MLS Flat Fee Florida

Florida having some of the highest real estate prices in the nation, makes it even more important to reduce real estate comissions when at all possible.

For this reason MLS flat fee florida listings are on the rise. Florida residents are also a savvy group, understanding the importance of marketing the property well, yet they also  understand the large expenditure of advertising in the news paper or other media.

Doing a flat fee mls listing for your florida property makes business sense, it will sace you a lot of money, and it is much easier than you would think.

What is an MLS flat fee listing?

Traditionally when you contract with  a real estate agent there will be a comission involved. Typically the "listing agent" will get 2-3% of the sales price.  When doing a flat fee MLS listing, the price includes the agent posting your listing on the MLS for a flat, one time fee.

Will there be no comission involved at all?

If the buyer is brought to the property by a licensed real estate agent, the agent will receive a comission on the sale. The amount of comission will be spelled out by you in the details of your listing. Typically the comission to the buyers agent is around 2-3%. Check the going rate before you decide. If you are too low, no agent will show your property.

If the buyer finds your property on one of mane websites the MLS listing will be placed upon, there is no comission involved.

Care should be taken to read the fine print of the agreement between you and the listing agent to make sure there are no surprise fees at closing.

Many listing agents will make standard real estate contracts available to their clients along with other forms and contracts.
