Real estate commission discount How to get started
You have the ability to eliminate real estate commission, at least from the sale side of the transaction, by using the Flat Fee Multiple Listing Service when selling your home. For a flat fee, you will have your home listed through the Multiple Listing Service, and hundreds of other websites around the country, for maximum exposure. What you may not realize is that many real estate agents will limit the number of website listings for their clients in order to increase their chances of earning the sale commission. When you use the Flat Fee Multiple Listing Service, you have access to the same marketing tools that real estate agents use without having to pay the real estate commission. You will have to pay real estate commission to a buyers broker if the purchasers use an agent to find your home, but that is still a fraction of the real estate commission for which you would have been responsible by hiring an agent of your own.
