How it works

We keep things simple and lean, so you can get the best price for your home as fast as possible. Here’s how it works when you’re selling your FSBO house.

Choose the right package for you

Go with the package that suits your needs and your market. You’ll notice our packages are broken into listing duration, the number of photos you can upload, and some other marketing options. Listen to your budget, but remember that you’re saving thousands and this is your chance to make an impression.

Fill out the paperwork

Once you sign up for your package, you’ll need to give us some information about your property. Things like the address, square footage, number of bedrooms, bathrooms, amenities, etc. Try to upload high-quality photos of your house to show off to any potential buyers.

Review the listing

When you’ve finished uploading your property information, we’ll create a draft listing for your approval. Look it over carefully and ensure all the details are accurate and you’re happy with the way the photos represent your property. Once you give us the green light, we’ll publish onto the MLS.

Sell big

The MLS is your ticket to the market but there’s a lot of work before the sale. Manage inquiries and offers; schedule showings; and negotiate well – keep the sales process moving ever forward. Eventually, you’ll find the offer you like and reach an agreement with the buyer. Then it's a little more paperwork to finalize the transaction and you’ve sold 
your home!

For that added peace of mind, to make sure everything is squared away, Listlean will handle all paperwork and compliance for you, for a small .5% at close.

FAQ’s

Frequently asked questions

What is the MLS?

The Multiple Listing Service, or MLS, is a database used by real estate brokers to share information about properties for sale by sellers they represent to brokers who represent potential buyers.

What is a Flat Fee MLS listing?

A Flat Fee MLS listing is a service that allows homeowners like you to list their property on the local MLS for a flat fee rather than paying a traditional real estate agent's commission, which is typically a percentage of the sale price.

How does a Flat Fee MLS listing work?

You pay a one-time fee to have your property listed on the MLS database. This fee usually covers the cost of listing your property on the MLS for a specified period, often ranging from three months to a year. You retain the right to sell your home FSBO and handle the selling process yourself.

What are the benefits of using a Flat Fee MLS service?

Increased Exposure: All the real estate agents and potential buyers in your area who browse the MLS listings will know your property is available to buy. Control Over the Selling Process: By selling FSBO, you retain control over the entire selling process, including pricing, negotiations, and scheduling showings. Cost Savings: Flat fee MLS listings can save you money compared to paying a traditional real estate agent's commission, which can amount to thousands of dollars.

Is there a downside to using your Flat Fee MLS service?

Since you are selling FSBO, you won’t have a professional around as a guide. You may still need to offer a commission to the buyer’s agent to incentivize them to show your property to clients. The commission is typically 2-3% of the sale price.

Do I need to provide photos and descriptions for my listing?

Yes. Try to provide high-quality photos and a detailed description of your property for the MLS listing. Remember, you want to get the best price for your home, so clear, well-lit photos and an accurate (non-puffed) description will go a long way towards generating interest for your house. We offer professional photography for an extra $250 because we know first impressions are the only ones that matter online in the age of swiping left.

Can I change the listing price or details after it's posted on the MLS?

Yes, totally doable. During the listing period, you’re allowed to make changes to your listing, such as adjusting the price or updating property details. You can do this at any time.

How do showings and negotiations work with a Flat Fee MLS listing?

As the FSBO homeowner, you'll be responsible for scheduling and conducting showings with potential buyers. When you receive offers, you'll negotiate directly with the buyer or their agent. It's advisable to seek legal counsel or hire a real estate attorney to review any offers or contracts to ensure they're in your best interest.

What happens if my property doesn't sell during the listing period?

If your property doesn't sell during the initial listing period, you may have the option to renew your Flat Fee MLS listing for an additional fee.

What is the MLS?

I wasn't sure I could do it myself. But List Lean showed me how easy it was to put my house on the MLS for homebuyers to see. Showing was easy too. I know my home and neighborhood better than any agent. I'm starting to wonder what agents do for their commissions.
