Yes—and Here’s How to Do It the Smart Way in 2025
Selling a piece of land might feel like you are selling “nothing”—just open space and potential. But in real estate, potential is everything. And in 2025, you do not need a full-service agent to sell your land or lot. Thanks to flat fee MLS services like ListWithFreedom, you can take control of the sale while still reaching thousands of buyers.
Here is how to list and sell land using a flat fee MLS—and why it is one of the best options for FSBO sellers today.
What Is a Flat Fee MLS—and Does It Work for Land?
Absolutely. A flat fee MLS service allows you to post your property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) without hiring a full-commission agent. The MLS is where real estate agents list properties—and it also powers major real estate websites like Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com.
That exposure is essential. Whether you are selling a vacant residential lot, farmland, or a commercial parcel, buyers are looking there. With ListWithFreedom, your land listing appears in the same places as agent-listed properties—without the costly commission.
Why FSBO Sellers Use Flat Fee MLS for Land Sales
Selling land is different from selling a house. There is no kitchen to stage or bedrooms to photograph. But it is still a valuable asset, and you want the right people to see it. That is where the MLS comes in.
Here’s why FSBO sellers choose flat fee MLS for land:
High Visibility – Your listing appears on top property sites like Realtor.com, Zillow, and Trulia.
No Listing Agent Fees – You pay one flat fee—no 5–6% commission.
Full Control – You set the price, negotiate directly, and manage the sale.
Reaches Niche Buyers – Whether for building, farming, or investment, serious buyers search the MLS.
How to List Your Land or Lot on the MLS
Before you list, gather the right details to make your listing stand out:
Exact location and parcel number (APN)
Lot size (square feet or acres)
Zoning information (residential, agricultural, commercial, etc.)
Road access or easements
Topography (flat, hilly, wooded, cleared)
Available utilities (water, electricity, gas, sewer)
Property taxes and HOA info (if any)
Photos—yes, even for land. Include wide shots, street views, and any standout features.
Once your details are ready, choose a flat fee MLS plan with ListWithFreedom, upload your information, and your land will be live on the MLS.
How to Price Land the Right Way
Pricing land is different from pricing a home. The market can move slower, so pricing strategy matters:
Check recent sales of similar lots in your area.
Know the zoning—buildable lots often sell for more.
Factor in access—paved roads and nearby utilities add value.
Avoid overpricing—overpriced land can sit unsold for months.
Should You Offer a Buyer’s Agent Commission?
Even if you are selling FSBO, offering a small commission (2–3%) to a buyer’s agent can help. Many buyers work with agents, and those agents are more likely to show your property if there is an incentive. This does not mean hiring an agent for yourself—it is simply offering a reward for bringing a buyer.
Pro Tips to Sell Land Faster
Tell the story – Describe potential uses for the land.
Add aerial views – Drone shots help buyers understand boundaries and terrain.
Highlight permits or surveys – If done, these can save the buyer time.
Respond quickly – Have maps, zoning details, and documents ready.
The Bottom Line
Yes, you can sell land with a flat fee MLS—and in 2025, it is easier than ever. ListWithFreedom gives FSBO sellers the reach of a traditional MLS listing without the high cost, helping you keep more of your profit while connecting with serious buyers.
