Is Flat Fee MLS Listing For You?
Only if you want to Save Thousands of Dollars while retaining control of your real estate transaction!
Flat fee MLS Listing is fast becoming one of the most popular ways of selling a home in the United States
and Canada. Unlike a strictly For Sale By Owner sale, Flat Fee MLS offers home sellers the same high level
of marketing exposure once available only to traditional REALTOR®s charging 5% to 6% of the sales price of
your home.
* With a Flat Fee MLS Listing you pay a low flat fee (usually between $300.00 and $700.00) to list your home in
the REALTOR® Multiple Listing Service (MLS). You also agree to pay a real estate agent who procures a
buyer for your home a fee or commission.
* Unlike traditional real estate brokerage, with Flat Fee MLS if you sell on your own without a buyer agent,
you pay only the low, flat fee. For an average seller that translates to a savings of $2,500 to $5,500 per
$100,000 of their sales price.
* Why is the MLS so effective? Because all of the REALTOR®s in your market use the MLS to locate
properties to show their buyers. And since the vast majority of home buyers use a REALTOR® when
purchasing a home, the MLS literally controls the market for home sales.
* According to the National Association of REALTOR®s (NAR) , the MLS is the most effective method of
marketing your home to the public representing over 80% of residential sales transactions. A properly priced
listing in the MLS virtually assures you a sale of your home in the least amount of time for the highest
possible price.

maximizing your marketing exposure AND retaining control over your real estate transaction while saving
thousands of dollars in equity. Why pay more?
How Flat Fee MLS Listing Works
Flat Fee MLS Listing gives you tremendous home marketing exposure without the traditionally high
associated real estate commissions.
* Instead of paying a traditional real estate agent 5% - 7% of your home's value, flat fee MLS allows you to sell
your home without paying a listing commission.
* Traditionally a listing agent charges you say 6% of the gross sales price of your home for the priviledge of
having your home listed in the MLS among other services.
* With a flat fee MLS, the listing broker only charges you a low, one-tme, flat rate for access to the MLS and
Realtor.com.
* With flat fee MLS, you eliminate the listing commission and pay only the buyer agent who ACTUALLY sells
your home.
* With Flat Fee MLS Listing, YOU RETAIN THE RIGHT TO SELL ON YOUR OWN AND PAY NO COMMISSION!

Agent's #1 Home Selling Tools
An MLS Listing is the most important home selling tool you can have...
* MLS Listing is a real estate agent's number one selling tool. Nothing else even comes close. A properly
priced home in the MLS is virtually guaranteed a sale even if you do no other marketing.
* In fact, nationally over 80% of homes sell through the MLS system. In most areas, the MLS IS THE MARKET!
So if your home is not listed in the MLS, your missing out on 80% of the market thereby drastically reducing
demand for your home.
* Listing your home in the REALTOR® MLS dramatically increases the number of potential home buyers who
are exposed to your
property's home selling information.
* More exposure means more potential buyers see your home resulting in a higher sales price and faster
selling time for you.
And, according to syndicated real estate columnist Robert Bruss, right now, about 70% of home buyers start
their search for a home on the Internet, most of them at Realtor.com.
* Realtor.com is the world's largest repository of residential property listing data with over 1,000,000 homes
listed for sale and available for public viewing at any given time.
* The only way to get your home's information and picture onto Realtor.com is through a real estate broker
member of the REALTOR® MLS.
* Flat fee MLS means you may have to perform some of the services a listing agent would normally perform,
like holding open the door for prospective buyers, filling in the blanks on a real estate contract form, and
negotiating with prospective buyers, ordering your own termite inspection, etc. but consider this:
You will save approximately $2,500.00 to $5,500.00 for every $100,000 of your sales price using Flat Fee MLS!
Now that's worth a little extra effort.
