Flat Fee MLS Listing
Why would you agree to pay a real estate agent a 6% commission to sell your home when you can get the same listing in the same MLS for $600?
Why you will sell your home faster and for more money with Creekview than with a traditional 6% agent:
- Little or no commissions means you can afford to sell your home for less. And price is the biggest factor of success in selling a home.
- We answer our phones 7 days a week! There are few real estate companies that are as responsive as we are to our clients and to buyers who inquire about our listings. (Call some and compare!)
- We guide you and help you every step of the way.

| If a buyer calls your listing agent about your home, the focus is on gaining a buyer client, not on selling your home, so buyers are often steered to other homes. If the buyer happens to buy your home, the agent gets the full 6% commission. | Any buyers inquiring about your home who do not have an agent are referred directly to you, and you have the option of showing the home yourself and saving the 3% buyer’s agent commission. Buyers are never even told about other homes. |
| When you or your potential buyers call an agent, usually a voicemail answers. Even worse, sometimes the message says, “. . . calls received after 5pm will be returned the next business day”. What happens on weekends? | We answer our phones LIVE 8-7 weekdays and 10-6 on weekends. If it goes to voicemail (can happen if entire staff is on the phone), the call is returned in less than 20 minutes. |
| Agent comes to your home to talk you into signing a listing contract. | You sign our listing agreement online when you are ready. |
| The standard contract used by most agents obligates you to pay the full commission if you sell your home yourself, decide to lease it, or if you want to cancel. | You have no obligations and can cancel any time. |
| Someone comes to your house to install a sign and keybox after you sign the listing contract. | We ship the sign and keybox to you by UPS and you have it the next day. You install. |
| Many agents like to say they go to closings as a selling point, when in reality it’s pointless. | There is no need to go to closings because we can read the closing statement from the title company 1 to 2 days before closing. |
