Flat Fee MLS

How it works

In a typical real estate transaction, a listing agent will list your house on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and another realtor who has a buyer may find the listing and sell the property. The listing agent may list the property at commisions of 5-6% +/- and split the commision with a buyer agent or cooperating agent as a called "co-broker" sale.

Flat fee listing the logic is simple, large commissions split in a "co-broker" fashion is eliminated and replaced with a small flat listing fee with the same commission paid to a buyer agent or cooperating agent only upon procurement of a buyer. The same commission paid to the buyers agent (normally around 2-3%) prevents the cooperating agent from being discouraged on dealing with flat fee listing since they earn the same amount of commission both flat fee listing or "co-broker" method. This would allow the seller to save the listing agent commission which on a normal situation would be around 2.8% of the commission, depending on the value of the property this could amount to tens or thousands of dollars. The MLS listing of a "co-broker" property and an MLS listing of a Flat Fee Listing property is EXACTLY the same.

You will still be able to sell your property by owner yet you will have the exposure provided by the MLS! To list a property on MLS, a seller must have the assistance of a licensed Real Estate Broker. There is no public access to list property on MLS. However, even though it is required that a licensed real estate broker be involved to list on MLS this service should not be at a high cost. So our Flat Fee Listing service provides sellers from all over the USA licensed brokers in your home state to list your property in the MLS for only a minimal upfront Flat Fee, instead of a large 2-3% commission. As discussed earlier the cooperating buyers agent still gets his commission.
