How Flat Fee MLS Works

At ByOwnerOregon.com, we make it easy for homeowners to list their property on the MLS and get the exposure they need—without paying a 6% commission. Here’s how our Flat Fee MLS system helps you save thousands while staying in control of your sale.

• Listed on the MLS — Your home is listed on your local MLS, the same system used by all licensed real estate agents in Oregon.
• Maximum Online Exposure — Your listing is syndicated to top sites like Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, Trulia, Coldwell Banker, Re/Max, Keller Williams, and more.
• Up to 48 Photos — You can submit between 25 and 48 professional images, depending on the listing package you choose.
• You Set Buyer Agent Compensation — While MLS rules now prohibit displaying Buyer's Agent Commission (BAC) in the listing, you may still offer compensation through a separate written agreement outside the MLS.
• Direct Communication — Your contact info and showing instructions are visible to licensed agents in the MLS private fields. All buyer leads go directly to you.
• Sell on Your Terms — Show your home, negotiate offers, and save thousands by avoiding traditional agent commissions.
• Social Media Friendly — Share your professional Realtor.com listing with family, friends, and social media contacts.
• All Required Forms Included — You'll receive all Oregon state-required real estate disclosure forms.
• Cancel Anytime — No commitment, no hidden fees, and no cancellation penalties.

*MLS and IDX rules prohibit seller contact information from appearing in public listing descriptions. However, buyer agents will see your contact info and showing instructions in the MLS private remarks.
