In order for your home to be listed on the MLS, the listing must be submitted by a member of the MLS. Real Estate brokers/agents that are members of the MLS can decide what business model they choose to operate under. Here are several business models currently available in the real estate industry:
1) Commission base on a percentage of the sales price, the advantage to this is if your home doesn't sell you're not out any cash. The percentage is negotiable.
2) Fixed amount upon sale of home. This is commonly used on higher end properties. The advantage to this is if your home doesn't sell you're not out any cash. The amount is negotiable.
3) Buy services upfront, such as inputting the listing into the MLS, putting up a yard sign, creating a flyer for your home, holding open houses. Each of these services are available for a fee. This type of service is called "limited service". Advantage the fees are usually lower, disadvantage you pay the fees upfront weather your home sells or not, and you don't have an agent out there promoting your home for you. You must be responsible for acting as your own agent including providing all of the legal disclosures required by your state.
Good luck selling your home. You're currently in a buyers market which means there are more homes on the market than buyers, so the home prices are going lower.

You are obviously not getting the support you need here as I can see by the other respondents. I saw a sign on the side of the road that said, "Get your house listed on the MLS for only $395.00." I gotta think that if it is that expensive, you can get on the actual MLS and not some private listing service. I would call Buy Owner and ask if their MLS is the same as the realtor's MLS.

Several companies will list your home on MLS for a set price. Its a waste of time and energy because no agent will show it anyway. There are 1,000's of homes for sale in central Florida. Try and find some creative way to advertise it and keep the price low. It will sell.

In order to obtain a MLS listing number, you must list the house for sale with a real estate brokerage which is a member of the MLS you wish to use. There are some firms which will do this for you for a one time fee, rather than the conventional listing contract.
MLS's are developed, paid for, and reserved for the exclusive usage of the members who financially support the association.

Nope. That's why you should use a Realtor. You can go through one of those "Buy Owner" type of places that claim to give you one, but they don't work and it's a private MLS, so you still won't be listed in any national MLS databases.

i imagine you propose nicely, yet as difficult a time as i'm having in information what you attempt to assert, the harder that's going to likely be that you'll educate that you're able to promoting actual property. at present you could promote your own property with out wanting a actual property license. some itemizing brokers will list your position for a nominal fee, basically so that you get the publicity. they gained't value you 2.5%. extra like some hundred money. Then, you're in ordinary words paying a shopper's Agent for bringing the efficient customer. the shopper's Agent might want to insist on using their own provide to purchase sorts because they have already been approved by the interior of sight bar association (in some states). they may also insist on protecting the shopper's earnest funds of their escrow account for safekeeping, until eventually ultimate. both way, your position is getting bought with little or no involvement from you. except on your having to be there each and every time a shopper needs as an example the valuables. Which some customer brokers gained't want to do, because we want the flexibility of being a jiffy early or overdue, and can want to favor to ascertain with our consumers with out interference.

Someone has to act as a realtor on your transaction to get it an MLS number.
