There are even some who will do flat fee listings for $300-500, some for $1000.

Additionally, the properties are all over (two-flat in a suburb of Chicago, a duplex in Austin, TX, a single family home in Ruston, LA and another single family outside of New Orleans.  

Roofing is a flat rubber substance.

In Washington, the seller signs a contract with their listing agent and agrees on a commission percentage (or a flat fee).

So now there is full blown litigation, TWO attorneys charging and quickly the whole thing goes belly up. 

Seller (a landlord) wants to sell multiple houses/two-flats and 1031 exchange them for bigger & better things (he has 20+ properties).

If you have relatively flat land and great visibility with sight lines from the road grading as an example could be 100k an acre.

Save half the commission when you sell by using Realmart or a similar online MLS listing service, for a flat fee of a few hundred dollars they put you on the MLS and then realtors will bring buyers to you without you having to pay a listing agent of your own.
