Flat Rate MLS

There are basically two choices you have once you decide to list your home for rent  in the MLS system: Flat Rate MLS listing, such as with our company, or Traditional.  When listing your home in the MLS with a full-service Real Estate company, a listing commission is charged.  This listing commission is usually based on the rental price of your home and will usually range anywhere from 25-50% or one month's rent.  Keep in mind this has nothing to do with the tenants agent commission, which can run you another 25-50% of the rental price.  This means that 50-100% of one month's rent will go to Real Estate Agents. 

Below is a chart to help you understand the difference between the two types of listing agencies.
