My home already listed by owner on zillow, but i'd like to get it listed on the MLS through Houzeo. is there anything different i need to do in the process of sign up since my listing is already made?
Great news! Even with an existing FSBO (For Sale By Owner) listing on Zillow, you can use Houzeo to get your property on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). The MLS offers wider exposure to potential buyers and can significantly boost your chances of a successful sale. Here's what you need to know:
Signing Up with Houzeo:
The signup process for Houzeo is straightforward, regardless of your existing Zillow listing. Here's what to expect:
- Create a Houzeo Account: Sign up for a Houzeo account and follow the steps to list your property.
- Complete Property Details: Provide detailed information about your property, including photos and descriptions.
- Review Draft Listing: A listing agent will create a draft MLS listing for your review and approval.
- Go Live on MLS: Once you accept the draft, your listing agent takes care of submitting your listing to the MLS.
Automatic Zillow Update:
In essence, you don't need to take any additional steps to address your existing Zillow listing. Due to Zillow's policies, you won't see a separate listing for your property on their platform once it's on the MLS through Houzeo. Zillow will automatically update your existing listing status to "For Sale" instead of "For Sale By Owner." This eliminates duplicate listings for the same address.
Benefits of MLS Listing with Houzeo:
- Increased Visibility: The MLS is the primary platform real estate agents use to find properties for their clients. Listing on the MLS goes beyond Zillow's "For Sale By Owner" filter, reaching a wider audience of potential buyers, including those actively searching with agents.
- Exposure to Buyer Agents: Real estate agents have a network of potential buyers and can bring qualified leads to your property. The MLS is their go-to resource for finding listings.
- Professional Presentation: Houzeo helps you create a professional and accurate MLS listing by connecting you with a professional listing agent, potentially attracting more serious buyers.
