MLS listing company – List your house for sale with a flat fee broker

Flat Fee MLS – list on the MLS by owner with your own flat fee mls broker and ejoy the benefit of selling your home as a fsbo.  Our Realtor.com listings start at only and our Premium MLS listings are only 9 for 6 months.

Why being listed in MLS is so important

1. MLS stands for “Multiple Listing Service”, and is “the real estate market”. 
2. Over 90% of all properties sold in the US are as a result of MLS listing exposure. 
3. Being listed in MLS means all the local Realtors can find your home in their MLS database.
4. Buyers can find your home on thousands of public MLS websites, where they are most likely to be searching for a home. 
5. MLS listed properties (for sale by owner or not) sell faster and for more money than non-MLS listed “for sale by owner” properties.

What is MLS?

MLS stands for “Multiple Listing Service”. Most people refer to MLS as if it were all one big database of homes. Actually there are over a thousand individual MLSs across the country; some big, some small. They are all separate from each other, so a Realtor who looks on his local MLS in Boston can’t see the listings in the Miami MLS. That’s why it’s so important to be listed in the correct local MLS. There are many national websites, like Realtor.com, that aggregate listings from all these 1000 MLSs, and put them all on one giant website. Some information, such as commissions offered to agents and owner contact information, is only displayed on the local MLS for agents to see, and not the national public websites.

Why a Flat Fee MLS Listing is better than listing with a 6% Realtor

1.You get the same MLS listing in the same local MLS for a one-time low Flat Fee instead of 6%.
2.If you sell your home without a buyer’s agent involved, there is zero commission.
3.More exposure on hundreds of national MLS websites. Many 6% Realtors limit the exposure to public websites to increase their chances of getting the entire 6% commission.

Sheri Tingey, Alaska Entrepreneur Extraordinaire

Today, Sheri Tingey, who is age 60, runs a family business called Alpacka Raft, which has created and built a series of ultra light, packable rafts for use in long distance backpacking and wilderness racing.

Sometimes, a “new” business opportunity can begin with a challenge or a question from a friend or a loved one. And, that’s exactly what happened when Sheri’s son, Thor, asked his Mom to come up with a light-weight raft that could stand up to some of the most demanding parts of Alaska’s wilderness in a sport, where he was an enthusiast.

In the first year, Sheri Tingey’s Alpacka Raft sold 200 carefully crafted units, but had demand beginning to pick up outside of her Alaska base. In other words, if the rafts were strong enough to withstand Alaska’s wilderness, then challenges from the Lower 48 would be easily surmountable, many potential buyers must have thought. In the process, sales have inched up from 200 to 300 to 400 and, this year, Tingey estimates that her sales will top 700 units from her whole product line with approximately 0 thousand in sales.

So, how did she wind up in Alaska so far away from her Arizona roots? After graduation from the University of Oregon with a degree in Physical Education, Sheri headed to Jackson Hole, Wyoming to ski for just “one season” before getting on with the real world. But, while she was there, she fell in love with skiing and tried to figure out a way to make a living besides waitressing. That is how she happened to start her first business, which involved making custom ski wear. Her one-piece snow gear for skiers at the time was sold through six retail shops around the US including Sun Valley, Idaho, Aspen and Vail, Colorado, Alta and Snowbird, Utah, Jackson Hole, Wyoming and Lake Placid, New York. In that chapter of her life, Sheri would ski all day and, then, she sewed late in the evening every night.

After selling her “Design by Sheri” business, which she ran from 1967 to 1982 and which was based in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, she and her husband together with their two children moved to Alaska primarily because of a job offer for her husband. But, Sheri had also wanted to sell her business, in part, due to a series of health-related challenges she was experiencing, including chronic fatigue syndrome.

After moving to Alaska, Tingey again tried to sew, but the effort simply drained her. She desperately wanted her old energy level back and, as a consequence, felt rotten because it just wasn’t coming back. At the time, her children were small and there were no programs available for them in the Alaska Bush. So, she wound up starting both a swimming and a gymnastics program for rural Alaska kids. Further, since Sheri was able to control the hours, she could also closely monitor how much energy she put out. Doing those morning or afternoon only programs, she could work these job assignments into the three good hours she had each day, where she functioned somewhat normally.

