Discount real estate brokerage, something to read about
Real estate commission (at least from the sale side of the transaction) can be eliminated from the equation through the use of the Flat Fee Multiple Listing Service when selling your home. By paying a one time flat fee, you will have your home listed on hundreds of Multiple Listing Service websites around the country, gaining maximum exposure for your sale. What you may not realize is that many real estate agents will limit the number of website listings for their clients in order to increase their chances of earning the sale commission. When you use the Flat Fee Multiple Listing Service, you have access to the same marketing tools that real estate agents use without having to pay the real estate commission. You will still be responsible for the portion of real estate commission due your buyers agent, if they find your home through a broker, but that will still be a fraction of the commission you would owe if you used your own broker.
