Unrepresented Flat Fee MLS Seller's Bill of Rights (Express, Silver & Gold Plans)

We are committed to principled and straightforward business practices that will protect the best interest of unrepresented flat fee MLS listed sellers. As a matter of principle, we believe that American property sellers have a right to know exactly how their unrepresented flat fee MLS listing will be handled and that such procedures should be stated in writing by the MLS listing company. We hereby institute the unrepresented Flat Fee MLS Bill of Rights to protect the unrepresented flat fee MLS property seller from the detrimental and unscrupulous practices of many unrepresented flat fee MLS companies. We hope that in doing so, more sellers will be educated about how to protect themselves from unscrupulous business practices. We stand committed to the belief that the following tenets constitute ethical standards that should be employed by all unrepresented flat fee MLS companies:

The unrepresented flat fee MLS service provider will disclose to the seller if they are using the unrepresented flat fee MLS seller's leads for their own agents in an attempt to procure a sale on the seller's property or for any purpose other than assisting the seller in their pursuit of a buyer.
  7. The unrepresented flat fee MLS company will disclose to the seller whether or not the unrepresented flat fee MLS service is a member of the local MLS board that the seller's property will be inputted into and if they are not inputting the unrepresented flat fee MLS listing into the appropriate MLS board themselves, will disclose to the seller who the MLS listing agent will be and provide contact info for that agent.
