Home@Ease Brings Savings to a New Level with it's $395 Flat Fee MLS Plan

TORONTO, July 26 /CNW/ - Home@Ease has continued its string of
innovative money-saving plans for the home sellers by introducing a
"$395 Flat Fee MLS Plan". Compared to the traditional 5% commissions
charged by real estate agents, the Home@Ease seller can save $22,226 in
commissions and HST on the sale of a $400,000 home. The company stresses
that this plan comes with Multiple Listings Service (MLS).

With the $395 Flat Fee MLS Plan the sellers do much of the work. The
sellers decide how much buyer's agent commission (if any) they will
offer when they list the property for sale. Only when the seller's house
is sold and closed do the sellers pay any commission to any agent who
may have sold their home. The sellers pay no commission if they sell the
home themselves. Buyer's and Buyer's agents will be calling the seller
directly for information and the seller will be responsible for showing
the house, doing any open houses, marketing, follow up, negotiations,
etc. The sellers listing will appear on the exact same MLS the local
Realtors use, just like any other listing. Buyers and agents will not
know how much the seller saved in commission. Basically the sellers are
paying $395 plus whatever buyer's agent commission they decide to offer.

Home@Ease also has a 1% FULL SERVICE Plan where the company charges the
seller 1% of the final sale price to handle the entire process.
Basically it's hassle-free selling because it's FULL SERVICE and
ONE-STOP. The seller pays Home@Ease 1% for the listing fee and the
seller can decide how much buyer's agent commission (if any) they will
offer when they list the property for sale.

"Home@Ease always said its mission meant it would continue to lower
costs for the consumer," said Jerry Celenza, President, Home@Ease Realty
Inc. "This is another major step in that direction. But Home@Ease's
commitment to the customer means that none of the service provided by
Home@Ease is compromised."
