About Us

At USFlatFeeListing.com, we believe that listing a property on MLS (Multiple Listing Service) should not be costly. Traditionally, a seller’s agent will list a property on MLS for a commission of 5-6%. Upon the closing of a sale, the seller’s agent will split the commission with the buyer’s agent, so each receives around 3% of the total sale. This 6% commission comes directly out of your profit on the sale of your property. At USFlatFeeListing.com, we can help you eliminate the seller-agent’s commission—saving you thousands of dollars. 

Listing your property with USFlatFeeListing.com allows you to advertise your property on MLS for a flat fee, making it available to thousands of realtors. However, USFlatFeeListing.com does not act as your seller’s agent. With the MLS flat fee program, you will be responsible for handling your home sale, which includes all home showings, open houses, negotiations, and paperwork like escrow, title, inspections, disclosures, appraisals, etc. If you feel that you need a professional for certain aspects of the transaction such as negotiations, drawing up contracts, holding escrow, legal advice, or advice on the official offer, you may consider hiring an attorney to assist in some or all of these areas. 
 

90% of homes for sale are listed on MLS, making it the number one resource for realtors. Plus, buyer’s agents are never discouraged from showing properties listed through USFlatFeeListing.com because they receive the same commission (typically 2% - 2.5%) as other transactions (You set the commission to buyer's agent!). Your MLS listing through USFlatFeeListing.com will look just like MLS listings through traditional real estate firms. Also, we will feature your home on Realtor.com, HomesInYourTown.com, Homes.com, Front Door, Century 21, Remax, Coldwell Banker, and all real estate brokers who participate in MLS/IDX.

MLS listings can only be posted by licensed real estate broker, which is why USFlatFeeListing.com is so unique: we handle the MLS listing for you, you get to sell you property By Owner, and you save thousands of dollars that would typically be paid to a seller’s agent.

Let’s look at an example of a property that sells for $500,000 using Flat Fee MLS.

Let’s look at an example of a property that rents for $2,000 using Flat Fee MLS.

In this example, USFlatFeeListing.com saves the seller $14,505 by eliminating half of the commission and replacing it with the low MLS flat fee. However, if you find the buyer yourself, without the assistance of a buyer’s agent, then you pay 0% commission—only the MLS flat fee.

  FLAT FEE MLS

List your property in the MLS for a flat listing fee as low as $199 instead of agreeing to pay a Realtor 6%.  Pay an agent who brings you a buyer 2% to 3% (varies by area). If you find a buyer, you don't pay any commission at all! (We'll let you do the math of 6% of the value of your home versus $199.)  

Why being listed in MLS is so important

1. MLS stands for "Multiple Listing Service", and is "the real estate market". 
2. Over 90% of all properties sold in the US are as a result of MLS listing exposure.  
3. Being listed in MLS means all the local Realtors can find your home in their MLS database.  
4. Buyers can find your home on thousands of public MLS websites, where they are most likely to be searching for a home. MLS listed properties (for sale by owner or not) sell faster and for more money than non-MLS listed "for sale by owner" properties. new jersey flat fee mls

Why a Flat Fee MLS Listing is better than listing with a 6% Realtor

1. You get the same MLS listing in the same local MLS for a one-time low Flat Fee instead of 6%.
2. If you sell your home without a buyer's agent involved, there is zero commission.
3. More exposure on hundreds of national MLS websites.
4. Exposure to by owner buyers. new jersey flat fee mls

What is "MLS"?

MLS stands for "Multiple Listing Service". Most people refer to MLS as if it were all one big database of homes. Actually there are over a thousand individual MLSs across the country; some big, some small. They are all separate from each other, so a Realtor who looks on his local MLS in Boston can't see the listings in the Miami MLS. That's why it's so important to be listed in the correct local MLS. There are many national websites, like Realtor.com, that aggregate listings from all these 1000 MLSs, and put them all on one giant website. Some information, such as commissions offered to agents and owner contact information, is only displayed on the local MLS for agents to see, and not the national public websites.

Why you need a Realtor to list your home in MLS

Only a licensed real estate broker who belongs to the MLS and pays the MLS dues and fees is able to list a property. An individual can't simply post an "ad" in MLS, like placing an ad in a newspaper. The real estate broker is also responsible for the accuracy of the listing, and keeping it current. For example, the broker can lose his MLS membership or pay heavy fines if a property is under contract or sold, but still listed as "Active" in MLS. When you list with us, a licensed broker who belongs to the MLS where your property is located will be assigned to your listing.

YARD SIGNS

The primary thing that sells a home is the property itself. A sale occurs when a buyer walks or drives up and falls in love with the property. Given this fact, your goal in using real estate signs is to get the buyer to your property.

When using real estate signs, it is pretty hard to go overboard. In most areas, you want to put up between 5 and 10 signs. One sign (or if sight distance and / or angle of approach makes it advisable, two signs) should be placed in front of your home. Directional signs should be placed on the corner of each entrance street to your neighborhood. You should also place a sign at each end of your block and any intervening blocks where a person must turn to reach you. The goal is to grab their attention and then lead them to your property. Try to make it as easy for them as possible.

Some people are a bit hesitant when it comes to sticking up signs everywhere. Yes, it can be a bit tacky, but it works. When selling a home, putting up real estate signs is a critical step in helping buyers find your property.