Today, Sheri has been married to her husband Ralph Tingey for 30 years. But, Sheri’s inspiration for her current business, which came at the point in life, where she was just beginning to feel good again after a nearly 20 year battle back to health, was and is her son Thor. For his part, Thor Tingey recently took several steps back from the business in order to attend law school. So, Tingey has recently taken a partner, Jim Jager, into the business to help her accomplish some of the things Thor or her husband had previously done in the business up to the time that a suitable business partner could be found. Finally, Sheri’s daughter Daphne, who is 23, will be resuming school this Fall near Boulder, Colorado, where she will continue her junior year at Naropa University in Psychology.

For Sheri Tingey and her husband, they had always wanted to move to Alaska, which she described as a state that someone either really loves or they leave it. From the beginning, she said, she and her family always kept a large dog team for racing in Alaska, even when her kids were little. Plus, she said that despite her chronic fatigue, running her dogs was not as tiring as someone might think and she very much enjoyed the experience. She really loves the wilderness in Alaska, she said, because it offers wonderful freedom to its residents. In addition, Sheri also loves to fish, hike, climb and do any kind of boating. Plus, she loves animals. And, Sheri still loves to sew and to build (which for her means carpentry work). In fact, Tingey describes the similarities between sewing and carpentry and said it was unfortunate that more people, both men and women, don’t enjoy the cross-over benefits of both disciplines. Finally, Sheri loves to read too.

In terms of her health struggles, changing her MD to someone else, who was willing to try some alternative approaches to medicine, made all the difference in regaining her health. Not just vitamins, but Sheri was willing to experiment with a wider range of treatment options than most physicians are willing to utilize. In the end, this alternative medicine approach essentially worked for her. Interestingly, Sheri’s health had substantially improved just at the point of her son’s challenge.

In turn, Mom Tingey was then excited and challenged to return to the passion of her life, which has long been design. As a child, her grandmother had taught her to sew. But, she came by the design part of her DNA make up quite naturally.

In the future, Sheri concluded she and her husband may decide to take off from November through the end of January, when Alaska experiences that long night in the state. Like many other Alaskans their age, they would/will then plan to come back by February 1st each year.

Her greatest business challenge comes down to correctly estimating the demand for her product ahead of time each year and, then, having it manufactured by Feathercraft Kayaks, which uses this down time to produce her rafts. For its part, Feathercraft Kayaks has long been known for making amazing folding kayaks. In addition, Tingey has recently overcome still another nagging problem by no longer sub-contracting to her brother-in-law in Phoenix to glue the bottoms into her rafts. Because he had previously used a bothersome glue, she changed back to Feathercraft to finish the raft they had started. Plus, the Feathercraft answer now includes a 100% environmentally friendly solution to gluing the bottom of the raft to complete the finished product. In fact, coming up with an environmentally acceptable glue has long been a challenge for all of the raft manufacturers, she confided.

Today, Sheri Tingey takes pride in her workmanship at Alpacka Raft. Now that she has been given a second chance in life to be a designer, she simply wants to make each raft last. Her short-hand way of putting it is this: “I’m just too old to make junk.” From being a classic, drop-through-the-cracks kid, Sheri has found her niche, where she excels. Plus, she makes a quality product that anyone would be proud to call their own. Since her rafts can easily last for 15 to 20 years, each year, she has to find a whole series of new customers. But, each new raft she plans and makes is built to last. And, that’s why Sheri Tingey easily qualifies as our “Alaska Entrepreneur Extraordinaire.”

WHAT EVERY HOMEOWNER NEEDS TO KNOW TO SURVIVE WHEN FACING FORECLOSURE!

Understanding the Foreclosure Process
What Is Foreclosure?

Foreclosure is the process that allows a lender to recover the amount owed on a defaulted loan by selling or taking ownership (repossession) of the property securing the loan. The foreclosure process begins when a lender files the appropriate documents with the appropriate officials (see below for more details).

Colorado Foreclosure Laws

Colorado foreclosures occur through both in-court (judicial) and out-of-court (non-judicial) proceedings.

The judicial process is used when no power of sale is present in the mortgage or deed of trust. The process begins when the mortgage lender files suit with the court system. The borrower then receives a letter from the court demanding payment. Typically, you’ll be given 30 days to respond with payment or a written response to the bank’s attorney and parties involved. If you do not respond within the time limit given, a judgment will be entered and the lender can request sale of the property by auction. If you file a written answer with the court, there is a hearing and the process takes longer and can even be forestalled. If a judgment is entered, then an auction date will be set, usually several months in the future. Once the property is sold, you’re served with an eviction notice by the sheriff’s office, and you must vacate the home immediately.

