Texas Flat Fee MLS Listing
Do I Have to Pay a Buyer's Agent Commission if I Find my Own Buyer?
No. No additional fees or commissions are paid if you find your own buyer. You can cancel your Flat Fee Listing anytime.
Do I Have To Pay A Buyer's Agent Commissions?
If a Buyer's agent sees your listing on the MLS and brings a buyer you must pay the buyer's agent a commission if you accept the offer. The commission you're willing to pay must be stated on your MLS listing details and listing agreement. We recommend that you offer a commission between 2% - 3% because your listing will be competing with other listings for agent's attention within your MLS market area.
Do I Have To Pay A Seller's Agent Commissions?
Not with a Texas Flat Fee MLS Listing. You just pay a Flat Listing Fee as little as $99 to get the MLS exposure for your property.
How Can I Get a Refund?
You can get a 100% refund for your listing if it has not yet been placed on the MLS. If Texas Flat Fee MLS Listing documents have been signed and turned in and your listing is on the MLS, no refunds can be given.
Please be sure to call with any and all questions before your listing goes live on the MLS.
How Many Photos Will I Get?
Our $168 6 Month listing plans start at 6 Pictures up to MAX/25 Photos.
If necessary you can mail in hard copy of your photos to be scanned and uploaded.
Each MLS has their own max number of photos that can be placed on the MLS. We also offer a different amount of photos per listing plans.
You will need to take your own photos or hire a professional. Photographers in Texas charge in the ranges of $75 - $250.
Is the DIY By Owner Listing Really Free?
100% Yes.
Contact us for your free listing on our website. You get a free listing on our website and are welcome to use the tools in your Listing Control Panel. We market our website on the internet, resulting in giving your property some exposure.
(This is NOT an MLS listing or syndication listing, the $0 listing is for a listing on our website only so you can take advantage of our great home marketing tools!)
What To Expect After I Pay For My Texas Flat Fee MLS Listing?
After you pay for your MLS Listing you have the option to add your listing to our website. This allows you to create flyers, share it on social media, schedule your own open houses with maps and directions and more. However adding your listing to texasmlsflatfee.com does NOT get your property on the MLS, these are just bonus items!
After you sign-up and pay for your MLS Listing your broker prepares your Texas Flat Fee MLS Listing paperwork then emails it over to you. Sometimes you will receive the MLS listing docs within 15 minutes, and sometimes it can take a few hours if the broker is preparing docs for other happy Texas For Sale By Owner customers.
(unfortunately on Sunday's MLS Docs are not prepared)
It is truly a simple process!
#1 sign-up and place your order.
#2 hang tight for your MLS documents.
#3 complete the documents and email in your photos to your broker.
Please contact us or call with any questions.
Happy Selling :)

How can the MLS help sell my home?
On an hourly basis real estate agents look on the MLS for new listings as they have qualified buyers ready to purchase a home. The majority of all buyers are represented by a real estate agent because
it's completely free to them. And a real estate agents will always start their search on the MLS.
An MLS listing means more offers on your property.
The truth is you can now place a property on the MLS 'By Owner' and not owe a sellers' agent 3% of your sale price. Please give us a call if you have any questions and we will gladly explain the how you will save thousands and benefit from a Flat Fee MLS Listing.
What is the MLS?
The MLS is a large database that real estate agents & brokers use to find available homes for qualified buyers. In the past the MLS was all on paper which is why you needed to hire a full service agent to get
access to these MLS listed properties. The MLS was not made available to the public.
Nowadays the internet has changed the real estate industry completely. Every single real estate agent has an MLS search on his/hers website. And now it's easily possible for you to get your property listed on that exact same MLS for a low flat fee.
