Broker commission rates can vary depending on many factors (e.g. property type, location, market conditions., etc.) therefore we cannot state a particular rate without evaluating your property and individual situation . Rate and terms can be discussed with any of our brokers via a free no obligation consultation. We always work to come to a mutually beneficial and fair solution.

For full service listings, listing terms are typically 3-6 months, but can vary beyond this range depending on property type, market conditions and both yours and the individual broker's situation. This can be discussed via a free no obligation consultation.

A Flat Fee MLS listing is a limited service/representation type listing designed for By Owner sellers who want their property listed on the same MLS Realtors use to list and sell property, all while maintaining their right to sell on their own and represent themselves. Rather than paying a listing agent a typical commission at closing, sellers will only pay a one-time upfront flat fee to a listing agent to get their property listed on the multiple listing service.

Unlike a full service/traditional listing where an agent would provide more extensive marketing and advertising for your property and represent you fully (e.g. list your property on the MLS, hold open houses, assist with negotiations and communications on your behalf, handle paperwork, etc.), with Flat Fee MLS listings you are also listed on the MLS and would receive the specific services listed in your package selection. You also would represent yourself.

We usually have your listing active on the MLS within 24-48 hours (most often less) of us receiving all necessary information about you and your property. Same day listings are possible if we receive all necessary information and/or documentation by 10:00AM Pacific Standard time. Please contact us or specify in the listing process if you need expedited service. We are happy to do our best to get you listed in your desired time frame, if possible.

REALTOR.COM®, Zillow.com, Trulia.com and various other syndicated real estate websites are their own separate entity, so while we cannot guarantee when exactly your property listing will appear on these other websites, it will typically be within the same day and likely within minutes.

The multiple listing services (MLS) we belong to (RMLS & NWMLS) do not allow sellers' contact information to be displayed on Public MLS data. It is required that the listing broker's contact info be displayed to the public. However, your contact info and showing instructions will be the primary and available to all Realtor® members of the MLS your property is listed on. PLEASE NOTE: All inquiries that we do received from the public will be expeditiously forwarded/directed to you. Typically within 1-3 hours of receipt and often less. EXAMPLE: A buyer contacts us via email and/or leaves us a voice message inquiring about your listing which they happen to see on Zillow.com. Once we receive the message, we will forward you the email or voice message and leave it up to you to contact that prospect.

All offers of compensation to real estate professionals is fully negotiable. You have the right to decide if and how much you want to compensate a buyer's agent, if one is involved in the sales transaction.

Unless you select our Professional Photo Service option, we do not take photos of your property. You will need to provide us with your own digital photos. Please email us your applicable number of photos in the order you would like them posted to your listing. Photos can be emailed to: photos@premiertrust-realty.com

Photos can be emailed to: photos@premiertrust-realty.com Please email us your applicable number of photos in the order you would like them posted to your listing. Keep photo file sizes small or send us larger files using a zip file.

Yes, you are welcome to upgrade to a full service traditional listing with us anytime. You would just need to contact us for a free no obligation consultation. We offer a variety of programs and a comprehensive and unique marketing plan.

You can cancel your Flat Fee MLS listing at anytime with advance written notice and as long as there is not then a pending contract for sale on your property that would result in a commission due to any real estate broker.

Even though you would be representing yourself with our Flat Fee MLS listing services, you are still technically listed with a real estate brokerage so by law our contact info must be on the sign. You are welcome to add your contact info via your own sign rider or other method to go along with our sign.

There are no refunds after purchase. Please be 100% certain before purchasing any of our online services.

While our commission rate for representing buyers can vary depending on each individual buyer's situation, we typically try to earn our commissions by negotiating with the seller so ideally you, as the buyer, will not have to come out of pocket for our services. We are always transparent with what our rates and our agreements will outline this. By law, before we can show you property we have to have a mutually signed Buyer's Service Agreement with you disclosing exactly how much we can earn and explaining how much you could potentially pay. Feel free to contact us anytime to discuss.

Yes, we work with first time home buyers all the way up to seasoned investors. We have a variety of resources we can connect you with to help your first time purchase go smoothly (e.g. reputable lenders, inspectors, etc.).

For starters, we offer friendly, no pressure service mixed with great communication and effective marketing. Also, as you can see we offer a variety of flexible programs, affordable rates and do not charge any early listing cancellation fees. With Full Service, we also typically only ask for a 3-6 month listing term to get your home sold and will provide you with upfront, competitive and realistic market values/pricing opinions. Watch out for those who try to overvalue your home, as this is often a strategy to just influence you to list with them. Statistics show pricing correctly and competitively from the beginning most often yields much better returns. An overpriced home that has been sitting on the market for an abnormally long period of time is not what you want!
