St. Louis Homes For Sale By Owner

Traditionally, St. Louis home sellers used a REALTOR who placed the home into the St. Louis MLS and on REALTOR.com.  The St. Louis MLS is the Multiple Listing Service which is used by the St. Louis Association of REALTORS and their members to offers their client's properties for sale to other cooperating REALTORS in St. Louis.   The MLS is a powerful marketing tool because the listings on the MLS are displayed on thousands of websites owned by local St. Louis brokers.   Sites owned by Gundaker, Keller Williams, Prudential, Remax, Century 21 and other St. Louis real estate brokers all display MLS listings.

The local MLS in St. Louis is managed by Mid America Regional Information systems, also known as MARIS, but only licensed REALTORS may list properties on the system.  A REALTOR in St. Louis will charge around 6% commission to list your home on the MLS, but they offer the buyer's agent a "co-broker" commission of 2.5% to 3% to sell the home to their buyers.  The buyer's agent shows the home and writes the sales contract which your listing agent typically presents to you.  When you close a traditional sale in St. Louis you are paying 6% of your homes sales price, which is divided among the agents and their brokers.

Up until now For Sale By Owner sellers have not been able to list their own home on the MLS system without paying a traditional listing agent a traditional commission.  Now you don't have to choose between being For Sale By Owner or listing on the REALTOR MLS.  Now you can do both!
