Flat Fee MLS Listing Service

In today’s market, due to the current Real State financial situation, selling your home for sale by owner has became very appealing. One of the most important steps to create a successful FSBO experience is to register your home on the MLS using a flat fee listing service such as FlatFee.com. Along with other benefits, FlatFee.com provides the following:

MLS Listing Services

In today's real estate market we are in a buyers market. That simply means that there are more properties for sale than buyers to buy them. Plus, every neighborhood has bank owned properties and bank short sales that further add to the total volume of homes for sale. These bank properties are often sold for discounted prices so that the bank can disengage themselves from the property as fast as possible. These discounted prices are not only affecting local neighborhood real estate prices but may possibly spread to the entire region.

For these reasons, our MLS flat fee listing program was designed to allow you to keep the listing active for the longest time possible with one flat fee payment of $295. Keep in mind that you may cancel the MLS listing at any time and for any reason.

No Listing Commission

Traditional full service real estate Brokers charge 6% commission to list a property on the MLS.  It is usual that 3% is for the listing Broker and 3% for the buyers agent. A listing commission may be negotiated up or down as well as the buyers agent commission.

FlatFee.com simply charges a one time flat fee of $295 for listings on the MLS. You save the traditional 3% listing commission. Of course, you need to offer and pay the buyers agent commission at the time of closing.

Showcase on Realtor.com

Realtor.com is the public side of the MLS. It is the largest of all the sites with more than 4 million MLS listings displayed. Realtor.com states that their website comprises 84% of all public website real estate searches. Although other public websites are beginning to have a broad appeal and they are definitely becoming household names in real estate, combined, their entire presence accumulates to 16% of the public viewing market.
Realtor.com is the largest, most well known and has the most current data base in the marketplace. Your listing with FlatFee.com will be showcased on Realtor.com.

Public Websites

You may list your property on our public website yourself. Simply complete the simple home listing form, upload your photos, compose a paragraph describing the features of your property and for security….set up a password so that you may make changes at any time to your website listing. Since this website is public it is not required to follow typical MLS rules.

You may include your email address and contact phone numbers. People searching our web page may view your listing and photos, then contact you directly by using your email address or calling you directly. This is unlike the MLS which forbids such items by being seen from the viewing public.

  • A Buyer viewing your free listing may not be working with a Realtor and you may save all commissions.
  • With placing your listing on this site it will be uploaded to 20 + websites automatically! Craigslist, Oodle, Frontdoor, Hotpads.com, Fizber, Vast and many more.
