The answer is VERY. We’re the number one “by-owner” site — we get 5x more visitors than our closest competitor.

There are no additional charges or hidden fees to upgrade or change your package except for the difference in the package price as long as no paperwork or forms have been submitted for additional exposure with a Realtor.com or MLS listing. You can temporarily deactivate your listing for up to 12 months by calling Customer Support, or cancel your listing by logging in to your Selling Center and removing your ad. When Do I Have to Offer a Commission? The MLS (Multiple Listing Service) advertises to thousands of eager agents who have buyers looking for homes. You’ll need to offer a commission fee to buyer agents in order be listed on your local MLS, typically 2 to 3% is acceptable. By offering a commission, agents are more likely to bring their qualified buyers to your home, and you are 25% more likely to sell. Of course, if you sell your home to a buyer who doesn’t have an agent, you won’t owe anyone a commission fee.

*Based on sellers paying an estimated 2% commission to the agents representing the buyers of their homes as opposed to paying a full 6% real estate commission.

We’re dedicated to helping you sell your home,
