When you are selling your home with flat fee MLS, you will find that you have almost as many options as you would if you were selling with a real estate agent. After all, these days, more and more brokers are looking at the possibility of adding listings to the MLS for a flat fee simply because it’s difficult for them to attract FSBO sellers any other way (and, it’s better to have some income than none at all).

Still, you will want to make an effort to ensure that you are choosing the right flat fee MLS broker rather than just going with the option that seems most convenient to you. Convenience isn’t about getting your home listed in the multiple listing service - convenience comes from the number of ways in which the broker can help you to sell your home.

Well established flat fee MLS brokers are able to give you the information that you need in order to make the most of the selling process - which is to say, to make it as simple as possible. They are also able to offer a number of different services that you will be able to choose from - lawn signs, virtual tours and podcasts: various tools that have helped others to sell but that you do not need to use if you do not want to.

A flat fee MLS broker will help you more than a real estate agent; the right broker will make sure that you have everything that you need.
