How does the Flat Fee ARMLS | Discount Listing Service work?

Flat fee real estate listing service

A flat fee listing service is a real estate service that allows you to list your property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for a fixed, upfront fee, instead of the traditional commission-based model where a percentage of the sale price is paid to the listing agent. Remember, all flat fee discount | flat fee plans are negotiable. We are open for discussion.

How it works:

  1. Choose a service and plan: You select a company offering flat fee MLS listings and a package that suits your needs, considering factors like the duration of the listing and included services.

  2. Provide property details and photos: You provide the required information and photos to the service provider, who will then list your property on the MLS.

  3. Property visibility: Your property becomes visible to thousands of real estate agents and potential buyers through the MLS and other real estate platforms like Zillow and Realtor.com.

  4. Manage the sale: You, as the seller, take on responsibilities typically handled by a traditional agent, such as scheduling showings, negotiating offers, and handling paperwork.

Pros of using a flat fee listing service:

  • Cost savings: You significantly save on the commission fees by thousands of dollars. Example: $500,000 home x 3.5% commission = $12,500 savings for the seller.

  • Upfront costs can be negotiated: The costs are clear once he seller and the flat fee real estate listing agent iron that down.

  • Control over the sale: You have more control over pricing, showings, and negotiations.

  • MLS Exposure: Your property will still be listed on the MLS | ARMLS website in addition to thousands of other real estate broker websits. Normally a FSBO could not get this much exposure. They could list their home on Zillow, but we find that they will usually use a buyer's agent anyway.

Flat Fee MLS ARMLS listing service: It's a win win for the seller and listing agent, especially for home sellers that like to be more involved in the showing of their own home. Seller saves money, the Realtor will still work closely with the FSBO. Remember, Homes, Land and Rentals real estate agents have sold over one thousand homes.

Limited service: Basic plans often only include the MLS listing, and you may need to pay extra for additional services like photography, marketing, or negotiation support.

  • More work for the seller: You'll need to handle many tasks traditionally managed by a full-service agent, requiring time and effort.

  • Potential for less profit: Without the expertise of a traditional agent focused on maximizing the sale price, you might not achieve the highest possible offer.

  • Potential for hidden fees: Be cautious of companies with hidden fees, especially for essential services that may not be included in the basic package.

Is a flat fee listing service right for you?

  • Consider your budget: If minimizing costs is a priority, a flat fee service can be a good option.

  • Assess your availability: If you have the time and willingness to manage the selling process yourself, this approach may be suitable.

  • Evaluate your experience: If you have experience in real estate transactions, you may feel more comfortable with a flat fee service.

  • Consider your property's value: The cost savings are more significant for higher-priced properties.

  • Assess market conditions: In a strong seller's market, where properties sell quickly, a flat fee service might be particularly appealing.

Ultimately, the decision depends on your individual circumstances, needs, and comfort level with managing the selling process.
