How It Works

Flat Fee MLS Realty gives homeowners a modern, transparent way to sell their property without paying traditional full-service real estate commissions. You keep control of the sale, preserve more of your equity, and still receive the same MLS exposure used by traditional brokerages.

For one flat fee, your property is professionally listed on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and syndicated across the most widely used real estate platforms, including Realtor.com, Zillow, Trulia, Homes.com, and dozens of other national and local websites where buyers and agents search every day.

Unlike “for sale by owner” websites, Flat Fee MLS Realty is a licensed real estate brokerage, which means:

• Your listing appears side-by-side with traditional agent listings
• Buyer’s agents can easily find and show your home
• You receive the proper contracts, disclosures, and required forms to sell legally and confidently

You stay in control of pricing, negotiations, showings, and marketing decisions—we handle the MLS exposure and compliance, so you don’t have to.

Steps to Get Your Home Sold:

Step 1: Choose Your Flat Fee MLS Plan

Select the plan that fits your needs and experience level. Plans range from Silver (MLS-only exposure) to the Platinum plan, which includes enhanced listing features, additional support, and maximum visibility.

This flexibility allows you to decide how much help you want—without being locked into a percentage-based commission.

Step 2: Complete the Property Questionnaire

After choosing your plan, you’ll complete a simple, guided questionnaire that captures all the essential details of your home, including:

• Property features and upgrades
• Square footage, bedrooms, and bathrooms
• Lot details, HOA information, and utilities
• Remarks that help buyers understand your home’s value

Our team uses this information to create a compliant, MLS-ready listing designed to attract serious buyers and buyer’s agents.

Step 3: Prepare Your Home for Sale

Proper preparation directly impacts sale price and time on market. We recommend:

• Improving curb appeal and landscaping
• Cleaning and decluttering interior and exterior spaces
• Making minor repairs that buyers notice immediately
• Removing personal items so buyers can visualize themselves in the home

Many sellers also choose to invest in professional photography and strategic pricing—both of which can significantly increase buyer interest.

Step 4: Show the Property and Engage Buyers

You control how and when your home is shown. As inquiries come in, you can:

• Communicate directly with buyers and buyer’s agents
• Schedule showings at your convenience
• Evaluate offers and buyer qualifications
• Negotiate price, terms, and timelines

You are never required to accept an offer—you remain fully in charge of the decision-making process.

Step 5: Negotiate, Contract, and Close

Once you reach an agreement, Flat Fee MLS Realty provides the standard contracts and required disclosure forms needed to move toward closing. You may work directly with the buyer, their agent, Excel Title I of Florida LLC (exceltitlefl.com), a Florida licensed title company, or a title company/real estate attorney of your choosing to complete inspections, title work, and closing—while saving thousands in listing commissions.
