I want to sell my property myself. I'm not interested in using an agent.

Not wanting to use an agent when you wish to sell FSBO is quite usual and that's exactly what Houzeo gives you. Though Houzeo assigns a Listing Agent to you, you are NOT USING this listing agent to sell your house, rather, this listing agent is only here to give your property the desired exposure of the MLS.

Since you are listing on a Flat Fee, the listing agent is not involved in your property transaction nor do they get any commission from it. They simply help you get listed on the MLS and this is important because only licensed real estate agents have access to list properties on the MLS.

You, as the owner, are in complete control of your listing. Here's what you can do:

- Write the description for your property.

- Manage your property photos.

- Set the asking price for the property.

- Choose the commission (if) you wish to offer to the Buyer's Agent.

- Receive all buyer leads.
- Manage your property's showings and offers.

- Schedule Open Houses, Install Yard Sign, etc.

- Negotiate directly with the buyer/buyer agent.

Thus, Houzeo allows the seller to be their agent throughout the transaction while having exposure of the MLS and multiple nation-wide real estate websites.

Additional benefits of having your listing on the MLS are:-

1) Broad Exposure - Your property is listed on the largest local MLS available as per your location. The agents onboarded with Houzeo are part of major MLSs'. When your house is listed on the MLS, it not only becomes accessible to local agents but also to agents and buyers nationwide through various real estate websites that pull data from the MLS.

2) Increased Visibility - Your listing will appear on major real estate websites like Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, etc. under the general "For Sale" tab which is used by millions of potential buyers. This increased visibility can significantly boost your chances of finding a buyer quickly.

3) Faster Sales Process - Because of the wide exposure and the high number of potential buyers, homes listed on the MLS often sell faster than those that are not listed.

To assure you, the base responsibility of the Agent is only to give you MLS visibility for your Listing (Depending on the Package you choose) thereby increasing your chances to sell your home faster.

Please note that the Listing agent's role is limited to getting the property listed on the MLS. You retain full control over your listing throughout the process of selling your home.