The most commonly practiced method of foreclosure in Colorado is the non-judicial foreclosure process. It is carried out by a Public Trustee who acts as an impartial party. The process begins when the lender files the required documents with the Public Trustee of the county in which the property is located. The Public Trustee then files a “Notice of Election and Demand” (NED) with the county clerk and recorder. Once the NED is recorded, the Public Trustee Sale of the property is scheduled to take place between 110 and 125 days of the recording.

Pre-foreclosure Period

Many factors can lead to default of payment on a home loan and eventually foreclosure. Many are not the fault of the homeowner. Perhaps it is due to a hardship (loss of income, military deployment, health or family issues) or to “loan fraud” or “creative financing” by the banks (Adjustable Rate or ARM, Option ARM, Negative Amortization, or Interest Only loan). Whatever the cause, facing foreclosure is not an enjoyable experience.

The foreclosure process usually begins after the homeowner has missed several payments and different attempts have been made by the bank to collect. Let’s look at what typically takes place and what you can normally expect.
Day 1: You miss your first payment
Day 1-15: Grace period (Some lenders only allow 10 days)
Day 16-30: A late charge is assessed
Day 30: Borrower is in default
Day 45-60: Lender sends “demand” or “breach” letter, and phone calls begin
Day 60-90: Lender sends letters and makes phone calls. A repayment plan or a loan modification plan may be offered.
Day 90-105: The lender refers the loan to the loss mitigation department/foreclosure department and retains an attorney to handle the foreclosure.
Day 90-?????: The lender’s attorney files the required documents with the Public Trustee, who then files a NED with the county clerk and recorder. Once the NED is recorded, the property is scheduled to be sold within 110-125 days at a Public Trustee Sale.

Notice of Sale / Auction

Once the NED (Notice of Election and Demand) is recorded, the notice must be published in a newspaper of general circulation within the county where the property is located for a period of 5 consecutive weeks. The Public Trustee must also mail a copy of the published notice to the homeowner within 10 days. At least 21 days before the Public Trustee Sale, the Public Trustee must mail a notice to the homeowner describing how to redeem the property and stop the sale.

If the homeowner wants to redeem the property and stop the Public Trustee Sale, he must file an “Intent to Cure” with the Public Trustee’s office at least 15 days prior to the foreclosure sale. He then has up till noon of the day before the sale to bring the loan current and redeem the property.

The Public Trustee typically conducts the sale at the courthouse. Bidders must register in advance and have funds available. At the sale, the public trustee reads the written bid submitted by the lender, then any registered party may bid. The winning bidder is given a certificate of purchase.

Redemption Period

There is no longer any redemption period for the homeowner after a foreclosure sale in Colorado.

How to Avoid Foreclosure -What Are Your Options?

FORECLOSURE!
It’s a harsh word that most people avoid thinking about…until they have to. If you are several months behind on your mortgage, without money for professional help, and at the end of your rope…foreclosure may be the ONLY thing you can think about. It preys on your mind and leaves you feeling lost and vulnerable to the come-ons of the unscrupulous ‘professionals’ who say that they are experts in foreclosures, but aren’t. STOP!

You may be in a difficult situation, but it is not hopeless. Foreclosure is not your only option! My name is David Stitt, and I’ve got good news for you. You do have alternatives. You just can’t see them right now. But by the time you finish this short guide, your vision will have cleared and options for your future…good options…will be right before your eyes.

You are not alone! In the United States, foreclosure filings have increased consistently over the past few years, with more new foreclosures reported in every quarter, pushing the foreclosure market to record levels. So you are not alone. But if you’re like the many thousands of people facing foreclosure, you’re scared and confused. You’re overwhelmed by the legal mumbo-jumbo of foreclosure litigation. You don’t know who or what to trust. You’ve undoubtedly been pinned to the mat by Realtors and Attorneys, warning you about the dire consequences you’ll face if you don’t use their services. Or maybe you’ve worked with mortgage brokers. They promise the world – or world-class loans – and then they don’t deliver. And then there’s the holder of your mortgage who is unwilling (maybe after months of negotiating) to budge an inch when it comes to working out a more affordable payment plan.

After all you’ve probably been through, I’m not surprised that you’ve given up hope for a ‘good’ solution and may feel resigned to accepting foreclosure and the years of damage it will do to your credit rating. Once again, STOP! Don’t fall into despair. Things are not as bad as they seem. There are other options.

A helping hand when you need it.
This Survival Guide is exactly what the name says it is: a simple, no-nonsense approach to foreclosures. It was created to help you and other homeowners become better informed about the details of the foreclosure process. I believe that knowledge is power…and I hope that this guide will give you the power to avoid foreclosure entirely.

