How do I get an MLS number for my home if I sell it myself?

[eschroeder12]

Is there a free way to get one or do you have to pay?

[Amy H]

You can't. The MLS is the Mutiple Listing Service available to Realtors only.

No. MLS is a fee for service organization. There are a number of FSBO that offer inclusion in MLS for a rather small fee.

Usually you must pay, if you go to FSBO.com they have packages that will include posting your home in the mls.































Please be aware of the liabilities and risks when you sell your home without profesional licensed agent.































Some times is faster with the exposure by a Realtor, but most important is what will you do if you have a buyer who does not know a thing either?

Having you home in the MLS is just one of many advantages of hiring a Realtor!!! Realtors who do it for a flat fee aren't ethical Realtors in my opinion. That service is there for people who actually respect the real estate profession.

You can get on the "MLS for free" or for a small flat fee depending on the state that you live in. HELPMESELL.com offers free MLS listings when you purchase a Premier FSBO System in any state. You get an MLS number for your home, you get a photo listing on Realtor.com, yahoo.com, helpmesell.com and numerous other high traffic websites. You also get a Talking Home Hot-line and other DIY tools from HELPMESELL. The listing broker normally gets 0%. You can still sell the home yourself and pay 0% commission. If an agent brings you an acceptable contract with acceptable terms than you would pay that agent the pre-determined commission which should never be less than 3% and 3.5% is recommended.
