What Is Flat-Fee MLS?
A flat-fee MLS is a service provided through a real estate broker for sellers listing their homes as FSBO (for sale by owner). You pay a one-time, flat fee to have your FSBO property listed on the MLS, which you can’t do alone. It’s different than a traditional arrangement where you work with a realtor and pay a percentage of the sale price. Even though a broker adds you to the MLS, you still retain control of the process – so it works like a traditional FSBO listing with some added perks.
Why It’s Important to Have an MLS Listing When Selling Your Home FSBO
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is a central database of homes for sale. It’s where real estate agents find and share information about properties. Listing in the MLS is important because it gives you more exposure to potential buyers who are searching on their own as well as real estate agents who are working on behalf of buyers.
If your home is not on the MLS, it will be more difficult to find, and some buyers and buyer agents might avoid it. Appearing on the MLS gives you more credibility, which expands the number of people who will consider your home.
Listing on the MLS also allows you to share specific, accurate details about your home, helping you connect with the right buyer. Interested parties can review the details to ensure your home is a good match before they schedule a showing.
Why Use Flat-Fee MLS Services to Sell Your Home vs. Traditional REALTOR Services?
Using a flat-fee MLS service like Community FSBO offers many benefits over a traditional approach. The biggest difference is the cost. You pay one flat fee versus a percentage of the selling price for the seller’s side of the deal, which can save you significantly. If you sell to a buyer without an agent, you also save the real estate commission on that side of the agreement.
You also maintain control over your listing like a true FSBO situation. You decide what to include in the listing, how you set your price, and what type of buyer’s commission you want to offer. Using a flat-fee MLS service lets you handle the negotiations and decide which offer to accept.
