How to List Your Home on the MLS with Attain RE

Simple, Fast, and Affordable MLS Listing Services for Iowa Home Sellers

Getting your home listed on the MLS has never been easier. At Attain RE, we've streamlined the process so homeowners throughout Des Moines, West Des Moines, Waukee, Clive, Ankeny, Johnston, Urbandale, Norwalk, and all of Central Iowa can quickly gain access to the same Multiple Listing Service (MLS) used by traditional real estate brokerages.

Whether you're looking for a Flat Fee MLS Listing in Iowa, a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) MLS Listing, or a Discount Realtor in Des Moines, our process is designed to get your property in front of buyers as quickly as possible.

Step 1: Order Your Listing Package

Once you've decided that a Flat Fee MLS Listing is right for you, simply place your order online or by phone. Our team is available to answer questions and help you determine which listing package best fits your needs and budget.

Whether you choose our Showcase, Premium, or Full-Service package, you'll receive professional support from a licensed Iowa Real Estate Broker.

Step 2: Receive Your Listing Materials

Most sellers receive their yard sign and lockbox within approximately two business days.

These tools help increase visibility for your property and make it easier for potential buyers and buyer agents to access your home for showings.

Step 3: Complete Your Listing Information

After placing your order, you'll immediately receive access to our listing setup process.

You'll receive:

  • Order confirmation
  • Listing instructions
  • Required listing forms
  • Seller disclosures
  • Helpful resources and guidance
  • Receipt for your purchase

Our step-by-step process is designed to make listing your home simple, even if you've never sold a property before.

Step 4: Submit Your Documents

Complete the required forms and return them by email.

Our team carefully reviews all submitted information to ensure your property details are accurate and complete before the listing goes live.

Accurate information helps buyers find your property and reduces delays once offers begin arriving.

Step 5: Send Your Property Photos

High-quality photos are one of the most important factors in attracting buyers online.

You can email your property photos directly to our team. We recommend including:

  • Exterior front view
  • Backyard and outdoor spaces
  • Kitchen
  • Living areas
  • Bedrooms
  • Bathrooms
  • Garage
  • Special features and upgrades

Properties with strong photography often receive more online views, more showing requests, and greater buyer interest.

Step 6: MLS Listing Activation

Once all documents and photos have been received and reviewed, we can typically have your property active on the MLS within 1–2 business days.

Your listing may then appear across many of the major real estate websites where buyers search for homes online, helping maximize your property's exposure.

This gives your home visibility alongside listings from traditional real estate brokerages while allowing you to benefit from the savings offered through Attain RE's Flat Fee MLS Listing Program.

Step 7: Review and Approve Your Listing

After your property is activated, we'll send you a copy of your MLS listing for review.

We encourage sellers to carefully verify:

  • Property address
  • Square footage
  • Room counts
  • Features and upgrades
  • School information
  • Pricing
  • Photos
  • Remarks and descriptions

Our goal is to ensure your listing is accurate, professional, and positioned to attract qualified buyers.
