Flat Fee MLS Listing $199-$499 — CLICK HERE is a way of listing your home on the MLS and various public web sites, such as Realtor.com®, for a Flat Fee (paid at time of listing), instead of a commission of ±5-6% which is normally paid at closing.  If a buyer’s broker sells your home, you would still have to pay that broker ±2½-3% but sometimes there is no buyer’s broker and the flat fee alone ends up being your total cost to sell. Research has shown that this is the most cost effective way to market your home on the MLS. The reason that listing you home on the MLS for a Flat Fee is most cost effective is because you are getting all the marketing services that “traditional agents” use for a much lower cost. Most Flat Fee MLS Listing companies even allow you to sell your home as a For Sale By Owner while being listed. This is a great way to save even more money because a potential buyer may see your home on a web site, and contact you directly, saving you thousands in commissions. Traditional real estate companies will sometimes let you sell your own home, but more often than not you will owe that company a high commission.  With Flat Fee MLS companies, you will only ever owe a partial (½) commission to the broker that finds a buyer and only if there is such a broker; never if you find the buyer without another brokers assistance. Flat Fee MLS Listing is the best way to sell your home, period!

You will find many Flat Fee MLS Listing companies on the internet, so how do you know a legitimate company, when you find one. Flat Fee MLS Marketing has done the homework for you.
