Is a Flat Fee Listing Right for You?

“Save more when you sell smart. Discover the power of flat fee listings.”

If you’re thinking about selling your home, you’ve probably asked yourself:
“Do I really need to pay a full commission to sell my house?”

At Blue Heron Real Estate, we say: Not necessarily.

Flat fee listings are changing the way people sell homes — especially in North Carolina’s coastal communities. But is this the right choice for you?

Let’s explore the benefits and how to know if it’s a good fit.

💡 What Is a Flat Fee Listing?

A flat fee listing means you pay a fixed rate to have your home professionally listed in the MLS (Multiple Listing Service). Your listing still gets exposure on Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and other top sites — without paying a large percentage-based commission.

It’s a simple way to get maximum visibility without giving up a big chunk of your sale price.

✅ Benefits of a Flat Fee Listing

✔ Keep More of Your Equity
You don’t need to give away 5–6% of your sale price in commission. With a flat fee listing, you save thousands — and still get your home seen by serious buyers.

✔ You’re in Control
You can handle showings, communication, or negotiations at your own pace. Or, choose to add services only when you need a helping hand.

✔ You’re Not Alone
At Blue Heron Real Estate, we’re always here for guidance, forms, and local expertise — even with our most basic plans.
