What is a Flat Fee MLS Listing?

A Flat Fee MLS Listing allows homeowners to list their property on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for a one-time fee without hiring a full-service real estate agent. This approach helps sellers save on commission costs while gaining exposure to thousands of buyers and agents.

What does a Flat Fee MLS Service do?

A Flat Fee MLS Service provides access to the MLS, where real estate agents and buyers search for homes. These services typically offer features like property listing uploads, syndication to platforms like Zillow and Realtor.com, and optional add-ons like contract support or marketing materials.

How to list in the MLS without a Realtor?

To list in the MLS without hiring a traditional realtor: Choose a Flat Fee MLS Service like List With Freedom. Provide your property details, photos, and payment. The service lists your home in the MLS, giving you direct control over pricing and negotiations.

Are flat fee realtors good?

Flat Fee Realtors are an excellent choice for sellers seeking to reduce costs. They’re best suited for those confident in managing showings, negotiations, and paperwork themselves.

How will buyers and buyer agents contact me?

How do I get help if I need it?

Know Your Disclosure Duties in Tennessee

Tennessee sellers must disclose the known condition of their property before going to market. Being upfront with buyers reduces your legal exposure after closing and keeps transactions on track from contract to close.

Here are the key things you must disclose:

Tennessee Residential Property Condition Disclosure: Sellers must complete this state-mandated form in good faith, disclosing known defects in the property's structural components, systems, and any environmental hazards.

Lead-Based Paint (Pre-1978 Homes): Federal law requires sellers to disclose known lead hazards, provide an EPA-approved pamphlet, and allow buyers up to 10 days for a lead inspection.

HOA or PUD Documents: Sellers must provide governing documents, bylaws, and the master deed for any HOA or planned unit development. Request these early as they can take time to obtain.

Wood-Destroying Insect (WDI) Report: Commonly requested by buyers and lenders in Tennessee due to the Southern climate. Being proactive with this report can prevent delays close to closing.

Known Material Defects: Sellers cannot conceal or misrepresent known issues affecting the value or safety of the property, including structural problems, water intrusion, mold, or pest damage.

Why Sellers Choose

We’ve perfected the flat fee process since 2005. Pay a single flat fee to list your home and a modest compliance fee once the house is sold. Plus, you choose the buyer’s agent compensation.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions we receive. If you have additional questions after reviewing these, feel free to contact us anytime. We’ll respond promptly with the information you need.

Traditional agents typically charge 6% of your home's sale price as commission. With List With Freedom, you pay a simple flat fee to get your home on the MLS and syndicated to all major real estate sites. You get the same MLS exposure and our expert support team, but you save thousands in commissions. When your home sells, there is a very small compliance fee paid to us (0.25% or 0.50% based on your package), much less than a traditional real estate agent.

With List With Freedom, selling your house is fast, easy and affordable. Whether you’re a first-time seller or a seasoned pro, our services empower you to keep more of your hard-earned home equity while reaching thousands of buyers.
