Selling your home? It’s not enough to list it online and wait for a buyer. You also need a solid marketing strategy to sell it as soon as possible. This will be easier with a flat fee MLS listing. Why? Because listing on the MLS allows you to reach that crucial 90% of home buyers who are searching online or working with a real estate agent.
This approach essentially involves paying a small fixed fee that’s significantly less than what you'd pay a traditional real estate agent, and it can be particularly helpful if you're planning to list your home as a "for sale by owner" or FSBO listing. It lets you avoid paying that typical 6% commission to a traditional agent while still promoting your property where it matters. Once your home is on the MLS, it will also appear on top national websites like Realtor.com and Trulia. This can push your home’s marketing so more buyers and real estate agents can find it.
How do flat-fee MLS listings differ from traditional listings?
Both types of listings can get your property onto the MLS. But with a traditional listing, you work with a real estate agent who earns a commission based on your home's final sale price. That commission typically runs between 5-6% of the sale, so if your home sells for $500,000, you'd be looking at a $30,000 commission for the agent. This commission covers the agent's services, which may include staging advice, professional photography, negotiation support, etc., but it also significantly cuts into your net profit.
A flat fee MLS listing works differently — you pay a much smaller fixed fee to have your home listed on the MLS. You handle aspects of the sale yourself, from scheduling showings to negotiating directly with potential buyers, but you also don’t have to pay an agent a percentage-based commission. The key to making the most of your flat fee MLS listing is to choose a service provider that offers FSBO packages that will effectively market your home on the MLS without hidden fees.
