It's a simple choice that will save you thousands: Sellers reap substantial savings when they use a Flat Fee MLS listing service rather than a traditional, commissioned real estate agent.
Where Your Savings Come From
If you hire a traditional real estate agent to list your home, you'll likely pay them between 2.5% and 3% of your home's sale price—and that adds up fast. But with a Flat Fee MLS service, the fee to sell is typically less than $1,000.
The Buyer's Agent
Even with a Flat Fee MLS listing, you will need to pay the buyer’s agent a commission. (If your buyer doesn’t have an agent, you'll save even more!) The good news is, you have complete control over how much commission you offer.
How Much You'll Save
