When you decide to sell your home, you will obviously want to bring as many buyers to the home as possible. After all, if you increase the pool of potential buyers, you increase the chances of selling. By listing with a real estate professional, your home can be included in a multiple listing service (MLS) to help significantly increase its exposure. Real estate brokers who participate in an MLS program agree to share commission on the sale of a house listed by any broker in the system. The typical 6% listing commission paid by the seller is then split between the selling and listing agents Brokerage.
