Sellers doing Flat Fee California By Owner MLS Listings are still required to sign a listing agreement offering a commission to a buyer's agent. This "Cooperative fee" is usually half or about 3%. If you try to offer less than the standard cooperative fee the seller runs the risk of buyer's agents avoiding them. All sellers listed in the MLS have to sign a listing agreement.

With By Owner Flat Fee MLS Listings a home seller has choices as far as the "Level of Service". This means the seller is not obligated to have the listing agent (Flat Fee MLS By Owner Listing Broker) provide all of the services a "Traditional" agent does. This saves the home seller a considerate amount of money.

We do offer "Full Service" for the sellers who desire that level of service. Full Service means offers are emailed to not only the seller but us too as the listing agent. We help the seller negotiate to get top dollar, help with inspection, pre-approval, title insurance and appraisal. So, utilizing full service with a Flat Fee MLS Listing gives the home seller the same great service a traditional agent does for a fraction of the cost!
