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).

Reach the most local qualified buyers while retaining the right to sell your home For Sale By Owner, saving you thousands of dollars. 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.
