Why Choose a Flat Fee MLS Listing?

MLS Exposure With More Control

Professional MLS Exposure Without a Percentage-Based Listing Commission

A flat fee MLS listing—also known as a flat rate MLS listing—gives you professional access to the same local MLS used by participating real estate agents for one predetermined listing fee. Select Premium Properties enters and maintains the MLS listing, while you manage showings, buyer communication, offers and negotiations directly.

What Stays the Same?

A lower listing fee does not mean a different MLS or a lesser listing.

✓

The Same Local MLS

Your property is entered into the same MLS database local participating agents use to find properties for their buyers.

✓

Major Website Exposure

The MLS distributes your listing to Realtor.com, Homes.com, Zillow and participating local and national brokerage websites.

✓

A Professional Brokerage Listing

Select Premium Properties appears as the listing brokerage. The flat listing fee you paid is not displayed in the MLS.

✓

Agent and Buyer Access

Participating agents can find the property, request showings and communicate with you about questions and offers.

Understand the Difference

Flat Fee MLS vs. a Traditional Listing Service

Flat Fee or Flat Rate MLS

You Manage the Sale

  • Pay a predetermined MLS listing fee rather than a percentage-based listing commission.
  • Receive showing requests and agent inquiries directly.
  • Communicate with buyers and agents and negotiate offers yourself.
  • Decide what compensation, if any, to offer an agent who brings you a buyer.
  • Schedule showings and open houses around your availability.
  • Use optional broker contract review if you want additional guidance.
Traditional Full-Service Listing

The Listing Agent Manages More

  • The listing agent typically coordinates marketing, showings and communications.
  • The agent generally advises on offers and conducts negotiations on your behalf.
  • The listing service is commonly paid through an agreed-upon commission or fee.
  • The service may be a better fit when you do not have the time or desire to manage the sale.
  • Services, responsibilities and compensation vary by brokerage and listing agreement.
More Control. More Potential Savings.

You Decide How Your Sale Is Managed

You control showing availability, buyer communication, offer negotiations and the compensation, if any, offered to an agent who brings you a buyer. Because the listing fee is not calculated as a percentage of the sale price, a higher-priced property does not create a higher listing fee.

Estimate Your Potential Savings

You receive:

  • MLS listing and participating website exposure
  • Buyer and agent inquiries we receive forwarded to you
  • Showing requests and feedback delivered directly
  • Forms and resources within your online account
  • Seven-day client support with broker availability

Is a Flat Rate MLS Listing Right for You?

The strongest fit is an owner who wants professional exposure and is comfortable remaining involved.

It May Be a Good Fit If You:

  • Want your property listed in the MLS and on major real estate websites
  • Can respond promptly to showing requests and inquiries
  • Are comfortable communicating and negotiating directly
  • Want control over agent compensation and other sale terms
  • Prefer a transparent, predetermined listing fee

Full Service May Be Better If You:

  • Want an agent to manage most communication and scheduling
  • Prefer an agent to conduct negotiations on your behalf
  • Do not have time to monitor the listing and respond promptly
  • Want ongoing hands-on guidance throughout every part of the transaction
