What is the difference between a “flat fee MLS listing through ADDvantage” vs. a “Full Service listing”?

In a full service listing, the agreement is typically a 6 month listing. The main drawback of most full service agreements is that the Exclusive Right of Sale Listing Agreement precludes the owner/seller from selling the house “FSBO” during this listing period and the seller has little to no control of the process. Customarily, a 6% commission is shared between the listing agent and the selling agent(sometimes, the listing agent is also the selling agent).

In an ADDvantage flat fee MLS listing, the seller doesn't pay a “listing commission”(which is typically 3%) because you(the seller) in essence become the “listing agent” for a flat fee. As well, with an ADDvantage flat fee MLS listing, if you are successful in finding a buyer for your property without the assistance of a real estate agent, then you would pay NO commission; just the ADDvantage flat fee. It's that simple.
