Home owners looking to sell their homes themselves (For Sale By Owners – FSBOs) find Flat Fee MLS listing as the most important tool in their arsenal. It gives them everything a listing agent can provide, but for a small flat fee. It offers MLS’ exposure while cutting out the listing side of the commission. Home sellers can work directly with the buyer’s agent or the buyer, if unrepresented. Home sellers should offer the buyer’s agent a commission - By doing this, they typically save about half of the commission but still sell their home for top dollar and rather quickly.
