How Flat Fee MLS Works

The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and Realtor.com® are two tools traditional full-commission agents use to find homes for buyers. The MLS is the local listing database that all agents use to find homes to show buyers. Realtor.com® is a national website where the public can view these MLS listings.

Use the MLS and Realtor.com® to sell your home for a low flat fee and pay no listing agent commission. Choose Realtor.com® Showcase if you mostly want to reach independent buyers searching online. List on the MLS (which includes a Realtor.com® listing) if you also want to reach local agents using the MLS to find homes for their buyers (4 out of 5 homes are sold through the MLS).

You can choose how much commission to offer a buyer’s agent (typically 2% - 3%), but that is half the cost of hiring a traditional full-commission agent.
