Your property will not only be listed on your local California MLS – you’ll also get exposure to potential buyers through Realtor.com, Zillow.com, and numerous other sites where buyers are actively looking for property. With the exposure that your California property will receive through trough our flat fee MLS listing, you’ll be able to generate significantly more demand than trying to sell it alone, which will drive a higher price and faster closing time as well.

List Your Home with Flat Fee MLS California and Save Thousands

Why pay extra? Sell in California using Flat Fee MLS

Selling a house allows you to keep most of your profit free from costs. Rather than paying a percentage of the sale price, you might list your house on Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for a nominal, one-time charge using flat fee MLS California.

Without the hefty fees, this offers your house the same exposure as a conventional agent-listed property. You establish your own price, maintain process control, and engage in direct negotiations with purchasers. With Congress Realty, you can easily and reasonably keep more of your money while having your house in front of serious purchasers.

Definition of an MLS Listing

By listing your house on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), you can help to reduce usual agency expenses. You pay a flat fee to a qualified real estate broker to have your house listed on the MLS instead of a part of the sale price. Agents search the same database for homes suitable for their clients: 

  • Redfin, Zillow, Realtor.com.
  • Local California MLS databases
  • Broker and agent websites

This method provides the same exposure as regular listings but is much cheaper. The best flat fee MLS listing service California gives you the same visibility while helping you save money.

What’s the Potential Savings?

Conventional real estate agents bill commissions between 4% and 7%. The agent who lists the property and the agent who assists the buyer split this charge. You pay a one-time fee instead of the selling agent’s commission when a flat fee MLS California is used.

Here is what you might save:

  • $300,000 home → Save $17,701 (instead of paying $18,000 in commission)
  • $400,000 home → Save $23,701 (instead of paying $24,000)
  • $500,000 home → Save $29,701 (instead of paying $30,000)

Unlike with a full-service listing, even if you give a buyer’s agent two to three percent you can still save thousands of dollars.

A flat fee MLS listing benefits who?

For those who wish to save money but still oversee the transaction directly, a flat price MLS listing is ideal.

  • FSBO Sellers: This is the best choice for visibility if you like your home to be placed on the MLS free from agent involvement.
  • Real Estate Investors: Many house sales allow a significant commission fee savings.
  • Homes sold quickly in high demand markets do not call for a full-service broker.
  • Experienced Homeowners: This is a smart approach to save money if you know how to manage papers and negotiations.

Choosing a reasonably priced flat fee MLS real estate agent in California will help you preserve control over the transaction and boost your profits.

How the Flat Fee MLS Process Works

Step 1: Sign Up & List Your Property

  • Choose Congress Realty, the best flat fee MLS California listing service.
  • Submit property details, pricing, and professional photos.
  • Set a competitive buyer’s agent commission (optional).

How to Set the Right Price for Your Home

Choosing the right price is essential for selling quickly. Setting prices too high causes slow sales, and setting them too low means you miss out on profit.

  • Check Similar Sales – Look at houses that have recently sold near you.
  • Keep an eye on market trends. You might set a greater price in a market that moves quickly. You might need to make adjustments if sales are slow.
  • Consider Property Condition – Upgrades, lot size, and location impact value.
  • Use Online Estimates Wisely – Zillow and Redfin provide guidance but verify with local MLS data.
  • Stay Competitive – Overpricing leads to longer market time and price reductions.
