    How Flat Fee MLS Works in Chicago, Illinois

    With a flat fee MLS listing, you pay one upfront fee instead of a percentage of your sale price. Chicago sellers start at $99, with $149 and $188 packages available when you want additional listing features.

    After checkout, you complete a simple listing dashboard with your property details and photos. Your property is then entered into MRED, the multiple listing service that serves Chicago and communities across Cook County — through a licensed Illinois listing broker, which puts it in front of local real estate professionals and can syndicate it to major consumer real estate websites — subject to MLS and third-party syndication and display policies.

    From there, you're in control. Buyer inquiries and showing requests come directly to you, and there is no listing commission at closing taken out of your proceeds.
