The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is an electronic clearinghouse for brokers and agents to share incentives and cooperate to sell properties. There are many associations covering the State of Texas. Members are the brokers and agents that find a home for sale in MLS and bring buyers to preview and purchase. We set up your MLS listing in our local MLS. Our primary MLS is MetroTex Association of Realtors in Dallas, TX.
Your listing includes a professional multi-color sign for your yard. When a buyer calls the number on the sign they receive a link in a text to see your listing. The buyer can leave a message for us to return the call and bring in a deal.
We produce a professional color flyer in PDF format for display and distribution in your home, work, and community.
We review your closing statement with you and help with closing issues that arise. We go to closings and you get a closing statement beforehand to review and approve. Your title company works with you directly to gather closing information, wire instructions, and schedule your in-office or remote closing.
We tailor your listing agreement for your property and send you a draft listing for final approval. After you approve these documents they are sent to all parties of the seller for electronic signature and your listing goes live. All forms and contracts are provided by the Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) and our State and local MLS Associations. These are the same forms and contracts used in all Texas residential real estate transactions.
We post “Offer Suggestions” online as a customized guide for agents submitting offers. This is a helpful guideline for managing buyer expectations and negotiating. Based on hundreds of transactions, our Offer Suggestions are carefully designed to encourage cooperation and successful transactions.
We review your contract with you paragraph by paragraph. We offer advice on negotiation strategy, clarify confusing terms, and approximate your closing cost. All reviews are completed by phone and email.
Our real primary role is to market your home to other brokers, agents, and their buyers and get you the best possible deal. We follow up on all buyer leads and show the home to qualified buyers if they don’t have an agent.
We provide you with an Supra Electronic Keybox. It is operated by a Smartphone and Bluetooth. Only authorized agents can open an electronic Keybox and must be present for showings.
In your Exclusive Right to Sale Listing, USCityhomes receives a commission from the seller if they procure the buyer. When a prospective buyer does not have an agent we show the home.

Terms & Conditions & Refund Policy:
Our services begin when payment is made. Processing the order, shipping product, consultations, market analyses, and processing documents are examples of costs incurred and services provided before a listing is ever entered in the MLS. For this reason, all fees paid to us are non-refundable, regardless of when or if the MLS listing is activated.
If circumstances change after your payment, and you wish to postpone listing your property to a later time, that is no problem. Your order is valid up to 1 year after your payment.
Fees paid for Full Representation are never refundable, regardless whether any offers were ever negotiated or consultations provided. The fee paid is for availability, not full utilization of the service. Similar to insurance, all clients pay the same, whether they use it extensively or never use it at all. This allows us to keep our Full Representation fees as low as they are.
We reserve the right to refuse to accept any client at our sole discretion.
