Are There Any Hidden
Fees?
No, you pay a rate not-to-exceed $347. You
will not be responsible for any security
deposits.
How long does it
take to get on the MLS and Internet sites
once I sign up?
Usually within the first ½ hour but
times may vary depending which time of the
day you submit your listing. Internet sites
usually take 1-2 business days after the
property has been entered into the MLS.
What is included
in your services?
MLS access, top Internet real estate site
listings, and an unmatched Members Only
site that includes unlimited free brochures,
downloadable contracts, special reports
and over 200 real life real estate questions
and answers. As of August 19th 2004, we
are now including all negotiations at no
extra cost!!
Will other Realtors
still show my house?
Absolutely. Realtors are bound by ethical
standards and the law to show every house
that their client wants to see. However,
you may stumble upon the unethical Realtor
that may refuse to show your home but this
is far less than 1% of all Realtors.

How do I
get you pictures of my house?
Upload them to me here.
Do I have to offer
a commission to another Realtor?
Not necessarily. There is no requirement
that you must offer a cooperating commission
to another Realtor to bring you a buyer.
Some of my clients will not offer a commission
until they know what the offer is going
to be. Keep in mind, however, that the more
you pay someone the more likely they will
bring you a buyer. If you want to list your
home and NOT pay a commission call the office
for further information at 815-744-4950.
How can
you afford to do this?
I’m following the recipe that Southwest
Airlines does in the airline industry. By
giving excellent customer service, offering
a great price that the majority of people
can afford and by working by volume.
What if I want
to cancel my agreement?
Download a cancellation agreement that is
provided in the Members Only section. Sign
it and fax it back. Your listing will be
cancelled immediately and you won't even
be asked why!
Will my home be
posted on any Internet sites?
Yes. The main sites will be Realtor.com
and ChicagoTribune.com. You will also be
on thousands of Realtor web sites as new
advances in technology allow individual
agents to offer MLS access through their
web sites. In addition, if you choose the
Showcase Realtor.com your ad will show up
on an
additional 300 websites.
Will your company
bring me a buyer?
No. If a prospective buyer calls the office
I will forward the message to you immediately.

How does your company differ from
other limited services companies?
Most limited services companies do the exact
same thing. They put your home into the
MLS. Besides price there isn't much difference
between the companies. However, I give you
an unheard of price match guarantee and
a Members Only site that includes brochures,
hints and suggestions, downloadable items
and much more.
How long do I have to sign an agreement
for?
That is totally up to you. One day? One
year? You decide.
What if I decide I want to go full
service?
If you decide to list with another company
call the office and your listing will be
canceled immediately and you are free to
list with whichever company you choose.
If you'd like to go full service with HomeOwners
Advantage simply give me a call and I’ll
take care of it immediately. Any payments
made previously will be refunded at closing.

Will I get any support from your
company other than MLS access?
You will have unlimited listing support
throughout your listing period. That means
any changes or updates pertaining to your
listing. Of course, if you've added options
to your service they would be included.
Who will help me when I find a
buyer?
As an added bonus, HomeOwners Advantage
will help you through the entire negotiating
process from beginning to end. Once the
contract is negotiated and signed (all signed
paperwork must be sent to my office within
48 hours) your attorney will step in and
take over until closing.