Once you know the facts, you’ll be able to make a well-reasoned and thoughtful decision and then take action with the confidence that you’re doing what’s best for you.

On the next couple of pages, we are going to take a look at your different options and the pros and cons of each. You will be given the information you need to make a well-educated decision regarding your situation.

What Are Your Options?

Forbearance
Forbearance is a payment plan that a debtor enters into with a lender when they are unable to make timely payments, often due to illness or another temporary situation. In forbearance, the lender will allow you to delay payments for a short period. You agree that after missing payments for a few months you will bring the account current by making larger payments. The problem is, more than 85% of debtors default after the first payment. They cannot continue to make the inflated payments after the forbearance period ends, and they are right back where they started.

Loan Modification
A loan modification is a permanent change in one or more of the terms of a mortgagor’s loan. This may help you catch up by reducing the monthly payments to a more affordable level. You may qualify if you have recovered from a financial problem and can afford the new payment amount. However, Loss Mitigation Departments are now undermanned, under experienced, and overworked. Nightmare stories abound on the subject of patrons having to hound and harass Loss Mitigation Departments to get their paperwork pushed through to escape foreclosure. After all the hassle, most homeowners are still denied any help and end up in foreclosure.

Partial Claim
Your lender may be able to work with you to obtain a one-time payment (loan to be paid at end of mortgage) from the FHA-Insurance fund to bring your mortgage current. You may qualify if your loan is 4-12 months delinquent and you are able to start making full mortgage payments.

Deed-In-Lieu (Voluntary Foreclosure)
As a last resort, you may be able to voluntarily “give back” your property to the lender. You may qualify if you are in default and don’t qualify for any of the other options, your attempts at selling the house before foreclosure were unsuccessful, and you don’t have another FHA mortgage in default. “Foreclosure” will most likely be reported on your credit report.

Loan Assumption
This is where someone else takes over the payments of your loan, usually in exchange for your property. Loans made after 1988 are almost never assumable.

Bankruptcy
Many debtors will spend a lot of money for an attorney to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy – which is really a payment plan – only to lose the house. In essence you are paying the attorney instead of the lender. Before acting, know how much the process will cost and what your new increased monthly payment will be. Also know that if you miss one payment, your Chapter 13 will be dismissed and you will need to file Chapter 7. This will cost more attorney fees, assets, including your house will be liquidated and your credit report will still show a foreclosure.

Sale of Property
If the homeowner has equity in the property they can and should consider selling the property. The homeowner will receive a check at closing for equity over and above what is owed and closing costs paid. Most homeowners in foreclosure, however, have little or no equity. Be careful listing with a Realtor that can tie up your property for months.

Do Nothing
When it comes to the threat of foreclosure, procrastination is a prescription for disaster. Doing nothing changes nothing. Unless you take action, you will end up in foreclosure and your credit will suffer for the next 5-7 years.

Pre-Foreclosure Sale (Short Sale)
The pre-foreclosure sale program allows the lender in default to sell his/her home and use the net sale proceeds to satisfy the mortgage debt, even though these proceeds are less than the amount owed. It has two major advantages over a foreclosure: (1) You may be eligible for a new home loan after just 2 years instead of 5. (2) You should be able to avoid a deficiency judgment. When a house is sold at auction, the chances of the foreclosing lender filing a deficiency judgment increases dramatically. They will have years to come after you or to sell it to someone else who will.

As you can see, there are several options to consider – but consider you must! You cannot afford to stick your head in the sand like an ostrich and do nothing. Being in the state of denial is a bad state to be in! And as we said earlier, procrastination is a prescription for disaster.

