Many sellers do not clearly understand what the MLS actually does for promoting a property.

Here is how the MLS vastly improves your chances of selling your property at a higher price within a reasonable time frame.

1. It gets over 180 BROKERS in our area working on your side.
   
   
2. Every time one of these 180+ brokers gets a buyer client looking for a property similar to yours, THE BROKER CAN FIND IT in his MLS database through a powerful search engine.
   
   
3. Brokers do not always remember your property from an ad in the paper or a flyer that went across their desk, nor from a classified ad or even from visiting your property at some open house. Brokers have so much property data flying through their heads every day that it is very possible to forget yours! The MLS database REMINDS BROKERS OF YOUR PROPERTY EVERY TIME they need to look for a property such as yours.
   
   
4. Most of the MLS database can also be found on a number of Telluride broker websites and on the www.realtor.com website. If your property is in the MLS, it could be on MANY WEBSITES and could be seen by thousands of buyers directly.

What you get if you are NOT in the MLS

1. Most BROKERS WILL FORGET about your property even if they happen to catch it in the newspaper or on a flyer.
   
   
2. Many buyers who read the property ads in the newspaper WILL NOT CATCH YOUR AD because when they decide to look is not when you advertised.
   
   
3. Most buyers (about 70%) who use buyers' brokers will probably miss ever knowing about your property.
   
   
4. Your property will not come up in front of brokers when they look into their MLS program in an effort to find a buyer client the property they want which is just like yours.
   
   
5. Your property will not come up on www.realtor.com.

7. In short, THE PUBLIC WILL MISS SEEING YOUR PROPERTY ON SEVERAL WEBSITES OR IN THEIR BROKER'S PROPERTIES FILE.

The Power of the MLS really brings your property TONS more exposure
than you'd get without it . and probably a higher price too.

DON'T MISS OUT ON IT!

Doesn't it stand to reason that if you get fewer buyers interested in your property that you will take longer to sell it and that potential buyers will not offer as much?

More exposure = More potential buyers = Sooner sale and more money !!
