Hourly real estate What experts say
And, if there is no buyer broker, the flat rate ends up being your only real estate commission. It is clear that the Flat Fee MLS system is the most cost effective way to sell your home. You will receive the same amount and quality of service as you would under the percentage based real estate commission system. Some of the Multiple Listing Service agencies will even allow you to place a For Sale By Owner sign (with your telephone number) on your property, which can attract buyers directly to you from the website and save you thousands in real estate commission costs. However, most buyers do turn to brokers for help in finding a home, and some buyer brokers may be reluctant to bring their clients to your door if no selling agent is involved.
