Frequently Asked Questions

Selling a home can be an intimidating process and come with a variety of questions. From figuring out the best listing price for your property to prepping for showings and open houses, there is plenty that you need to learn about the home-selling process. Understanding what happens when it's time to sell your house and how a Flat Fee listing works, should be top priority in order to make informed decisions. To help ease some of this burden, we’ve compiled answers to some frequently asked questions from homeowners faced with putting their house on the market.

Yes, but we recommend that you use our sign. It is an “AGENTS WELCOME” sign that informs real estate agents that you are currently listed on the MLS and are willing to offer a commission to buyer’s agents. Those agents who see the sign are likely to search for your listing on the MLS to get more information.
You may list many different types of real estate: Single-family homes for sale or rent Condos, townhomes, and villas for sale or rent Commercial properties for sale or rent. Duplexes, triplexes and quadplexes for sale or rent Vacant land and lots for sale Farms for sale Mobile or manufactured homes for sale or rent
The short answer is no. However, attempting to sell or rent your property as a FSBO is not as easily done these days. Statistics show that 92% of all properties sold or rented are MLS listed and linked to Realtor.com, Zillow.com, and Trulia.com plus the MLS local sites. As always, brokers and agents have the ability to filter buyers and help them gain financing for properties. These abilities save you time and frustration comparing to an unknown and often unqualified FSBO buyer.

A traditional full-service MLS listing typically has restrictions keeping the owner from listing as a FSBO using signage or advertising the property in any way while MLS listed with that brokerage. The traditional commission for an MLS listing is 6% which is shared by the listing agent and the buyer’s agent.
With an MLS Listing With FloridaFlatFeeHomes.com, There Is No Listing Commission to Be Paid Unless You Wish to Upgrade to Our MAX PRO With Full Service for Only 1% Listing Commission at Closing. The Flat Rate for Our Programs Is Only $99 Basic, $199 Premium or $299 Max Flat Fee and That’s All You Pay. You May Sell Your Property as a FSBO in Any Form While MLS Listed as Long as Your Price Is Not Below the MLS Listing Price. You Must Still Offer and Then Make Payment to the Buyer’s Agent When They Procure a Qualified Buyer and You Close on Your Property With That Agent and Buyer. The MLS Does Require a Buyer’s Commission Offer. They Do Not State the Amount You Must Offer but Certainly Traditional Commission Amounts Will Have Better Agent Activity.

With FloridaFlatFeeHomes.com, your property will be MLS listed for 3, 6 or 12 months depending on the program you choose, but you’re free to cancel the listing at any time (unless you are in contract through the MLS and a Realtor who is due a commission).
