THE MULTIPLE LISTING SERVICE By Mike Lightbourn
the property maximum exposure.
When you list your home or vacant land with a Bahamas Real Estate Association (BREA) licensed agent, you will be asked to sign a Multiple Listing Service (MLS) agreement. This agreement is important because it sets the terms between the seller and real estate agency to list and market your property. It covers various angles and tries to eliminate the possibility of misunderstanding between both parties. The buyer gives the listing agency the exclusive right and authority to list, market and sell the property for a specified period. The seller can’t list the property with anyone else during this period and must direct all inquiries to the listing agency during the life of the agreement. The owner agrees to cooperate with the listing agency in marketing the property. This MLS agreement enables the greatest exposure to be given to your property. As soon as the property is listed, it becomes available to over 350 BREA/MLS members who expose the listing to their client base. This is the beginning of the exposure process. When an agency accepts a listing, it invests time, expertise and other resources into helping to prepare and marketing a property for sale. This includes providing a comparative market analysis to make sure the property is priced properly, guidance on staging a home to show it off to its best advantage and producing multimedia marketing material (including Matterport and drone video where appropriate). The agency networks with other agencies and contacts and coordinates showings to give
Big Tax Break
Prime Minister Minnis has announced the following tax break for property owners: Government will waive up to 50 percent of a taxpayer’s total arrears, including overdue taxes and accumulated surcharges, if the full remaining 50 percent balance is paid by May 31. This only applies to arrears that are outstanding for more than 180 days. Alternatively, people who make a 25 percent “down payment” on their arrears and agree to a payment plan for the balance will have all penalty surcharges waived if they do so by May 31, 2021. The arrears must be outstanding for at least 180 days. Dr Minnis said officials realise recovering overdue property tax has been a long-standing challenge and the situation has been exacerbated by the COVID-19 economic downturn.
Are You Covered?
Although the Atlantic Hurricane Season officially starts June 1, this is a good time to take stock of your situation. If you have catastrophic insurance, go over your policy with a fine-tooth comb to determine the scope of coverage. Read the fine print. People who live on the coast and low-lying areas are particularly vulnerable to hurricane and water damage. The insurance companies won’t issue new policies for property on islands that are under a hurricane threat, so it’s best to deal with new policies sooner rather than later. Questions or comments?
