DIY MLS LISTING

A limited-service listing — also known as a flat fee Multiple Listing Service (MLS) listing — refers to a type of real estate listing agreement where a seller works with a real estate agent to list their property on MLS, but the agent’s involvement in the transaction is limited beyond that.  

In this arrangement, the seller pays a flat fee to the listing agent for the essential service of listing the property on the MLS, but the seller takes on more responsibilities in marketing, negotiations, and coordinating showings themselves. Limited-service listings are helpful if you’re planning to sell your home on your own (FSBO).

A limited-service broker does not provide services normally associated with a full-service brokerage.
