Somerset County Flat Fee Broker*
New Jersey

For the past 30 or so years, the National Association of Realtors (NAR) has kept data on home sales in Somerset County, NJ. What they have found is that 85% of home sales in Somerset County, NJ are done with traditional Realtors®, and 15% are For Sale By Owner. What that means is that, on average, a For Sale By Owner property listing reaches only 15% of the market. With a Flat Fee Broker you are given the opportunity to reach the other 85% of the market that you would not reach as a traditional For Sale By Owner. In other words, when you sign up with a Flat Fee Broker you will reach all 100% of the market. The way that a Flat Fee Broker can expose your listing to the rest of the market is by putting your listing on the MLS. The MLS is like a search engine for local Realtors®, where they can exchange data with other Realtors® for homes for their prospective buyers. A Flat Fee Broker will also provide your listing with the benefit of being fed to a websites such as Trulia™, Zillow™, and Realtor.com™, where buyers can search for homes on their own. And the best part about signing up with a Flat Fee broker is that you will save a fortune. Since you will still be a For Sale By Owner, you will not have to pay half of the commissions. These savings will not only be greater than the price you pay for your Flat Fee Broker.As you can see, if you are a For Sale By Owner, a listing with a Flat Fee Broker is the best option for you. With a Flat Fee Broker, you will be able to reach 100% of the market, and save thousands of dollars at the same time.
