The Flat FEE MLS Option

The internet has provided the ability for folks selling real estate many options beyond traditional real estate agent. The Flat Fee MLS option is a great choice for sellers because it effectively reduces commissions paid to about half of traditional services.

The problem is your real estate industry professionals will provide you with gloomy statistics for FSBO sellers. The fact of the matter is the statistics they provide serves their best interest not the seller. You will often hear numbers like only 12% of homes are sold FSBO. How about asking a real estate agent the following question.

What number of homes sold on your MLS are discount or FLAT FEE services. You will always hear how many homes were sold on the MLS but never a complete breakdown. This type of information therefore is misleading on the surface.

The bottom line is do your research and ask the correct questions. Do not accept the picture a real estate agent will paint without doing your own research. FSBO real estate success is possible and not difficult if you understand what you need to do in order to succeed.

Remember anything is possible....
