Third Party Referral Sites
ByOwnerOregon.com is not a Third Party Referral Site. We are owned and operated by a licensed Oregon Real Estate Broker and have been providing Flat Fee MLS Listing services since 2002.
Below are a few questions and answers to help you understand what a Third Party Referral Site is and why it is better to choose to do business directly with the Broker that will be listing your property.
Question
What is a Third Party Referral Site?
Answer
A Third Party Referral Site is a website that collects money from you, then sells your lead to a local broker.
Question
Why do you want to avoid a Third Party Referral Site?
Answer
- They normally cost more.
- You don't know who your local broker will be.
- They contract with the cheapest broker in your area and good service is not a priority.
- Since the Third Party Referral Company is making the most money you pay them, the local broker will do a lot of "up selling" in order to make money.
Question
Who are some Third Party Referral Sites?
Answer
- ForSaleByOwner.com
- Owners.com
- CornerstoneMLS.com
- FlatFeeMLSListing.com
- MLSMyHome.com
- FSBO.com
- FlatFeeListing.com
and many others.
Question
How do you know you are calling a Third Party Referral Site?

When you call a company, ask: Are you the broker that will be listing my home or will you be referring it out to someone else?
