One of those ways is the fairly new buzz word “Flat Fee MLS”. MLS Flat Fee simply means paying a small lump sum of money to a licensed real estate agent whom you enlist to sell your home. The real estate agent takes the money and lists the home in the MLS. The agent’s services routinely end right there although some will include a few small or non-essential add-ons to help sweeten the deal.
