We list property for sale and rent exclusively in Massachusetts using the largest MLS system in New England, MLS Property Information Network (MLS PIN). MLS PIN gives us the ability to list property for sale or rent across every city in the state of Massachusetts. Further, once your property is listed in MLS PIN, which is directly accessible only by licensed real estate agents and brokers, it will be syndicated to popular third party real estate websites such as Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia, Redfin, and literally hundreds of others, at no additional charge to you and without any action needed on your part.
What type of property can I list for sale or rent?
In the state of Massachusetts, we help for sale by owners (FSBO) list Single Family, Condominium/Co-op, Multi-Family, Land, and Residential Rental properties in MLS Property Information Network (MLS PIN) for sale or rent.
Will Buyer’s Agents show my property to their clients?
Yes, your entry only MLS listing will be shown by Buyer’s Agents.
You may be concerned that, because you’re not using a traditional real estate brokerage that charges a full commission, your property is not going to be shown by licensed real estate brokers and agents to their clients.
It’s important to understand that, to the general buying public, your flat fee MLS listing looks no different than any other listing entered by a traditional real estate brokerage charging a full commission. In the MLS itself, directly accessible by licensed agents and brokers only, entry only MLS listings are required to have an entry only flag and oftentimes carry details in a Special Showing Instructions field (neither of which is visible to the general buying public).
Our flat fee entry only MLS listing option gets your property on MLS Property Information Network (MLS PIN), the largest MLS system in New England, and the very same official MLS used by licensed real estate brokers and agents.
Further, Buyer’s Agents carry a fiduciary duty to their clients as a licensed professional, and it is in the best interest of their clients, to show all properties on the market that meet their client’s search criteria – if your property matches the search criteria of a buyer represented by a Buyer’s Agent, it’s the fiduciary duty of a Buyer’s Agent to show your property to their client.
What is a Seller’s Agent?
A seller can engage the services of a real estate agent to sell his/her property (called the listing agent) and the real estate agent is then the agent for the seller who becomes the agent’s client. This means that the real estate agent represents the seller. The agent owes the seller undivided loyalty, reasonable care, disclosure, obedience to lawful instruction, confidentiality and accountability, provided, however, that the agent must disclose known material defects in the real estate. The agent must put the seller’s interests first and negotiate for the best price and terms for their client, the seller. (The seller may authorize sub-agents to represent him/her in marketing its property to buyers, however, the seller should be aware that wrongful action by the real estate agent or sub-agents may subject the seller to legal liability for those wrongful actions).
What is the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)?
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a database directly accessible only by licensed real estate professionals to list property for sale or rent. The MLS is not a “website”, however, it is used ubiquitously by licensed real estate brokers and agents, and serves as the ultimate system of record or source for a property’s information, and its information is syndicated to thousands of third-party websites (Zillow, Realtor.com, etc.). Entry Only New England exclusively uses MLS Property Information Network (MLS PIN), New England’s largest multiple listing service. MLS systems are directly accessible only by licensed real estate agents and brokers, yet data within MLS systems are in part shared and/or syndicated with thousands of third-party real estate websites.
