Frequently Asked Questions

The MLS is a private database that was created, maintained and paid for by Real Estate Professionals to help clients buy and sell property. The MLS is directly responsible for the majority of real estate transactions nationwide. In fact, over 75% of all properties sold were listed in the MLS. Many buyers will contact a real estate agent when they are ready to purchase a property. Agents will search an MLS system they are members of for properties matching the buyer’s criteria.

A flat fee MLS listing allows one of our affiliate partners to list your property on the MLS for a one time low fee as opposed to the normal 6-7% commission. You can benefit by having your property listed on the MLS while still retaining the right to sell your property by owner. You retain the right to find your own buyers and sell your property without working with any agents and pay no commission at closing. Pay 2-3% if the buyer is represented by an agent. You will only pay commission to the selling agent, therefore, saving you half of the normal commission of 6-7%.

No. The only way to get your property listed into the local MLS and Realtor.com® is to have a licensed Realtor® who is a member of the MLS for your property.

There are no additional fees to pay under a non-mls listing if you sell directly to an unrepresented buyer. However, in some states, it may be required that you pay an additional MLS fee or administrative fee at closing whether there is an agent or not. Please check with your assigned broker for additional fees that may be due at closing.

Yes. If a REALTOR® representing a buyer shows and sells your property to their client, you will be required to pay that REALTOR® a commission that you have previously noted on your listing agreement. The point of doing a flat fee listing is to save you money. You still want to be able to market your property with an attractive commission rate. Remember: The commission you offer may affect if and how quickly your property sells.
