How It Works
In a traditional real estate deal a seller hires a listing broker to market the property. A commission of 5-6% is fairly common but commissions do vary.
The seller’s broker then posts the listing to the MLS and offers a 2.5% – 3% commission to any broker who brings in the buyer that ends up purchasing the property.
With the program that we are offering you pay us a flat fee of $295 and we post your listing to the MLS. We still recommend that you offer 2.5% commission to buyer’s agents in order to leverage the relationships of the 35,000+ members of the MLS in northern Illinois.
If the buyer is not represented by a broker then there is no percentage commission at closing. You get all the same exposure as a traditional real estate listing as your property is marketed on all the major real estate websites.

The red box to the left shows our coverage area.
There is one MLS that covers the Chicago metro area. It is called MRED. It is used for listing homes that are located in north eastern Illinois from the city of Chicago to the North Shore, up to Wisconsin, all through the western and south side suburbs, out to Dekalb and south all the way to Joliet and beyond.
It is the 3rd largest MLS in the country and has over 35,000 real estate broker members and over 8,000 offices.
Once a property is listed they can be seen by buyers from around the world through listing syndication.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Are the Next Steps After I Place My Order?
You will be directed to a webpage to begin filling out the paperwork.
Why should I list on the MLS?
Your home will be seen by more buyers in a shorter time frame and most of the buyers will already be financially pre-approved since Realtor’s do not want to waste their time showing homes to buyers who cannot afford to purchase.
Additionally the MLS feeds all the major websites so your exposure will be far greater than just listing a home on your own.
Who Will See My Listing?
Brokers will have direct access to your home information through the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). They will already have pre-approved buyers that they are working with.
What if I Want to Cancel My Listing?
What Will I Have to Pay a Buyer's Broker?
When you list on the MLS you commit to paying the agent who brings you the buyer a set commission. To make sure you take full advantage of being listed on the MLS we recommend you offer a 2.5% commission to a buyers agents.
What if there is no Buyer's Broker in the Transaction?
How do Buyers and Realtors® get my information or how will I be contacted?
They will call you directly to set up showings. Individual buyers will have access to your listing through one of the commercial websites you will be listed on. The MLS does not allow your phone number to be pulled by these websites but any individual that calls or emails our company will be referred to you.
How soon will I be listed?
Should I get a laywer to help me?
Will brokers boycott me?
In a normal real estate transaction the buyer broker gets 2-3% commission. As long as you are offering a similar commission real estate agents will show your home.
The other reason they will not boycott you is that it is illegal and they can have their license revoked. They must always be acting in the best interest of their clients. Not showing your property based on the commission you are paying us (or them) is not acting in the best interest of their clients.
Furthermore if they decide not to show your listing they can possibly be engaging in price-fixing and group boycotting which violate U.S. Anti-trust laws involving both civil and criminal penalties leading to a possible 3 year jail term and heavy fines.
How do I pay for your service?
*What is your money back guarantee?
There is no obligation but if you do go with our recommended broker than we will refund the money that you spent on the flat fee mls listing once your home closes – this does not cover other services like pictures, ect.