Questions You Need to Ask
Questions You Need to Ask Yourself
1. If I file Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, will temporary relief from my monthly mortgage payments mean that I will be able to stop foreclosure forever…or will I be unable to keep up with my payments when they resume and I end up in foreclosure again?
2. If I choose Forbearance or a lender payment plan that gives me temporary relief from payments I can’t afford now….will I be able to afford the inflated monthly payments that I’ll have to make in the future, or will I end up in foreclosure again?
3. If I am unable to meet my monthly expenses now, can I commit to a payment plan…or should I just give up my house to a lender with a Deed In Lieu and accept the bad foreclosure mark on my credit history?
4. If I do something now, will I have more options available to me…or should I wait until the sheriff is at my doorstep with an Order to Vacate and hope that he/she will show me mercy?
5. If I consult with an experienced Real Estate Investor, will I be able to get out of this situation without ruining my credit…or is my only option to spend thousands of dollars for Attorney fees, Realtor commissions and still run the possibility of losing my house?
Questions to Ask Your Mortgage Broker
1. Do you guarantee in writing that you will close my loan before my case goes before a judge in court?
2. What interest rate will you charge?
3. How many points do you charge?
4. What will my monthly payments be compared to what they are now? Higher? Lower? The same?
5. What will the total of all closing costs be?
Questions to Ask Your Attorney
1. If I file for Chapter 13 bankruptcy, will it stop foreclosure or just stall it?
2. What are your fees for filing bankruptcy papers and handling my case?
3. What will my monthly payments be compared to what they are now? Higher? Lower? The same?
4. What happens if I default on my payments because I can’t make them?
5. Can’t I file a bankruptcy myself at the courthouse and save thousands of dollars?
Questions to Ask Your Realtor
1. Do you guarantee in writing that you’ll sell my house before my case goes before a judge in court?
2. Do I have to pay your commission if I find someone on my own who wants to buy the house?
3. How much do I owe you if you don’t sell the house and I lose it to foreclosure due to a judge’s ruling?
4. If the sale price doesn’t cover my indebtedness and your commissions, do I have to reach into my own pocket to pay you?
5. How long will your listing contract tie up the house and entitle you to a commission?
Questions to Ask Your Foreclosing Lender
1. Can you work out a payment plan (forbearance) with me and will you put everything in writing before I agree to it?
2. If I agree to these terms, will you agree in writing to stop the foreclosure?
3. What will my monthly payments be, compared to what they are now? Higher? Lower? Same?
4. If I’m late on this payment plan, do you start where you left off with the foreclosure?
5. Since forbearance means a big increase in monthly payments, can you tell me how many people end up back in foreclosure because they cannot afford the monthly payment?
What To Do Now

Step 1: Get answers to your questions.
Not only do you need answers to the questions above, but there may be other questions you are asking yourself. Don’t be intimidated by the ‘experts’ you’re consulting. Remember they work for you.

Step 2: Make a decision…and follow through on it!
Once you have the facts you can decide on how to proceed and who you need to help you. The sooner you act, the sooner you can reverse the downward spiral and change your credit from bad to better.

Step 3: Act Now!
After you’ve done your homework and feel you’ve come to an informed decision, you’re halfway there. Don’t let inertia set in. Don’t procrastinate. ACT NOW before your window of opportunity closes.

One final thing to consider: Get a Forensic Loan Audit!

A large majority of the loans made during the last 10 years, especially sub-prime and adjustable rate mortgages were not done properly and have errors and violations.

The Forensic Loan Audit is the FIRST STEP you should take to properly prepare for any type of litigation or any type of solution when dealing with your lender. Audits are used as a valuable tool to get your file to the top of the lender pile and to get your case noticed and heard!

The more violations found in your mortgage, the more LEVERAGE you have to argue your case against your lender. With millions of homeowners requesting financial solutions, it is increasingly more difficult to get the results you want when you need them. You need every tool, every amount of leverage possible! The Forensic Loan Audit is that tool!

Candid Options to Finance Your Dream House among Golden Homes for Sale CO

Many Americans are beginning to realize their dreams of purchasing their dream abodes.  The City of Golden is a home rule municipality that is the county seat of Jefferson County, Colorado.  It lies along Clear Creek at the edge of the foothills of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains.  Aside from this scenic and popular tourist destination, also known as Rockies, other locals’ and visitors’ favorites are Golden Bike Park, Alpine Action Heritage Square, the Coors Brewery, Dinosaur Ridge, National Renewable Energy Lab Visitors Center, the Historic Downtown, Farmer’s Market, Fossil Trace Golf Course, among many others.  Dining, shopping, and many other indoor and outdoor activities are all rounded up here, and where Western lifestyle is revived anew.

