Flat-Fee Listing
Flat Fee MLS Listing in San Antonio
Selling it yourself? Robert can put your home on the MLS for a flat $299, where buyers’ agents search and the major home sites pick it up.
For sale by owner, on the MLS
Sell it yourself, and still reach every buyer’s agent
Most buyers work with an agent, and agents look on the MLS first. A flat-fee listing puts a for-sale-by-owner home in that database for one up-front fee, while you stay in charge of your own sale.
Want full service instead? The Seller’s Guide covers how Robert prices, markets and negotiates a listing from start to finish.

Questions
Flat-fee questions
What is the MLS?
The Multiple Listing Service: the database real estate agents use to find homes for their buyers. Listings flow from it to the major home search sites.
Why list on the MLS if I am selling it myself?
Most buyers work with an agent, and agents search the MLS first. A listing puts your home where they are already looking.
Do I still pay a buyer’s agent?
That is between you and the buyer. Buyer’s agent compensation is negotiated, and you decide whether to offer any of it.
Do I still need a seller’s disclosure?
Yes. Most Texas sellers complete the Seller’s Disclosure Notice whether or not an agent is involved.
What if I decide I want help?
Robert also offers full-service listings. The Seller’s Guide explains what that includes.
Prefer full service?
