MLS is the Most Powerful Tool for Selling Homes
- MLS is the database that all Realtors use. Realtors will check this many times a day looking for homes in a particular area, price range, and amenities for their buyers. The MLS sorts the homes and shows only the homes that meet a buyer/Realtor's criteria.
- The Seller's home is listed in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) by Thread Real Estate. The listing includes up to 30 color photos, property's detailed information (# of bedrooms, # of bathrooms, square footage, and much more), and the commission being offered to the Realtor who brings the Seller the Buyer.

- Thread Real Estate provides the Seller's phone number as a main point of contact. A Realtor will call the Seller to schedule an appointment to show the property. The Realtor will then show the property at the scheduled time and contact the Seller if the Buyer has any questions or wishes to make an offer. Should the Seller choose to accept an offer from that Buyer, the Seller pays the commission amount (at closing). If the Seller accepts an offer from a buyer without a Realtor, the Seller does not pay any commission. The Seller is not required to accept any offers. The Seller is free to advertise his/her property in newspapers, other places, and hold open houses if he/she wishes.

FAQ
- What is MLS?
- MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is the most comprehensive computerized database of homes for sale with over 1.5 million listings nationwide. This database is used by Realtors to market and promote their own listings and to cooperate with other Realtors. Realtors, in turn, are compensated with part of the commission. The majority of real estate transactions are a result of direct MLS exposure. As members of the MLS, Thread Real Estate is making this "prized possession" available to home Sellers for a fraction of the cost! By having your home in MLS, it will be exposed to thousands of local real estate agents who otherwise would not have known that your property was for sale and would not have shown it.
- How long will my listing be displayed?
- The listing will expire 1 year from the date of the payment received.
- Will other Realtors show my home to their prospects?
- Yes. Since a commission is being offered on the MLS, Realtors will show your home. The Realtor is getting the same amount of commission that a full service Realtor would be offering to bring a buyer.
Example: Breaking down a 6% commission, usally the Listing Broker gets 3-4% and the Buyers Broker gets the rest. Since Thread Real Estate is the listing broker and only charges a flat fee instead of 3-4%, you will end up paying only the Buyers' Broker a commission (e.g. 2%).
- Yes. Since a commission is being offered on the MLS, Realtors will show your home. The Realtor is getting the same amount of commission that a full service Realtor would be offering to bring a buyer.
- May the Seller define the Buyers' broker's commission rate?
- Yes, the Seller defines the comission rate. The suggested rates are 2% or 2.5% of sale price.
- In what situation is the Seller obligated to pay commission?
- The Seller pays a commission only if a licensed agent brings the Buyer to the home through a showing, the Buyer submits an offer with the assistance of a licensed agent, or if the Buyer has an exclusive Buyer's representation agreement with a licensed agent.
- May the Buyer contact the Seller directly after a Realtor shows the home to him/her?
- Yes; however, the Seller is still obligated to pay a commission to the Realtor who showed the home.
- If the Seller receives 2 offers, 1 from a Realtor-assisted Buyer and 1 not, must the Seller accept the offer from the Realtor-assisted buyer?
- No, the Seller can accept or reject any offer from anyone.
- May the Seller continue to advertise as a FSBO?
- Yes, the Seller is free to advertise (e.g. newspapers), hold open houses, and/or do anything that he/she wants to help sell his/her home.
- By participating in this program, does the Seller enter into an exclusive listing agreement with Thread Real Estate?
- Yes, the Seller enters into an exclusive Facilitation listing agreement with Thread Real Estate.
