Just for having an option:
Ric:
"Just go to google, type in 'flat fee mls', and your city, you can see if they are available. Usually seller must pay $400-600 up front, and that will get you on the MLS. In some cities there are many, and I would make sure there is a local address where you can go talk to someone, look at papers, and write a check (don't use a web-based one). You still have to offer a 'co-broke' commission if the buyer comes thru another broker. But if the buyer sees your MLS listing and contacts you directly, . . . no additional commission. This does require some business savvy because you will have to be able to understand pages and pages of offers, counter-offers, etc. The fee must also be paid up front and is not refundable if your property doesn't sell. This is not for everyone, some buyers prefer to deal thru a broker, it makes the transaction 'faceless'."
P.S. The quotes are from the thread:
