So we're up on MLS, doing a FSBO, Not happy
We decided to do a FSBO for both my house and my parents house (my brother is a realtor and we didn't want to have to use him)
We paid a service fee of $400 for both houses.
The guy posted our house last week, it didnt have pictures for days, then he decided not to use the pictures I sent him and took ones off the website we're linking too- which is fine except I didnt choose them and would not have and he didnt have the apartment which is legal in the listing, so it didnt say 2 kitchens, 2 stoves etc..
So we finally get our pictures up, and the mailbox when you call the number isn't set up, then it is after I bothered him a few times about it and it has messages going nowhere. FINALLY he sets it up so the mailbox says to call my cell phone. It took him 6 days from posting date for both houses to get to this point. Actually I'm not sure Dix Hills is even set up right yet.
Anyway, DH house has had 7 showings within the first 2 days going on MLS and has 2 return showings tomorrow. Stony Brook- none. Housing market...yes I know.
He still hasn't changed a few things on my listing like we have OIL not GAS, misspelling in the desciption..I know there are others.

Do you think I should cancel with him due to the crappy service?

I would cancel and ask for my money back too.

Honestly... you are getting on the MLS for only $400 dollars.
I wouldn't expect spectacular service for paying next to nothing and not having a RE involved.
But with that said, I would fully expect them to correct these errors.

Is the guy getting anything besides the $400? If I remember correctly, when we were selling our condo FSBO, it was a flat fee to list on MLS, plus 1-2% for whatever agent was "assigned" to it.

Thanks everyone, I guess you're right. Its just stressful and frustrating when you're selling..as with anything you just want everything to go right
Karen, we used mlsisland..I dont think they get a percentage, but I will have to check the papers I signed now!

Saw your mom's house on Listingbook.com this morning.
That should also get you tons of exposure.
