Has anyone in multifamily sales used a Flat Fee Brokerage before to list a small property?
Has any salesperson or broker used a flat fee brokerage to list a property on the MLS?

Is this possible? I want complete control of the process i just don't have access to the MLS.

Any help or alternate suggestions will be helpful.

I've found 10 units or less generates a ton of attention from MLS, but be prepared to educate tons of residential brokers who will reach out. I believe we paid $250 as a flat fee to post in MLS, and the agent that did it for us just directed everyone to reach out to us in the private remarks. We didn't do any other kind of commission split. Just a one-time fee immediately to post it and then do nothing.\n\nWe found the person who helped us just through a referral relationship. I'm sure tons and tons of residential agents would love to list it in the MLS for you for marketing purposes alone.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "hbe01w9", "text": "In most of brokerages the fees are negotiable.  1% of even lower for listing.  Some charge a flat fee \\~10K to market on expensive commercial sites besides MLS.  You can ask to review all offers and approve or reject them. A few one can stipulate listing agent only represent you not both sides but he needs to get paid more.  A 4-plex or more in our area runs a few 7 figures buyer agent fee can be reduced. Do not expect many approach sellers direct. They all come with a hungary agent needing to be paid by sellers. Buyers all depend on a person to negotiate.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}, {"id": "hbi3a80", "text": "not a legit service but i've had res agents list my smaller mf on the MLS before and just send everyone to me.  It works well with maybe &lt;20 units in my market.  Like the other guy said be prepared for a lot of people who have no idea what they are doing to contact you.  You will straight up get res agents calling you at like 10am on a saturday saying they have a super serious buyer who has a break in their schedule at noon and how many of the occupied units could they see at that time?  They are realllly reallly busy and it has to be then.  \n\nIf it is saleable through costar etc to the larger guys I wouldn't bother.  If its smaller and you aren't getting traffic then mls probably helps, but omg will it waste sooooo much of your time.\n\nAlso make sure you are up to date on your fair housing.  like 99% of the time when I got calls on properties and people ask me shit like \"what are the tenants like?  Lots of black people?\" its because its on the mls.", "replies": [], "depth": 1}]
