In the News!

You heard the news! Everyone is talking about a new way for homeowners to market their property to buyers and real estate brokers on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) while maintaining total control in their home sale - now you too have access to the most powerful marketing strategy to selling your property without paying a full commission!

    AS SEEN ON ABC NEWS WORLD TONIGHT    clarkhoward.com    


 

Why List in the MLS and Realtor.com?   
  • Selling agents search the MLS exclusively for properties that meet their buyer's needs.  If you are willing to pay an agent to bring you a qualified buyer then your property needs to be listed in the MLS. 

  • By Listing your home in the MLS you are advertising your home for sale to both Selling Agents and Buyers.  

More than 90% of all homes are SOLD as a direct result of the MLS enormous targeted exposure.  


                

There are 2 MLS systems in the Metro Atlanta area. The FMLS (First Multiple Listing Service) and GAMLS (Georgia Multiple Listing Service).

While some real estate brokers are members of either the FMLS or GAMLS.  Total Choice Realty hold membership in both the FMLS and GAMLS.

Both MLS systems cover the entire Metro Atlanta area.  To gain the greatest amount of exposure we LIST your property in both the FMLS and GAMLS providing ALL Atlanta area agents access to your property.

The FMLS charges a Service Fee of 0.12% (0.0012) of the sales price that the seller is responsible for paying at closing.   Example: 100,000 x 0.0012 = $120

 

  • Reach Millions of Buyers Worldwide! 

     
    Buyers begin searching for properties that are listed in the MLS on Realtor.com (the #1 buyer access site to the MLS).  

    Realtor.com is the official public website to the National Association of Realtors (NAR).  Millions of potential buyers worldwide search this site to locate properties currently on the market.   

    We will enhance your listing as a Showcased Feature Listing with a customized description of your property plus additional photos for prospective buyers to view 24/7/365.  Giving you the maximum exposure that you deserve to sell your home quickly.

    "I originally heard about flat fee listing agents through a friend of mine who's a real estate agent herself. She suggested that this might be a good option for me, as I had very little equity in my property. Carolyn and the entire staff at Total Choice were a pleasure to work with and guided me through the entire process from start to finish. They were always courteous, helpful and professional, and delivered on everything they promised. They were also incredibly responsive to any questions or needs that I had. I recommend them enthusiastically to anyone planning to sell a home." Doug H. Atlanta, GA   read more. . .

  • Home Feedback System                 

    Our automated client Home Feedback System is just one way that we will provide you with a better home selling experience ending with the results you need. 
                                                                          
    Here's how it works:

  1. Each time your property is shown to a prospective buyer, enter the details of the showing into our Home Feedback System.
  2. Our system then automatically follows up with each showing agent up to three times to solicit their buyer's comments on your home. Once received, these comments are automatically entered into the system.
  3. You will receive private online access to the Home Feedback System:

    • View all feedback responses to-date

"We've shown the house twice and I did the feedback information. We received our first feedback yesterday. This is so cool! I love this company, it's the future of real estate." Amy G., Grayson   


  • Supra Electronic Lockbox                                              

Realtors are assigned a special electronic key that they use to open the lockbox.  Each night agents must update their key on a computerized cradle; once the key has been updated we are able to generate a showing report letting you know who has shown the property.  To obtain a copy of the report simply email us and we will email you a copy of the report at no additional charge.

Our Supra lockboxes are now connected to our Home Feed Back System.  When an agent shows the property using our Surpa lockbox, they will receive an automatic Home Feed Back survey asking what their buyer thought of the property without you having to manually enter the agent's information into the Home Feed Back System. You will receive valuable feedback automatically. 

The Supra Lock box leases for $100 + $50 deposit – upon return of the lockbox to Total Choice Realty we refund the $50 deposit

  • Buyer Services                      

    What many people don’t know is that using a highly qualified real estate professional to help them buy their next home is possibly the smartest thing any buyer can do. A good agent brings together a team of proven professionals to assist a buyer with attorneys, inspectors and trades people. Best of all, if sales commissions are paid by the seller, having your own buyers agent to protect your interests may cost you very little and sometimes nothing at all.
