Dec 29, 2006 -- Zillow.com offers alternative to MLS
If you want to sell your home, the No. 1 source for marketing and promotion is the MLS or Multiple Listing Service. The only problem is that the listing service is set up to serve only fully-commissioned brokers. It’s very hostile to people selling a home on their own or using discount brokerage services. But if you can’t join them, beat them! Zillow.com is now allowing FSBO folks to list their homes for sale FOR FREE. The company is fed up with the way the National Association of Realtors is trying to create a closed market. So it’s giving an alternative to all the other folks out there. Zillow lists online appraisals and home values, and they are surprisingly accurate. So, if you’re selling a home on your own, take advantage of this resource.
