The “mulitple listing system”, called the MLS, gives the broadest exposure possible to homes for sale. In today’s competitive market, you need the most marketing exposure possible, but attempting to sell without the benefit of the MLS can be a like trying to sell shares of stock without the stock exchange. Or, proverbially, “like trying to find a needle in a haystack”. Advertising to the public is a high cost proposition and since you only have one property to sell, the economies of scale work against you. Realtors® have the benefit of having thousands of properties to sell. The MLS creates an efficient marketing system through which Realtors® can cooperate to assist each other in selling each other’s listings.
And through the Realtors® trade organization, the National Association of Realtors®, an MLS listing also gets exposure on Realtor.com, the nation’s leading real estate web portal, you’ll reach even more potential buyers when your property is listed in the MLS by owner. According to a recent survey, over 75% of buyers now start their search for a home on the Internet, most of them on Realtor.com.
Now you can list your home or property in the same MLS used by Realtors® without having to pay a listing commission. List by owner on the MLS with a flat fee MLS listing company like Bloomkey® and you can have the best of both worlds. More exposure to help you sell your home for the highest possible price and still retain the right to sell on your own and not pay a commission.

Most buyers purchase real estate based on MLS service listings
When you have a home to sell, whether you are selling on your own or through a realtor, it is important to be sure that your property is listed in the MLS – Multiple Listing Service.
MLS is the go-to place for brokers and agents and – as a result – buyers. When you list your home in the MLS, it’s more likely to be found by buyers. Because it is more readily found, a home listed in the MLS is more readily sold, provided the price is right.
If you’re looking to sell your home, you owe it to yourself to be sure that the home is listed in the multiple listing service. And, with IHS Realty, you can be sure to get your home listed for a one time flat fee.

Saving thousands in equity, while maximizing marketing potential seems to be the motivating factor for home sellers that enlist the services of a flat fee MLS broker. Savvy home owners have quickly come to realize the valuable savings advantage offered by these types of flat fee MLS service providers and discount realtors. Flat fee MLS and discount providers offer the same exposure through the MLS and public websites as any traditional agent with the only difference being, homeowners maintain complete control over the showing and contract negotiation process. With flat fee MLS, customers are afforded the same ancillary services such as home warranties, virtual tours, open houses, and broker assistance (usually available for an additional fee.)
