What is Flat Fee Listing?
Flat Fee MLS refers to the practice in the real estate industry of a seller entering into an "à la carte service agreement" with a real estate broker who accepts a flat fee rather than a percentage of the sale price for the listing side of the transaction. A flat fee MLS brokerage typically unbundles the services a traditional real estate brokerage offers and lists the property for sale in the local Dallas, Texas multiple listing service (MLS) à la carte without requiring the seller to use all services.
Flat fee MLS, also known as limited service MLS or discount MLS, is a type of real estate listing service where a property owner or seller lists their property for sale on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for a flat fee, rather than paying a traditional real estate commission. The flat fee MLS service typically includes listing the property on the MLS and providing a limited range of services such as taking photos, preparing the property description, and handling some administrative tasks.
What is the advantage of flat fee listing?
The main advantage of using a flat fee MLS service is that it can save the seller a substantial amount of money on real estate commission fees, which can be as high as 6% of the sale price. However, the seller typically has to handle many of the tasks that would normally be performed by a full-service real estate agent, such as negotiating with buyers and handling paperwork. Do not do business with a 3rd party referral site.
It's important to note that while a flat fee MLS service may seem like a good option for sellers looking to save money, it's not right for everyone. Sellers should consider their own skills, knowledge, and comfort level when it comes to selling real estate, and weigh the costs and benefits of using a flat fee MLS service before making a decision. Knowing how to sell real estate is very important and a good full service flat fee broker can help with the entire process
