What is Flat Fee Listing?

Traditional real estate listings involve paying a commission—typically a percentage of the final sale price—to a real estate agent for their services. This usually ends up costing you thousands of dollars. In contrast, flat fee listings require a one-time, fixed payment to list your property on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and all the same major housing sites that a traditional listing would be found on. 
Flat fee listings on the MLS offer a cost-effective way to market your property while retaining control over the sale process. By opting for a flat fee listing, you pay a one-time, predetermined fee to list your property on the MLS, rather than a traditional commission-based model. This approach allows you to reach a wide audience of potential buyers while saving on overall costs. With flat fee listings, you benefit from the extensive exposure that the MLS provides, helping your property stand out in the market, all while keeping more of your sale proceeds. It’s an ideal choice for savvy sellers who want to maximize their investment and streamline their selling experience. You can choose the amount of involvement you want an agent to have in the sale process by picking between one of our three packages. If you decide you want something different- you can talk to one of our agents about a full service listing so they can tailor an agreement to your exact needs!

Why Flat Fee over FSBO? 

Flat fee listings offer distinct advantages over for sale by owner (FSBO) approaches. While FSBO can save on commission fees, it also means you miss out on the MLS's broad exposure, which is crucial for reaching serious buyers. Flat fee listings give you the same MLS visibility as traditional listings, enhancing your property's reach, while still saving on commission costs. Additionally, flat fee services often provide professional support and guidance, which can simplify the selling process compared to the self-managed approach of FSBO.
