Flat fee MLSs

[Andrew Nagy]

Hi,

I been researching flat fee MLS services because I'd like to control my own sale, and save money. I've come across a couple services I'm interested in, however, my main gripe with these services are not the fees, but the means of connecting buyers to sellers. They use a relay system where the potential buyer calls the service and your contact information is then given. This just presents one more wall between the buyer and the seller. Are there any services that allow contact information from the seller to be on the listing itself? Or is this an industry standard where only licensed realtors can have contact information on the MLS? This may be a deal breaker for me if so.
