Which tasks remain with an FSBO seller?
A self-managed sale transfers work to the owner: pricing research, preparation, media, inquiry screening, showing access, document coordination, negotiation, disclosure handling, and deadline tracking. A flat-fee service can cover some distribution without covering all of those tasks.
List the work before choosing FSBO or flat-fee distribution: pricing evidence, condition preparation, media, inquiry screening, showing access, disclosure delivery, offer comparison, negotiation, deadlines, and closing coordination. Ask each provider exactly what it does and does not do. A listing feed is distribution, not proof that every transaction task is covered.
What does a flat-fee listing actually cover?
Write the tasks you will perform, the documents you need, and the professional help you will retain. Do not describe a feature, boundary, condition, or permit status without evidence.
Who tracks the transaction after an offer?
Compare the expected savings with time, risk, access, and transaction complexity. Use qualified advice for contracts, title, and tax questions.
Before accepting an offer, identify who tracks contingencies, delivers documents, verifies identity, and coordinates settlement. Those tasks do not disappear because a property appears in an MLS feed.
Before deciding about FSBO and Flat-Fee MLS: Work, Costs and Tradeoffs, what will you document?
Choose the model only after every marketing, access, document, negotiation, deadline, and settlement task has an accountable owner.
