Some MLS rules:

The Seller must sign a "Listing Agreement" that specifies both the "flat fee" and the commission to be paid to the real estate agent that brings a buyer who purchases the property (usually 2.5% - 3% of the selling price).

The Listing Agreement makes the "listing agent" responsible for:

  • The accuracy of a detailed description of the seller's dwelling.
  • Making sure the seller pays the agent who brings a buyer that purchase his home.

Why flat fee MLS works
Flat fee mls works because there are two real estate agents involved in the sale of almost every house: the "listing agent" who works with the Seller, and the "buyer's  agent" who works with the Buyer.  
Listing Agent Typical Listing agent tasks   Buyer's agent Typical Buyer Agent tasks
Seller's real estate agent
  1. Put home in local MLS
     
  2. Assist in setting price
     
  3. Provide "Home For Sale" sign and newspaper ads.
     
  4. Host an open house

  3. Prepare offer and assist with negotiations.
     
$6,000  (3%)   $6,000 (3%)

On a $200,000 house, the Seller typically pays 6% commission ($12,000) which is split evenly, with the "listing agent" getting 3% or $6,000 and the  "buyer's agent" getting the remaining $6,000 (yes, the Seller pays the "buyer's agent"). 
  A flat fee listing eliminates the $6,000 that goes to the "Listing Agent"  
  and replaces it with a "flat" fee of
$299 - $399		  
 
 
  The Seller is still obligated to pay the Buyer's agent but in most areas the Buyer's agent will accept 2.5% or $5,000 in our example of a $200,000 house.  
 
 
  Instead of $12,000, the Seller pays $5,000 plus the listing fee for a savings of over $6,000  

   
No Free Lunch!
For his relatively small Flat Fee, the "listing agent" is obligated to perform only one task: he puts the home in the local MLS. He or she is *not required to:
  • Assist the Seller in setting a selling price. 
  • Provide a "Home For Sale" sign for the front yard.
  • Provide a "lock box" so agents can show the house when Seller is not at home.
  • Answer phone calls from prospective buyers who want to see the house
  • Write and place ads in local newspapers
  • Host an "open house" for local realtors and prospective buyers.
     
 
But that's Okay! Audrie will provide:
 
As part of putting the home in the local MLS, the "listing agent" must get the Seller to sign a "Listing Agreement" that specifies both the "flat fee" and the 2.5 - 3% to be paid to a "buyer's agent."
