• Review and preparation of seller-submitted listing information

• Entry of listing information into the MLS

• Syndication to third-party real estate websites, as permitted by the MLS

• Coordination of professional real estate photography

• Administrative support related to listing activation and status changes

 

Photography services are provided by an independent third-party vendor, not BetterNest Realty.

• Information may be pre-filled using public records and prior listings. Seller is responsible for confirming accuracy before the listing goes live
   

Delays caused by incomplete or inaccurate seller information may delay MLS activation but do not affect the terms of this agreement.
 

5. Third-Party Photography Disclosure

​​

BetterNest Realty is not responsible for:

​​

Any disputes regarding photography quality must be addressed directly with BetterNest Realty within a reasonable time after delivery.

​​

6. Billing & Payment Terms

​​​

• The Market Ready Plan is billed as a one-time upfront flat fee

• Payment is required before listing preparation or photography scheduling begins

• Fees are non-refundable except as expressly stated in Section 7
   

7. Listing Preparation & Activation

​

Upon purchase, BetterNest Realty will begin listing preparation and coordinate photography scheduling. The seller may be contacted to confirm listing details prior to MLS activation.

​​

MLS activation is subject to seller confirmation, MLS compliance, and system processing timelines.

​​

8. Cancellation & Refund Policy (Important)

​

Pre-Work Cancellation
The seller may cancel the Market Ready Plan only if cancellation is submitted before any of the following occur:

• Listing preparation has begun

• Listing data has been reviewed or entered

• Photography has been scheduled

​

If canceled prior to any work being performed, the seller may be eligible for a refund less any non-recoverable processing fees, if applicable.

​​

Photography-Related Cancellation

• Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the scheduled photography session are non-refundable

• No-shows for photography appointments are non-refundable

These policies reflect third-party vendor cancellation requirements.

​

Post-Preparation / Post-Photography Cancellation
Once listing preparation has begun or photography has occurred, the Market Ready Plan becomes non-cancelable and non-refundable, even if the listing has not yet gone live.

​

9. Early MLS Withdrawal
