A place where I write on real estate commission discount
By paying a one time flat fee, you will have your home listed on hundreds of Multiple Listing Service websites around the country, gaining maximum exposure for your sale. What you may not realize is that many real estate agents will limit the number of website listings for their clients in order to increase their chances of earning the sale commission. With Flat Fee Multiple Listing Service, you will have access to all the marketing tools that traditionally were reserved for agents alone without having to pay thousands of dollars in real estate commission at time of closing. You will still be responsible for the portion of real estate commission due your buyers agent, if they find your home through a broker, but that will still be a fraction of the commission you would owe if you used your own broker. By allowing you to hang out your own For Sale By Owner sign, the Flat Fee Multiple Listing Service grants you the potential of attracting even more buyer traffic to your door, as many prospective purchasers will be more eager to deal directly with you and not through a broker.
