INTRODUCING a new way - no, a BETTER WAY of getting your home listed with the MLS® and REALTOR.COM® Flat fee MLS is here in the Daytona Beach area with BETTER WAY REALTY SERVICES INC

     Lets face it you can send your child to Harvard for what a typical real estate agency charges to sell your home. Keep your equity in your pocket where it belongs. Most agencies use the "exclusive right of sale" contract. What that means is you are paying them the full contracted commission no matter who brings the buyer. BETER WAY uses an "exclusive agency addendum" contract - if you procure the buyer you don't have to pay the agency any additional commission. You still get the maximum exposure of theDABMLS® and REALTOR.COM® as well as GOOGLE®, YAHOO®, and MSN® real estate web sites our own REAL-ESTATE-INC.COM and other affiliates. For an additional fee you can also be placed on the MIDFLORIDAMLS®

                                       DARE TO COMPARE

   As an example lets say a  typical  sales price of an existing home is $220,000. @ 6% * listing fee the commission will total $13,200. leaving you with $206,800. before you deduct for your closing costs!  With Better Way that same $220,000. home sale will leave you  with $212,795. for a savings of $5995. when sold through the MLS system!

     When you find a buyer on your own without the help of a realtor there is no commission involved. The only expense incurred is the upfront listing fee of $495. For an additional charge we can negotiate and help arrange the closing. **
