Q. What type of Listing Agreement do I have to sign?
A. You have to sign an "Exclusive Agency" agreement.  The reason it is "Exclusive Agency" is because per MLS Rules, one property can not be listed in the MLS by two different companies at the same time.  If you want to be listed in the MLS by another Agency, then you must Cancel your listing with EntryOnly.com first.

Q. Why do I need to submit so many forms?
A. In order to stay in compliance with Federal & State Laws, State Licensing Statutes, and MLS Rules and Regulations all the required forms must be submitted before your property can be listed in MLS.

Q. How long does it take to get my property listed after submission?
A. After your listing materials are submitted, your property will be listed within 1 business day, perhaps even the same day depending on the workload for the day.

Q. How long does it take for my listing to appear on websites?
A. Once your property is listed in the MLS, it will be immediately available to all members of the MLS.  It can take 24-48 hours to appear on Realtor.com.  Each MLS participates in reciprocal programs with Partner Websites in an effort to offer the most exposure to our clients. We do not have editorial control over these sites and cannot effect the way a listing is displayed on them.  Therefore we cannot guarantee their reliability and they are subject to change without prior notice.

Q. How do I make changes to my listing?
A. All changes can be made through EntryOnly.com via online submission.  You can also use printable forms and either scan/email or fax them in.

Q. How do Agents/Buyers contact me?
A. Buyers/Agents contact the Seller directly to set up showings. The Seller's contact information appears in the "Showing Instructions" of the MLS for Buyer's Agents to see, so they do not have to look any further.  However, it is a violation of the MLS for a Seller's contact information to appear in the Public Remarks or on Partner Websites, so the Seller's contact information also appears on EntryOnly.com in the Seller's property listing. If a Buyer/Agent calls EntryOnly.com, we tell them the Seller is responsible for setting up showings, and we give them the contact information.  So, all calls are directed to the Seller.  Any emails inquiries are forwarded to the Seller.

Q. How do Agents know that I am offering a Commission?
A. The Buyer's Agency Commission is stated in the MLS for the Agents to see.  This information is not accessible to the general public.

Q. How much of a Commission should I offer?
A. The average commission is about 2.5%, so we recommend that you offer between 2-3%.  Of course, it all depends on how motivated you are to sell your property.  Obviously, the higher the commission you offer the more likely agencies are to put effort into finding a buyer for your property.  Conversely, the lower the commission you offer the less likely agencies are to "push" your property.  If you offer less than 2% you should not expect a big response from Brokers.

Q. Can I change the Commission after the property is listed?
A. You can change the Commission anytime before accepting an offer.

Q. How many photos do I get with my listing?
A. You can have up to 25 photos on Realtor.com, however, the number of photos in each MLS varies.  You will receive the maximum number photos in which ever MLS you are listed in.

          16 - Connecticut Greater Fairfield County MLS

Q. What if I want to use a traditional Realtor while my property is listed?
A. If you want to be listed in the MLS by another real estate agent, then you must Cancel your listing with us first.
