All real estate brokers do not charge the same fee. Some brokers charge 6 – 7% to list and sell a house and others charge half that amount, some companies charging a flat fee <\/a>of $300 – $500 to list a house. There is now a company affiliated with Buy Side Realty<\/a> who will list the house at ZERO<\/a>. Correct. A FREE MLS listing. And when you buy a house through Buy Side, they will give you back 75% of the commission. These companies are already “national” unlike the endlessly commented upon Redfin<\/a>, who only has offices in a few cities.<\/p>\n
