Flat Rate MLS
For Sale By Owner MLS

There are basically two choices you have once you decide to list your home for sale, lot or land for sale or home for rent in the MLS: Flat Fee MLS listing (or Discount MLS Listing), such as with our company, or Traditional. When listing your property in the MLS with a full-service Real Estate company, a listing commission is charged. This listing commission is usually based on the sales price of your home / land or lot (or rental price) and will usually range anywhere from 3-6% for homes and land and 25%-50% of one month's rent for rental homes. Keep in mind this has nothing to do with the buyer's agent commission (or renter's agent commission), which can run you another 3-6% (25-50% for rentals) of your sales price. This means that 6-12% of the price of your home / land or lot will go to Real Estate Agents (or 50-100% of one month's rent for rental homes).

Instead of paying a large listing commission to a traditional real estate agency to list your property in the MLS, you can list with us for only $195. A small commission, of your choice, will be due to the buyer's agent who brings you a ready, willing and able buyer. And remember, if you sell your land or lot on your own, without any Realtor® involved, you will owe no commission to anyone!
