Sell Your House with the Multiple Listings Service (MLS)

Video Transcript

"Hi! This is Paul Louis Muller your neighborhood realtor, you can find me on the web at http://callpaul.yourkwagent.com, there’s no www in that address folks, on behalf of expertvillage.com I’d like to welcome you. We spoke a little bit about the multiple listing service. Now again the multiple listing service is the main place for your home to be marketed, and when you list a house on the MLS, or a property, a good realtor needs to list it properly on the MLS as far as the way it looks and the way its presented. There are many realtors out there who for some reason, they’ll maybe list the house on the MLS and they won’t put any pictures up, they won’t put any description of the property. Sometimes if they do put a description, maybe there’s a lot of grammatical errors, so you want to get a realtor who’s going to take a lot of nice digital pictures, I think the maximum is about 8 pictures that you can put up on the MLS, but you want the realtor to take advantage of those 8 pictures by putting the nicest pictures that he can possibly take with his digital camera up on the MLS, and put a nice description of the property as well, word it properly, be creative as far as the wording of the property. For instance imagine the splendor as you open the gate to reveal your very own garden of Eden. Now I know that sounds a little corny, but to a buyer who’s reading this, that sounds like the greatest thing in the world. And that’s what you want: a realtor who’s going to be creative with the wording and the pictures, you don’t want someone just to write ‘nice property; must see.’ Now if I had a choice between ‘nice property; must see’ and the other one, I think I’m going to take the garden of Eden, don’t you agree?"
