The $199 to $499 Flat Fee MLS Listing service
offered at this site includes your home being listed by a licensed real estate agent in
the MLS which is used by all the other Realtors in your area. This Multiple Listing
Service, or MLS as it is commonly called, is the way that a Realtor cooperates with other
Realtors in your area to make them aware that a specific property is for sale and that
they are being offered a specific commission to sell it to their buyer clients. This is
the SAME MLS which any other Realtor charging you up to 6 or 7% for a MLS listing would
list your home in. The difference is that you pay a FLAT FEE of $199 to $499 to be
listed in the MLS instead of a listing commission which in most cases is HALF the total
commission Realtors charge (by way of example if the total commission is 6% the listing
broker usually keeps 3% and then offers 3% to the broker who finds the buyer). That is a
lot of money considering that the listing broker only sells the home themselves about 5%
of the time. The MLS itself is essentially a private database accessed by a computer
network which ONLY the member Realtors have access to, the public can NEVER see the actual
MLS listings. However, many but not all of the MLS Organizations have Public Web
Sites where the public can view portions of the information contained in those MLS
listings. Only the member realtors can view ALL the information in the mls listings, the
public only gets to view the limited information which the particular MLS decides to
display to them. For example, some MLS listing organizations do NOT display the
street address of the mls listings at the public web sites. None of the Public MLS
Listing Sites allow the owners name or contact information to be displayed to the public
since they do NOT want buyers calling owners, they want buyers calling their member
Realtors (that is why they set up the public sites to start with is to get the buyers to
call a realtor). Likewise, in addition to deciding what information is displayed to
the public, the MLS also decides IF they want to display any information about their
listings to the public and which listings to show information about. Many MLS
organizations (particularly smaller ones) do NOT operate a public website at all, but the
member realtors in those areas STILL have access to the listings using their private
computer network, there is just not a public website to display their mls listings.
Other MLS listing cooperatives have public web sites but do not display information about
some or all of their mls listings at their public website possibly due to their MLS IDX
policies or the election of specific realtor members to hold back some or all of the
listings from public display or distribution. The member Realtors in these MLS
organizations STILL have access to these listings and the information contained in them
using their private computer network regardless of whether they are displayed partially or
fully on any public web site.
