What is the Flat Fee MLS? 
There are two types of real estate agents those that:
- LIST properties for sale in the MLS and those that
- SELL properties to qualified buyers
LISTING agents drive around neighborhoods looking for properties to LIST in the MLS. When you first placed your 'For Sale By Owner' sign in your yard, did you noticed the only agents that came to your door were agents that wanted to LIST your home and not SELL your home to a buyer? Your 'For Sale By Owner' sign acts as a powerful magnet that attracts LISTING agents.
SELLING agents or Buyer's agents work with qualified buyers. They search the MLS exclusively for properties that meet their buyer's needs. If you are willing to pay an agent to bring you a qualified buyer then your property needs to be listed in the MLS.
How Does the Flat Fee MLS Listing Service SAVE You Money?
Lets assume in a traditional real estate transaction the commission is negotiated at 6%. The LISTING broker will receive 3% to LIST your property in the MLS and the SELLING broker will receive 3% to SELL your property.
With Total Choice Realty Flat Fee MLS Listing Service instead of charging you a percentage of your sales price at closing, we LIST your property in the MLS for a low flat listing fee. If a SELLING agent brings you a qualified buyer you will pay a commission to the SELLING broker only at closing. By utilizing our Flat Fee MLS Listing Service, you also reserve the right to show, sell and advertise your property yourself. If you sell your property to a buyer not working
with an agent you pay NO COMMISSION!
By LISTING your home in the local MLS you will be marketing your home to thousands of SELLING Agents and their clients. Your listing will also be advertised on Realtor.com (the #1 Buyer's access site to the MLS).
More than 90% of all homes are SOLD as a direct result of the MLS enormous targeted exposure.
