Misconception #2: “Agents from other companies will not show my listings unless I list with them ...” Fact: While all companies would love to both list and sell every property with which they were involved, if companies only showed their own listings they wouldn’t likely have many sales. Similarly, no agent or company can list every desirable property, and consequently, a company which chose to only show their own listings would be doing a tremendous disservice to their clients by not letting the client see all properties which fit their purchase criteria. Clients should steer clear of companies which tout their large organization’s ability to sell properties (in House) as they may try to sit on a property and push it only within their organization (so that they can make twice the commission – i.e., both the Buyer’s and Seller’s side). This comes at the expense of giving a client’s property the broader exposure available through the MLS – which helps the client to receive the true market value for the property in the least amount of time. Because every active real estate agent works closely with the MLS to find properties suitable for their clients the agents will find out about ALL properties which meet their client’s criteria through the MLS (not because of some inter-office or inter-company marketing connection).
