Seamless and Easy Process

Flat Fee MLS Realty provides a great service without the need to spend thousands of dollars. My transaction with them went seamlessly from the beginning until the very end. They were also very easy to communicate with. Loved how effortlessly it was to confirm showings and answer agents' questions. I will be using them again for all of my real estate sale transactions in the future.

Okay service, but dropped the ball

Okay service, but dropped the ball

I had used an MLS listing agent in the past that was very good. So I was disappointed by the lack of service and response with this agency. Never ever got to speak with Stephen Lachey. He has a team of minions who respond to calls. If you ask for the person you spoke with before, they are always busy and whoever answers the call will handle your questions. That's Okay. But what is NOT okay is that they cost me $10,000 above asking, on my first offer received on the house. Their lack of response to the Buyer's agent was lazy and negligent. The Buyer's agent apparently submitted the offer through email and not the designated portal. Instead of responding to the agent with urgency, or informing me what was going on, there was a lag time. When inquired of the buyer's agent about this offer I never got to see after 2-day delay, I was in shock. By the time we got to day 3, I called the agent and she stated the buyer decided to withdraw the offer out of frustration! He had a job starting in the area and wanted that contract immediately. Other offers came in, one lowball, but finally one at asking. I sold the house within 7 days. And I only had to pay the Buyer's agent commission of 3%. And the closing costs and fees were as stated. So I was satisfied at the end.

Great way to sell your house!

Great way to sell your house!

Great way to sell your house. Literally save Thousands. My experience has 100% been that the listing agent only lists the house. The buyer's agent is the one that brings the buyer in. This is the do it yourself of selling Real Estate. On a $300k house you save (7,500 at 2.5%) to (9,000 at 3%) depending on what percentage you agree to pay Buyer's agent. I literally would have saved over 20K if I would have started this 5 years ago. I'm sharing this with everyone I know that's selling their house.

Exceeded Our Expectations!

Exceeded Our Expectations!

We were looking for a way to sell our home as FSBOs. At first, getting our home on the MILS was the most important feature of the services provided by FFMLSR. What we didn't expect was a turnkey operation. Stephen's organization, team, and partners enabled us to rest assured that the sale of our home was managed legally and efficiently. The buyer's agent didn't particularly care for FFMLSR but all went well. From the time that our listing hit the MLS until closing was forty-four days. We barely had time to pack, load and take care of the few repairs on our home. In reality, we could have closed ten days earlier if the buyer had not added an addendum. We were blessed to receive a full-price offer from the first buyer to whom we showed our home. In fact, the sale price of our home set a record for the sale of homes in our small neighborhood. Plus, we were able to keep more of the profit in our pockets

Saved me over $6,000

Stephen and his Flat Fee MLS Agency were great. I wrote up my own listing text and in exchange, they provided me with dramatically reduced fees, saving me over $6,000 in seller's agent fees on a Bradenton, FL condo sale. Everything went smoothly, and on the few moments where there were questions, the staff were great to deal with. The offer process went smoothly and efficiently. Very satisfied, I would use his services again for selling a property.

Excellent experience utilizing Flat Fee MLS

Steve Hachey through Flat Fee MLS successfully assisted in selling my Condo exactly as advertised on Flat Fee MLS, and saving a considerable commission paid only to the buyers agent. The process was effective for those that have had experience buying or selling real estate. I would gladly recommend this fruitful service. Flat Fee staff were courteous and helpful in every way. Thank You.

Smooth and reliable Service

We sold our house on the water. With Stephen and his Team, we always felt in good hands. Excellent electronic tools support the process, and we always had an overview of what is going on. There was also the possibility to call the Team whenever necessary. I can recommend working with Stephen and his Team.
