If you don't want to use a REALTOR to sell your home, why would you want to use the MLS system? You have to ask yourself why you don't want to use a REALTOR and if one of the answers is that you feel the service is not worth the money then the MLS service is part of that service offered by REALTORS. The MLS service is in place because REALTORS pay to have it there. It is the Multiple "Listing" Service not the Multiple "For Sale By Owner" Service. The reason you pay for a REALTOR's service is because the system is in place to get you the most for your home, it is advertised and available to the largest number of potential Buyers through advertising vehicles like the MLS service which advertises your home not only to all the REALTORS in your area but to Buyers from all over the world over the internet. But if you don't feel a REALTOR is worth the money then you should also not value the MLS service, a service paid for by the REALTORS. There are other vehicles available to advertise your home as a "For Sale By Owner". You have complete access to those. But I have to ask - Why undersell your house? Why not sell your home to the largest number of Buyers that are looking for a home? You get top dollar for your home when it is available to the largest number of Buyers. Sorry to sound harsh but I felt it needed to be stated.<br><b>References : </b><br> I am going to be blunt…

However, you can look for a flat rate realtor who will put it in for you. A good example is a company call assist to sell. They charge a flat fee to sell your home (usually about 3000 dollars) to sell your home, advertise it, and put it in the MLS. Traditional realtors take a percentage usually 3-5 percent of the sale price.<br><b>References : </b><br> No, you can not list in the MLS without a realtor.

I believe in order to be a member of MLS, you have to be a licensed RE agent, not necessarily a Realtor.<br><b>References : </b><br> You have to be a member of MLS in order to list there.
