Flat Fee MLS Questions and Answers

Listing on the MLS for a flat fee is the exact same thing as listing with a 6% REALTOR®. You are just paying less money to get the exact same service. We are REALTORS® and a BROKER. Your listing looks exactly the same as all other listings. You can sell your property to someone not represented by an agent and NOT pay a buyer agent commission, however if an agent brings a buyer, that agent will need to be paid a commission.

Note: Due to the NAR rule change, the seller will no longer have the option to include an offer of compensation to the buyer agent within the listing agreement or on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).  Buyer agents will be required to have a signed contract with their client stipulating the cost of buyer agent representation. The buyer will have the option to direct their agent to request compensation from the seller upon submitting or negotiating an offer, however, the request cannot be more than the commission/fee in the buyer representation contract.
