You need a broker to get listed, but it doesn’t have to be a full-time broker
FFMLS – This term refers to Flat Fee Multiple Listing Service. Many people that consider selling their home with an agent worry that they will not be able to list their property in the multiple listing service for the area. In the past, the “MLS” was a list controlled solely by agents and realtors. These days, there are ways to access it without using a real estate agent. You can pay a Flat Fee for your listing, thus the name.
This isn’t entirely true. You still need a broker to get your house listed on the MLS. Home owners can’t just walk up to a window and list on the multiple listing service. You’ve got to gain access. That access is a licensed broker.
However, thanks to flat fee services like IHS Realty, you can get listed on the MLS for much lower than it would cost you to use a full-service real estate broker. We will list your house for you and step out of the picture so that you can handle the rest of the show yourself. We will "stand by," of course, in case you need other services, but you need not contact us against for anything - unless you need or want something.
As a flat fee, or limited service, broker, we offer other services as well. You get to pick and choose what services you need and when you need them. Otherwise, we’re off of your back.
