How Do "For Sale By Owners" Benefit from MLS?

More Exposure! Many buyers use real estate agents, and these agents use the MLS as their main tool to find homes for their buyers. You benefit from listing your home on the MLS because you gain tremendous exposure to tens of thousand of agents and their potential buyers.

Keep control and Save Money! Enjoy the benefits and cost savings inherent in the "for sale by owner" method while at the same time giving your home the additional exposure of the MLS. The flat fee you pay to get your home on the local MLS is considerably less than the thousands you would pay in traditional commission.

How Does It Work?

Let's go through both scenarios with the assumption
that you are selling your home for $250,000.
