❓ What Is a Flat Fee MLS Listing?
A flat fee MLS listing service allows For Sale By Owner (FSBO) sellers to list a home on the MLS without a traditional Realtor. For a low, one-time flat fee, your property is listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)—giving you maximum exposure on Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and hundreds of local agent websites.
❓ How Much Does a Flat Fee MLS Listing Cost?
Our flat fee MLS listing packages start at just $149, depending on your property type and state. You pay a small upfront fee with no listing commission, helping you sell your home and keep more equity. You choose the buyer’s agent commission, if any.
❓ Can I Cancel My Flat Fee MLS Listing Anytime?
Yes. Our service has no long-term contract or cancellation fees. You can cancel your MLS listing online through your FSBO dashboard at any time—no questions asked.
❓ Will My Home Listing Appear on Zillow, Realtor.com, and Redfin?
Yes. All flat fee MLS listings are automatically syndicated to top real estate websites including Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia, Redfin, and hundreds of brokerage websites powered by your local MLS. This ensures nationwide exposurefor your FSBO property.
❓ What Happens if I Find the Buyer Myself?
If you find a buyer on your own—through Craigslist, Facebook Marketplace, yard signs, or word-of-mouth—you pay $0 commission. You’re fully in control, and we provide the necessary purchase contract templates, disclosures, and MLS compliance support.
❓ What if My Listing Involves an Assignment, Power of Attorney, or Novation Agreement?
If your property is being sold using an Assignment of Contract (AIF), Power of Attorney (POA), or a Novation Agreement, we charge a minimum 1% success fee at closing, regardless of who brings the buyer. These types of deals require extra compliance. Please contact our office for your state-specific rules and documentation requirements.
❓ Do I Need a Real Estate License to List My FSBO Home on the MLS?
No, you don’t. Our service provides a licensed real estate broker to list your property on the MLS on your behalf. We ensure full legal and MLS compliance, so you can focus on selling your home by owner with peace of mind.

Once your property is listed and live on the MLS, no refunds will be issued for any reason. By proceeding with your listing, you acknowledge and agree that services are considered fully rendered once your property is activated on the MLS, regardless of future sale status or listing duration.
Summary:
