Allows choice of brokerage services
	Allows brokers to offer rebates to consumers

California allows real estate brokers to provide rebates to consumers and to customize their real estate service offerings to meet their customers’ needs. California Flat fee MLS is a term used to describe a practice in California in which realtors place pertinent information about a California property for sale into the database of a California local Multiple Listing Service (MLS) for a set fee or dollar amount as opposed to a commission based on the contract selling price of the property.

California consumers may use a flat fee MLS broker and sell (or otherwise transfer title to the real property) to any person whom they procure (i.e. someone who is not represented by a "Buyer's Broker") without having to pay a buyer's brokerage commission or penalty.  

Consumers can:

• Search for a Flat fee MLS broker in California and Go FSBO!
• Wipe out the listing brokerage commission and save thousands.
• Stay in control by eliminating certain contractual risks that are present when using a full service real estate broker.
• Deal directly with a licensed California broker. Fees vary by State, County, and Local Broker.
• MLS Listings are updated in real time and are available for viewing on www.realtor.com and your local MLS 24/7.
