It's better to sell in the spring. There is absolutely no correlation between
what time of the year you sell and how much you'll get for your property. Winter,
spring, summer or fall, who knows? Just like the stock market, the real estate
market is unpredictable. Time your sale based on your personal circumstances
and you've just picked the best time to sell.

Thousands of Realtors®..... Hundreds of Real Estate Companies.....
One Common Marketing Platform..... the Multiple Listing Service®!
The Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) is a cooperative marketing system which allows licensed
Realtors® from all real estate companies (also called brokerages), to share information about
residential real estate that is for sale. Regardless of which brokerage an agent works for,
he or she accesses the same database through their local real estate board (i.e. Calgary Real
Estate Board). After a Realtor® has listed a property, they are required to load that listing
into the database for all other Realtors® to view and consider. Therefore, when you list your
home with a Realtor® on the MLS®, you have immediately employed an army of salespeople to aid
in the sale of your home.
In Calgary, the vast majority of MLS® transactions involve two Realtors®, the listing agent and
a buyer's agent. The Calgary Real Estate Board (CREB) is a cooperative association representing
over 250 member brokerages and over 5000 Realtors®. Most, but not all, home buyers are represented
by a Realtor® and if you want those Realtors® to show your property, you need to give them an
incentive to do so. The amount of cooperation you receive from those Realtors® will depend,
in part, on the amount of buyer's agent commission you offer. The most common buyer's agent
commission offered in the Calgary MLS® system is 3.5% of the first $100,000 plus 1.5% of the
balance of sale price (+gst). While this may be the most common commission offered, it is
certainly possible to attract Realtors® to your home by offering less. Remember, many Realtors®
may be left with no other option than to show your home. Their client may be insisting on seeing
the property, and rather than losing the client and earning nothing, they will show your home.
So why do homeowners often pay thousands of dollars in commission to sell their property through
the MLS®? Because it works! Without rival, the MLS® is the most powerful and effective marketing
tool available to sell homes. Now, more than ever, the MLS® is available to all types of home sellers.
At rhinorealty, we offer Full Service MLS® for those clients that prefer we do everything, Seller
Option MLS® for our customers who want to participate in the sale and By Owner MLS® for the
for-sale-by-owner that wants to sell on their own.
