What is the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)?
MLS stands for Multiple Listing Service. The MLS is a database of homes for sale in a specific area and is run by the
local Board of Realtors®. It's the traditional method agents use to find homes for their buyers or to advertise their
listings to other agents.
What is the benefit of putting my home on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS)?
There is one very significant benefit to having your home listed on the Heartland MLS EXPOSURE to the local pool of
real estate agents! The fact that you have your home for sale in the MLS will now be known by the hundreds, if not
thousands, of real estate brokers and Buyer's Agents in your market who are helping buyers find homes.
How long will my home be listed on the MLS?
Six (6) months.
What is the difference between a Sellers Agent and a Buyers Agent?
A Seller's Agent lists the property, represents the seller and is legally obligated to put the seller's interests above all others. A Buyer's Agent represents the purchaser in the transaction and puts the buyer's interests above all others.
What does it mean to "co-op"?
Co-op (cooperative payment) means that you would be willing to pay a Buyer's Agent a fee for bringing a
buyer to you. Typically, a Buyer's Agent is paid 2.5% - 3.0% of the sales price. It is necessary to list the commission amount you are willing to pay on the MLS when you list your home with the real estate agent.
If I do not want to "co-op" with a Real Estate Agent, is the MLS still a good idea for me?
No. A Buyer's Agent expects compensation. Without offering it, an agent will have no reason to bring a buyer to your
home.
Do I have to pay an agent if I put my home on the local MLS but find the buyer myself?
NO! In this scenario, you would have only spent $399 ** to get on the MLS using
So what are my cost savings with putting my home on the MLS as opposed to going with a full- service Real Estate
Agent?
Let's go through both scenarios with the assumption that you are selling your home for $150,000. One scenario uses a
regular full-service Seller's Agent with a 7% commission. The other scenario uses Yes Flat Fee MLS service.
Using Traditional Real Estate Agent Using Yes MLS service only
Your costs $10,500
(7% of $150,000) $399 **
(MLS fee)
$4,500
(3% "CO-OP" fee)
Total paid
after sale $10,500 $4,899
SAVINGS OF $5,701
Think about it. Wouldn't you rather use that money for a vacation or a new car? When you're ready for MLS, we're here to help you!
** $399 MLS fee includes a $50 non-refundable processing fee.
