Listingly:
Explained on “60 Minutes”

If you’re curious about how discount real estate companies like Listingly will change the real estate business, watch Lesley Stahl’s expose segment on “60 Minutes”:

“Chipping Away At Realtors” Six Percent

Stahl reveals that Realtors’ sacrosanct commission rate of six percent may be in jeopardy due to emerging online competition from Internet real estate sellers and buyers.”

While discount realtors aren’t for everyone, if you’re listing a house in a hot market like Boca Raton, using a service such as Listingly seems like a no-brainer. Let’s say you sell your Boca Raton home for $1 Million Dollars. You would then end up paying a listing agent 3% of the sales price, a $30,000 commission.

If you used Listingly, your listing would cost just $9 dollars a month!

Need expert help? Do as little or as much as you want on your own. Listingly’s supremely talented Team of Experts will step in whenever you need them, from just $69/half-hour. With over $4 Billion transacted, the Expert Team at Listingly is ranked among the best in the nation. And for one $9/month flat-fee, they’re completely on your side!

Hmm… so would you be willing to print some flyer, and manage your own open house for a $30,000 in savings?

Something to think about before you answer this question.

And in an area like South Florida, where computer technology has changed how we shop for music, trade stocks, sell things online, and buy airline tickets, it only seems natural that we should question the way real estate has been bought and sold in the past, and look for ways to do it cheaper, better, and faster in the future.
