Oneflatfee.ca gives it’s clients the best of both the worlds. You can sell FSBO (For Sale By Owner) while being on MLS ® and you can also cooperate with Realtors® by offering them a buying side commission. The most common form of commission in today’s market is 3.22% on the first 100K and 1.15% (in the lower mainland) on the balance. If you offer this commission then you are on a level playing field with your competition. Thanks to the Real Estate rule changes in March 2010, owners can sell their home privately while being on the MLS®. Of course only a handful of Real Estate agents are working the For Sale By Owner model with Oneflatfee.ca being the first one to enter the market. With the ever growing popularity of FSBO, the process is now evolving into a more cost effective and responsive approach.

More and more people nowadays are searching homes for sale in BC on Social media and other sites outside the www.realtor.ca/ MLS®.ca

The “For Sale by Owner” way of selling is way more effective if you are on top of your game. There are certain key things that don’t cost much but will definitely help you sell your home and for more money.

Here are a few tips to help you sell your own home for more money and faster:

• One of the cheapest things to do is to have a clean yard with the lawn mowed and give the prospective buyers a neat welcome. Blow away any leaves or other debris and keep the entrance nice and tidy.
• Another very cost effective thing to do to a home to increase its perceived value is to paint the outside. As they say “a first impression lasts for ever.” Try keeping neutral colours for the inside of the house. Greys and browns are pretty good colours for the inside common areas.
• Decluttering is a big thing. Let there be space to move about inside the house. Less is more.
• Roll up the blinds and let the light come in. This always works well. People like to see how well lit the home is that they are buying.
