Flat Rate MLS

There are basically two choices you have once you decide to list your lot or land in the MLS system: Flat Rate MLS listing (or Discount MLS Listing), such as with our company, or Traditional. When listing your property on the MLS with a full service Real Estate company, a listing commission is charged. This listing commission is usually based on the sales price of your lot or land and will usually range anywhere from 3-6%. Keep in mind this has nothing to do with the buyers agency commission, which can run you another 3-6% of your sales price. This means that 6-12% of the price of your property will go to Real Estate Agents.
