About Us

Brokers and Real Estate Agents all across the country are beginning to realize that the Internet is changing how people Buy and Sell Houses.  30 years ago before the computerized MLS and the Internet, agents had to carry a book with all their current listings and then take the book to other agents to show them the house they had for sale.  Marketing was much more expensive and the agents earned the 6-7% commissions they were paid to sell your house.

Now, times are different.  With websites like Realtor.com, Zillow.com, Trulia.com and even Craigslist.com and forsalebyowner.com, buyers are now searching online for their next house.  They can see pictures, aerial views, schools and crime reports, and even recent sales prices all from their living room.  Once the buyer has found the house they want to see, they can call the owner or the agent to schedule a showing and possibly make an offer.

For this reason, 2 truths about selling your home are now common knowledge. 

  1. You don’t have to pay 6% for an agent to put your home in the MLS and schedule showings.
  2. Having your home listed in the MLS is the single most important thing you can do to get your house sold, because the MLS listing allows your home to be seen on MOST of the public websites that buyers use to look for homes.

The Internet has changed the travel agency from big offices to on-line sites like Expedia.com and Travelocity.com.  Online brokerage houses have also popped up with Etrade.com and Ameritrade.com.  You can buy clothing and cars online, and now 85% of all buyers do most of their home searching online.

A Better Way MLS was created by a few inventive Brokers from the West Coast to the East Coast to give sellers a starting point to find a broker that can offer the seller the services they truly NEED to sell their house with all the back-end assistance to keep the seller within the laws of the state, county, and city ordinances.  Finding a local broker is always A Better Way because local brokers know the local laws and they have the ability to show your house when you are away.
