The Multiple Listing Service ("MLS") is an agent-only database where agents list
the properties that they have for sale. A commission can be offered in the
MLS to agents for producing the buyer.
There are over 700 different MLSs in the United States. It is
CRITICAL that your home is listed on your local MLS.
1. The MLS enables a seller to offer a commission to buyers agents. Agents will NOT go to
homes where a commission is not offered.
2. The MLS pushes home info to websites such as Realtor.com,
Redfin, Zillow, Trulia, major brokerage sites, plus many others.
Simply put, when a seller pays a 6% commission to sell their home, half (3%) goes to the listing
agent and half (3%) goes to the buyers agent.
When you offer a commission on the MLS, that offer is only for the agents who are members of that MLS. That is why you want to
list on the LOCAL MLS, so you can attract local agents.
| Listing Agent | Buyer Agent | Total Cost | |

| Full Service Listing | $12,000 | $12,000 | $24,000 |
| Flat Fee Listing | $95 1 | $0 - 12,000 2 | $95 - 12,095 2 |
In a "Flat Fee" listing, the seller pays an upfront fee (no commission) for an agent to list a home on the MLS.
The seller can still offer a commission to buyer agents.
1 Prices vary by MLS.
2 No commission paid if buyer does not have an agent.
