Self listing on mls?

[Toben B.]

I have a house to sell and instead of giving away all 6% commision to a realtor I want to list it myself in the mls and give the buyers broker only 3%.

Anyone done this and can recommend a listing service? There are a bunch of them.

In my experience, and in this market, serious buyers are using buyer's agents, and buyer's agents are going to present properties listed on the MLS, not FSBO.

I think anyone who tries selling real estate in this market without putting it on the MLS is doing themselves a tremendous disservice. I just can't think of a good reason to eliminate between 50-90% of your potential customers by not spending a couple hundred bucks for a flat-fee listing.

That just seems like a bad business decision to me...
