Does the sellSmart! Listing Plan apply to any house?
Yes and no. It applies to to any house not facing foreclosure or in the process of being foreclosed. It does not apply to homes that would be a short sale. If your listing starts out not as a short sale and unfortunately becomes a short sale, our closing fees will increase to the short sale fee amount. sellSmart! also does not apply to new construction developments or bank owned sales. Both of these types of listings are addressed under the Seller section of this website.
When exactly is the setup fee due for the sellSmart or the FSBO-Assist listing plans?
You will be given an invoice when the listing contract and other paperwork is done. The invoice is due by the agreed upon listing date. If payment is not received by the listing date, publishing of the listing will be delayed until we have received payment.
Are the setup fees refundable?
No.
What happens if I run out of flyers in a given month?
Full-color flyers can be an expensive part of maintaining a listing and the most varied in terms of how many you’ll need and for how long. The most flyers are used in the first month and then the demand tapers off in subsequent months. We’ve designed our service offering around that by giving you 100 flyers to start off and then 50 flyers per month. This should be more than adequate for most listings. If you are still in need of additional flyers in a given month, please make your request through your listing agent or contact us directly.
What if I need to take the house off the market for a while? Do I need to pay the setup fee again when I’m ready to re-list?
You can take the house off the market at any time. Please make your request through your listing agent. When you’re ready to re-list, assuming all of the existing work can be re-used when you re-list , you will only pay a $100 re-listing fee. The $100 covers our costs to get the house back on the market. If the original sign post was not removed, the re-list fee is lowered to $65.
If I choose one of the optional print advertising services, do I get a choice of which newspaper or magazine my ad will be placed in?
Absolutely. It would make little sense to only publish in one publication when your area may favor a different publication. Payment for the ad will be required before we send the advertisement off to the newspaper or magazine.
What is the turn-around time to get a listing on the market?
We have a roughly 1-week turnaround time from when photographs are taken.