And since the sales market is flooded with houses for sale and prices are at their lowest (Golden homes for sale included), home buyers cannot help but get too excited.   Financing options are that many as well, and most of them offer low mortgage interest rates or reasonable payment terms.  You can choose which financing option is most suitable for you, aptly considering these factors – your monthly income, financial stability, and other resources for payment for your new home.   Here is a short list of the financing options that are most commendable by experts and are fitting for different home buyers:

Conventional or fixed-rate loans – The interest rate for this type of loan does not change during the entire period of the loan, usually with options of 15 to 30 years.  This is typically used by buyers with fixed or minimum monthly wage or financial resources.  Given though that you intend to stay long at the property you chose in Golden real estate, jumbo loan – a kind of fixed-mortgage loan – is most preferable to use.  Balloon loans are fixed-rate mortgages based on a 30-year amortization; with a conditional right to modify and extend at the end of the balloon term (most commonly 5 or 7 year balloon terms).  The interest rates are lower than long-term fixed programs and are very advantageous for borrowers who are likely to move within the balloon term. The lower mortgage rates and payments maximize purchasing power.  Equity builds slower than with shorter amortization products and balloons usually require a larger down payment. You will not be eligible for conditional refinance if rates rise by more than 5% above noterate.

Adjustable rate mortgages (ARM) – In this type of loan, the interest rate changes or fluctuates, based on some specific indeces.   This is usually appealing to many house buyers as lenders provide both a large amount of loan and interest rates are low at first.  Home buyers also assume the risk, hoping that interest rates will not increase during the period.  

A hybrid ARM is an adjustable-rate mortgage that blends the characteristics of a fixed-rate mortgage and an adjustable-rate mortgage.  This type of mortgage will have an initial fixed interest rate period followed by an adjustable rate period.  After the fixed interest rate expires, the interest rate starts to adjust based on an index plus a margin.  The date at which the mortgage changes from the fixed rate to the adjustable rate is referred to as the reset date.  Hybrid ARMs are ideal for borrowers who plan to live in their homes for a relatively short period, want a lower monthly payment, or would like to qualify for a larger mortgage.  The 5/1 hybrid ARM, a popular choice, has a fixed rate of interest for the first five years; in subsequent years the rate is adjusted annually.

Federal Housing Administration-insured loans and those guaranteed by the Veterans Affairs - FHA loans have lower down payment requirements and are easier to qualify than conventional loans. FHA loans cannot exceed the statutory limit.  FHA loans are designed for low to moderate income borrowers who are unable to make a large down payment.  FHA loans allow the borrower to borrow up to 97% of the value of the home.  The 3% down payment requirement can come from a gift or a grant, which makes FHA loans popular with first-time buyers. 

On the other hand, VA-guaranteed loans can be availed of by eligible U.S. veterans and active military personnel.  The basic intention of the VA direct home loan program is to supply home financing to eligible veterans in areas where private financing is not generally available and to help veterans purchase properties with no down payment.  Eligible areas are designated by the VA as housing credit shortage areas and are generally rural areas and small cities and towns not near metropolitan or commuting areas of large cities.  VA loans offer up to 100% financing on the value of a home.  To qualify for this, borrowers must present a certificate of eligibility, which establishes their record of military service, to the lender.

These are just a handful of the many financing options available now for first- and nth-time home buyers.  Have lenders assess your finances, so as to grant you a loan which suits you best.

Soccer Betting, Mls Teams Vying for the Playoffs

Soccer Betting, MLS Teams Vying for the Playoffs

The MLS playoffs are approaching and some teams are fighting to make the playoffs while others are battling for positioning. Less than four weeks still remain and Chicago, Columbus and Colorado are battling for the final playoff spot. Red Bull New York and Kansas City need only to not fall apart while FC Dallas looks to be safe as well. D.C. United, New England, Houston and Chivas USA have officially clinched playoff spots. Real Salt Lake, Toronto and Los Angeles are hanging on but realistically have very little chance of making the playoffs.

Soccer Betting at SBG Global

The reality is the final spot is going to go to either Chicago or Columbus. Colorado still has a little hope because of a couple of key home games. The problem for the Rapids is that they are looking at probable losses at New England and Chivas USA. Chicago has to travel to Chivas USA and D.C. United while hosting New England. None of those games will be easy but if they are still in the chase they do host Los Angeles to end the season. Columbus probably has the best chance to make the playoffs because they have the most favorable schedule. They host Los Angeles and Dallas with road games at New England at D.C. United. The road games are not impossible because New England and D.C. United may be resting players for the playoffs in those games.

The top spots in the MLS are pretty much decided. D.C. United, New England, Chivas USA and Houston have pretty much wrapped things up. FC Dallas has a shot at catching Houston but is not playing well enough to do it. Red Bull New York would need a major run at the end to catch New England and that is not likely. That means in the East it will be D.C. United and New England with the top two spots and in the West Chivas USA and Houston will likely take the top two positions.

Keep in mind that finishing first or second guarantees a home advantage for the one-game conference championship if a team gets that far. In the current playoff format that started four years ago, the home team is 6-2 in the conference finals.
