There are basically two choices you have once you decide to list your lot or land in the MLS: Flat Fee MLS listing (or Discount MLS Listing), such as with our company, or Traditional. When listing your land or lot on the MLS with a full-service Real Estate company, a listing commission is charged. This listing commission is usually based on the sales price of your land or lot and will usually range anywhere from 3-6%. Keep in mind this has nothing to do with the buyers agency commission, which can run you another 3-6% of your sales price. This means that 6-12% of the price of your land or lot will go to Real Estate Agents.
Instead of paying a large listing commission to a traditional real estate agency to list your property in the MLS, you can list with us for only $195. A small commission, of your choice, will be due to the buyer's agent who brings you a ready, willing and able buyer. And remember, if you sell your land or lot on your own, without any Realtor® involved, you will owe no commission to anyone!
