How do I get started with a Hauseit Assisted FSBO listing?
We'll demystify this topic in the following video.
My name is Chris at Hauseit.
Hauseit is the largest assisted For Sale by Owner and buyer commission rebate company
in New York City established in 2014.
Now let's get started.
As the first step go to https://www.hauseit.com and go to the Assisted FSBO product page.
Please read the product page and the FAQ carefully.
Every conceivable question has been answered in the FAQ section in length.
We highly recommend you checking out all of the information before deciding to proceed
or to submit your listing details as the product is not a traditional For Sale by Owner listing
which is similar to a flat fee MLS listing where you pay a flat fee upfront and a partner
broker thus your property in the local MLS and associated third-party websites.
After you have fully read and understood what the Hauseit assisted FSBO product is please
choose your region.
We have three main regions as of this filming New York City which is listed in the RBNY
RLS Long Island which is listed in the Long Island MLS and the Hudson Valley which is
listed in the HGMLS or the Hudson Gateway MLS.
After you have selected the correct region for your listing, please go to the listing
page either New York City, Long Island or Hudson Valley and then complete the listing
submission form.
Keep in mind that all fields marked with an asterisk are required.
And how do you submit your photos?
Well, in the listing submission form there is a question that asks where your photos
are what we kindly ask is for you to choose a free cloud storage provider such as Google
Drive or Dropbox.
Many services provide free storage services, simply drop your photos in the cloud storage
provider of your choice and send us a link to the photos.
Please remember to not have a password necessary to access the photos and if you would like
we recommend numbering the photos in numerical order this way, our support team can simply
select all and upload your photos and they will automatically be in the order that you
label them.
In the listing submission form, you'll also be asked to choose a co-broke or a commission
you wish to offer to buyer’s agents.
Remember that this figure is contractual and will be entered into your local MLS or RLS
for New York City by our partner broker.
This commission range will vary and it is up to you but we recommend typically 2% to
3% so that you will offer something competitive and market rate to by site agents.
Again, this figure is up to you and it will vary based on region norms do vary.
For example, in New York City it is customary to see 2.5% to 3%.
At 2.5%, you typically won't get push back from buyer's agents 3% is more common but
both are acceptable.
However, norms may change in other areas for example further out in the boroughs such
as Eastern Queens or Southern Brooklyn, you may see lower co-brokes.
For example, perhaps 2% or even less or even in the Hudson Valley in Westchester for example
you may see 2% more often.
So again, norms for co-brokes will vary but it is up to you and you can choose the amount
in the listing submission form.
Remember as well to remove any existing For Sale by Owner or For Sale by Agent listings
before you proceed with us.
If you do have an existing listing up when you list with us well that because syndication
issues so please remember to take off any other listings before proceeding.
At the bottom of the listing submission page, please choose a flat fee listing package if
you already have professional photos and a floor plan then you should simply choose the
basic flat fee package.
If you wish to add on professional photos or broker consulting or a floor plan you can
also do so directly at the bottom of the listing submission page after you select the listing
package that you wish at the very bottom of the listing submission page simply hit submit
you will be taken to a another page or you will be asked to check out.
Once you have checked out, you will receive a confirmation email and you can expect to
receive a flat fee a listing agreement sent later that business day.
Keep in mind that our business hours are Monday through Friday from 9 to approximately 5:00
p.m. Eastern time.
So, if your listing details were submitted after hours then you will be contacted the
following business day with the flat fee listing agreement to sign.
Keep in mind that the flat fee your listing agreement is an exclusive listing agreement
which is required by the MLS the RBNY RLS and many public third-party websites.
Essentially meaning that only one broker is exclusively allowed to list a property.
Keep in mind that we do not allow edits to the flat fee a listing agreement which has
already been pre agreed upon with our partner brokers.
Again, the language is highly in your favor versus a traditional exclusive right to sell
listing agreement.
Once the flat fee paperwork completed, please allow up to 2 business days for your listing
to be uploaded and syndicated on a third-party website as well as your local MLS or the RBNY
RLS in New York City.
Syndication itself will vary depending on the third party website usually when a listing
is uploaded it will go to the MLS or the RBNY RLS relatively instantaneously but syndication
to third party websites such as StreetEasy, Zillow, realtor.com, New York Times and such
will vary depending on the site but you can typically expect complete syndication within
2 business days.
And what if you have edits to your listing?
Well you can submit any edits updates or request your listing on the Hauseit website directly
at https://www.hauseit.com.
Go to the account menu bar and you will see one of the menu items being submitted listing
update.
Alternatively, you can simply Google 'Hauseit Listing Update' or some variation of such and
you will find the Hauseit listing update form and of course if you have any further questions
please remember to check out our customer support forum on https://forum.hauseit.com.
You can also find it by going to https://www.hauseit.com and going to our resources menu bar and then

every conceivable question we believe has been asked and if you have a new question
please feel free to post it and our support team or someone in the community will make
sure to get back to you within 1 business day.
And lastly, please remember that this flat fee listing does not come with phone or email
support from either Hauseit or partner brokers in order to make this affordable for all customers.
However, if you do wish to have more support you can always purchase a flat fee broker
consulting package available on https://www.hauseit.com or of course you can sign up and upgrade for
a 1% for full service listing where one of our partner brokers will handle all aspects
of your sale and of course provide you with in-person support.
