Company details

  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.

I was told by several buyers agents that list with freedom agent didn’t answer their calls for showings and that they have a long history of this. They absolutely are NOT worth the commission I paid them.

We continue to expand our support team which includes phone support 7 days a week. Anyone who calls after hours can leave a message so that we can return the can and / or send the message to a seller.

We are sorry that such feedback was given by agents not used to sell the property. Getting an accepted offer less than a month on the market and closing just a few weeks later is a great example of saving thousands of dollars using ListWithFreedom. Congrats and we wish you the very best.

I will not do business with ths company again

I will not do business with this company again.

I have used other on line listing companies and they have been great, but this one is is the worst I have used. All realtors today use on line scheduling to show houses and this company is not able to do that so realtors go on and show other houses instead. The reason given by List With Freedom was that they were not a part of this in line listing service in my area. The question would then be, ‘ why are you listing houses in an area if you cannot provide the service that MLS uses?” All other in line listing companies have this device. List with freedom offers this service for additional $ which I paid, but they had to refund my money since they could not deliver the service. All other houses around me were getting lots of showings and I was getting none. The feedback to me on this was that the realtors did not want to go thru the hassle of calling me and 100% the calls they made to list with freedom went without response. After riding the real estate market down for 6 months, the house sold for a significantly reduced price this sale did not about thru MLS but thru word of mouth. And yet List with Freedom collected their .1% fee. Now I see National ads on tv for list with freedom to gain more customers, so I you read this review, be warned.

Most MLS do use a showing service, which is a 3rd party company that allows agents to use an app or automated service to set up showings. There are many 3rd party companies, the MLS chooses which company they will work with. The MLS that provides local MLS coverage only works with Broker Bay. ListWithFreedom sets up and provides the showing service that the MLS allows for our listings.

Flawless!

My second transaction with ListWithFreedom. Flawless. No other way to describe it. It's unreal that people still pay 1-3 PERCENT of their transaction just to list their home. Unbelievable! Glad these folks are changing the game. Now if they can just disrupt the buying side of the equation!

Good resource with a few bumps that could be corrected

While I would probably use list with freedom again, I wish I could’ve contacted someone from the get go directly vs. chatting. Also there were a couple times list with freedom made a couple mistakes that shouldn’t have been made. Our first buyers fell through 2 days before closing and even though lost with freedom had to sign on the dissolving of that contract they emailed me and my previous buyers agent a couple weeks later and rather demanding asked for their commission on a contract that was cancelled. They also continued to mistakenly e-mail my previous buyers agent in regards to my new contract which was awkward at the least. Over all despite that, I still thought that it went pretty smoothly.

Sold Property

We were able to get the property on the MLS with the help of ListwithFreedom. We purchased the recommended signs. We were able to get the property sold. For anyone wanting to sell by owner this is a very helpful way to do this and get exposure but be aware that you will need to put alot of work in to this in order to get it sold and get to close. It worked well for us.

Would not recommend—zero guidance

There was no guidance from the realtor; he never reached out or even spoke to me. I was left to receive guidance from the buyer’s realtor. Basically, I paid a percentage of my home sale to have it listed on the MLS. I would not recommend this service to anyone.

Our service allows sellers to be very involved in the listing process and showings and be represented by a broker in order to have their listing on the MLS. We have a closing department that assists with offers and provides the needed paperwork to close. Our brokers are involved as needed, thus allowing our sellers to save thousands of dollars when selling their homes. Support is available 7 days a week via phone, email, and chat for all of our customers to help throughout the selling process.

Congrats on your very quick sale! Less than 3 weeks on the market and saved thousands!

Zero assistance with documents questions about documents

Basically, you were zero help as far as answering questions about the closing and dealing with the offers.
I would never use your service again. I’m sure there’s companies out there that charge less for doing nothing other than listing it on the MLS.

In order to avoid any delays, we ask that all offers be submitted in an esign (DotLoop/Docusign) format for the broker to sign right away. The seller also must sign all documents prior to the broker signing and executing the contract.

EASY USER FRIENDLY ON TECH SAVVY SITE

I was floored on how simple and user friendly their service is. It took me hour to complete all sections. This received an email asking for some documents which you can upload on their dashboard site. Before you begin gather info you will need (room measurements, HOA info) I live in smaller city WHERE NO ONE uses a broker. Saving me 10k. I will tell and help people list their home with this service! I have never paid 6% commissions but everyone in my town wanted that so i kept googling and finally found this company that list in our MLS!! Instead of charging us more they take .25% from buyers agent. THANK YOU!! Their whole process and website is savvy tech !! Going to preach to world save people thousands!
