Just so people know agents can see in the MLS that a flat fee person listed your property.

2 things will happen.

The buyers broker will inform the clients they can come in with a lower offer as the seller is saving on the commission.

The buyers broker understands they will be helping the sellers and do twice the work for the same fee as the flat fee brokerage will provide limited help getting to closing.

This makes it a negative showing your property.

Bottom line is the listing broker did not create the market or a seller overpaying in the first place.Using a flat fee company is not in many cases going to solve your problems.
