What is the Realtor Multiple Listing Service?

The MLS is a database of all available homes for sale in a market area where the homeowner is being represented by a professional real estate agent. Only licensed real estate professionals are able to list homes on the MLS. This will allow for maximum exposure, as buyers like to work with Realtors because the agent gives them guidance during the buying process and the agent's services are at no cost to the homebuyer.

How are Realtor commissions calculated in a traditional transaction?

Every real estate transaction has two sides, a buyer and a seller. When a Realtor lists your home on the MLS they offer a commission to other Realtors if they find a buyer for your home. This is usually a fee between 2-3%. The balance of the fee your listing realtor charges is the amount they keep for listing and selling your home, also usually 2-3%. With our service you do not pay a sellers commission. You only pay a fixed flat fee, saving thousands!

What commission should I offer to the Buyer's Agent?
