Flat Fee Listing vs. Full Service 6% Listings

1. ADDvantage flat fee MLS offers a listing in the same local MLS as a Realtor® would, except we charge a low flat fee instead of a 6% commission. We have four flat fee MLS real estate listing programs to choose from to fit any need, including contract-to-close representation for your discount MLS listing.
