FLAT FEE MLS
List your property in the MLS for a flat listing fee as low as $495 instead of agreeing to pay a Realtor 6%. Pay an agent who brings you a buyer 2% to 3% (varies by area). If you find a buyer, you don't pay any commission at all! (We'll let you do the math of 6% of the value of your home versus $495.)
You get a professional MLS listing with all the essentials that 6% agents provide, PLUS all the cost saving benefits of selling as a "For Sale By Owner" for a flat fee.
Why being listed in MLS is so important
- MLS stands for "Multiple Listing Service", and is "the real estate market".
- Over 90% of all properties sold in the US are as a result of MLS listing exposure.
- Being listed in MLS means all the local Realtors can find your home in their MLS database.
- Buyers can find your home on thousands of public MLS websites, where they are most likely to be searching for a home. MLS listed properties (for sale by owner or not) sell faster and for more money than non-MLS listed "for sale by owner" properties.
Why a Flat Fee MLS Listing is better than listing with a 6% Realtor
- You get the same MLS listing in the same local MLS for a one-time low Flat Fee instead of 6%.
- If you sell your home without a buyer's agent involved, there is zero commission.
- More exposure on hundreds of national MLS websites.
- Exposure to by owner buyers.

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 you need a Realtor to list your home in MLS
Only a licensed real estate broker who belongs to the MLS and pays the MLS dues and fees is able to list a property. An individual can't simply post an "ad" in MLS, like placing an ad in a newspaper. The real estate broker is also responsible for the accuracy of the listing, and keeping it current. For example, the broker can lose his MLS membership or pay heavy fines if a property is under contract or sold, but still listed as "Active" in MLS. When you list with us, a licensed broker who belongs to the MLS where your property is located will be assigned to your listing.
