cannot. They tend to have great programming and not only take your buyer leads but attempt to run your listing, leads, showings, offers and anything else through your site.  Attempting to run things through their site is the worst way to do things.  Realtors tend to avoid doing things the difficult way, going through these "Referral sites"...

Selling your home is typically one of the most stressful things in life. It's usually your largest asset too. This means you want the best. The best BBB rating, the most competent broker handling things to lower the stress level.

Reasons why you should not list with referral companies:

1. They are not real estate companies.
2. They are not the member of the mls to input your listing.
3. They will capture any for sale by owner lead and sell it for profit.
4. They make it very hard for agents to show your home.
5. They are control freaks trying to be the new standard and platform running everything through their site.
6. They only care about profit, not you nor the success of your home sale.
7. They can not offer advise or help with the sale of your property.
8. They are NOT licensed, therefore it is illegal for them to offer advise.
