  1. Real Estate Agency

Written by the company

When you list with us you’ll literally save THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS! Sounds too good to be true? Well, here’s how YOU save money. The Traditional Way The Traditional method of selling a home works like this. You hire an agent to sell your property. You agree to pay that agent and their firm a fee to sell your home and complete the transaction. That agent, in agreement with their local board, agrees to share that commission with any agent that brings in a buyer and completes the transaction. Your agent markets your property by using the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). The MLS is a Board which acts as a meeting place where buyer and seller agents meet to conduct business and trade buying and selling sources. Once your property is listed in the MLS, your selling agent has agreed to share their commission with anyone who will bring a buyer to the table and complete the transaction. Why Use ListWithFreedom.com? When you list with us you’ll only pay for one side of the transaction. You don’t pay a listing agent – you only pay an agent to bring you a buyer. Want to Save Even MORE? Sell your property on your own! When you list with us you’ll have the right to sell your property on your own. If you find a buyer without the help of an agent, you pay NO COMMISSION AT ALL! Why our FLAT FEE MLS program works! By law, real estate commissions are negotiable. What this means, is that commission rates are determined or set independently by individual real estate companies (brokerages) and are not set by any governmental body, real estate board or association. Additionally, some real estate companies will allow their salespeople (agents) a certain degree of latitude in negotiating the commission rate to sell your home. This is of course no different than Ford or General Motors suggesting a retail price for their vehicles and then allowing a certain amount of bargaining at their dealers. So, just as it is prudent to shop around for the best deal when you are buying a new car, it is equally important to shop around when you are hiring the services of a Realtor. no-commission“Commission rates are determined or set by individual real estate companies (brokerages) and are not set by any governmental body, real estate board or association” Each and every day, home sellers and home buyers employ the services of real estate professionals. However, as a home buyer, it is unlikely you would ever be asked to pay any portion of a real estate commission. Since it is doubtful your Buyer’s Agent is working for free, how and by whom does this Realtor get compensated? In almost every home sale, the entire commission payable to both the Listing Agent and the Buyer’s Agent is paid by the seller. How this works, is that through the MLS, the Listing Brokerage offers a percentage, usually around half (2.5% to 3%), of the total commission to the Buyer’s Brokerage. The two agents involved share credit and commissions in the sale of the home. The majority of all home sales are transacted this way. As a home seller, therefore, you will be called upon to pay commission for both sides of the transaction. While this may not seem fair, it is fact. For this reason, it is essential to secure the best possible commission rate with your Listing Agent when selling your home. Paying a high rate of commission, such as 7% on $100,000, will not make it sell any faster. There is absolutely no correlation between the total amount of real estate fees you pay and the time it takes to sell your home or the price you get for it. Paying more simply means paying more. “Paying a high rate of commission, such as 7% / $100,000, will not make it sell any faster.” The good news is that real estate commissions seem to be falling. The monopoly that Realtors have held over the MLS system is weakening as a result of comprehensive Web Sites that enable the public to access this information. Web services are creating new competition to the industry which will ultimately lower commissions rates. More specifically, it is the listing side of the commission that is feeling the downward pressure. The role of the Listing Agent in the sale of a home is more like that of a property manager than a salesperson. Speculation suggests that one day the Listing Agent will be completely replaced by the Web in that the public will pay a flat fee to place their home on a national MLS site. The emergence of “buyers only” brokerages throughout the United States certainly lends credence to this theory. ListWithFreedom.com sellers enjoy a much lower listing fee, than a Traditional Brokerage. This allows you, the home seller, to save on fees and commissions and still attract all the potential buyer’s for your home through effective use of the MLS system. It really is the best of both worlds.

ListWithFreedom gave us a very good option to list the home for sale on the MLS on a reasonable flat fee basis. The staff overall was good to work with and Sandy was very helpful during the process.

This company got my listing on MLS very inexpensively! That was the goal. My home sold faster since I could price it competively! My listing package was supposed to include “showing time” it was not available…I spend hours trying to accomplish this. The showing notification process was not smooth.

The listing expert will call the seller and go over the listing details to help ensure all of the information provided is correct.

Effortless Home Selling

I had an excellent experience selling my home using a for sale by owner company with a streamlined process and comprehensive support. The entire journey was made incredibly easy. The streamlined process meant I didn't have to navigate the complexities of selling a home entirely on my own. The support I received from the company was invaluable.
The company provided a user-friendly platform that allowed me to list my property, upload photos, and create an appealing listing.
Throughout the process, I had access to a dedicated support team that was always ready to answer my questions and offer assistance. This level of support made a significant difference, especially for someone selling a home on their own.
What impressed me the most was the cost savings. By using this for sale by owner company, I avoided traditional realtor fees, and the streamlined process made it worth every penny. I highly recommend this service to anyone looking to sell their home without the stress and cost of a traditional real estate agent.

Exceptional service, fair price!

That the pricing is fair goes without explanation. LWF works with a broker for the whole of Texas (unlike some lower-cost competitors which mainly service more populated areas), and so suited my needs.

The service is by far...it is mindblowing. The company gears its offerings toward first-time sellers, constantly makes it known that they are available to answer any questions. After every listing there is a welcome call with the agent assigned to one's case--from my experience this agent tends to follow the entire process--that's a welcome touch! My agent's name was Sandy, she is very kind and warm, helpful and just brightens the mood and made the whole process easier. After a relatively difficult closing she called to congratulate me before I even knew it worked out in the end. She seemed genuinely happy for me during this call, and communicated that in a way I understood subconsciously. This genuine sentiment for others' welfare is rarer it seems in the world today, and frankly this was the highly of my experience.

If list with freedom fits your needs (I used the $149 gold package), I certainly wouldn't hesitate to work with them. The MLS listing process is much more difficult than posting a Facebook ad, so be warned, but they make it as easy as they possibly can!

Three stars for the business model, five for the staff

Three stars for the business model. Five stars for the staff and their outstanding service. This is not a flat fee service. The upfront charge is about average for firms that put your house on MLS. On the back end, they take a commission on the sales price. Their commission is much smaller than a traditional listing agent, but I couldn't find anything they did for us that went beyond firms that do not charge a commission. I live in a very rural area, and this was the only firm I could find that belonged to the local MLS. Very easy to work with. Very helpful and accommodating staff. Would use again if I could not find a true flat fee alternative.

Extra help when really needed it.

I’ll be honest, I wasn’t happy at first because I didn’t realize there was a .25% commission that wasn’t disclosed, other than in the contract which I missed. (My own fault)
However, during the process of selling the house, I had several really big issues, and was glad I had a very helpful staff. They went above and beyond to give very important advice in those times. Well worth the money that was paid to have that experience behind you. Thanks again

Thank you for the review and feedback. We have since added more information about the .25% compliance fee on our website and listing process in an effort to be as transparent as possible!

I was impressed with the immediate interaction from LWF from start to finish. They were there when needed and otherwise non-intrusive. With our package I was able to list in multiple areas- which they chose- and it paid off; I had an offer within 4 days of listing and many other enquiries. Absolutely worth the small investment including the .25% at sale. Everyone was 100% engaged and helpful from day 1. Would use again with no question!!!
