About Morro
What Is Morro?
Morro is a flat-fee MLS listing service that helps Quebec homeowners list their property on Centris through licensed real estate brokers. It is designed for sellers who want broad market exposure and a structured selling process without a traditional listing-side percentage commission model.
Is Morro a real estate agency?
No. Morro is not a real estate agency. It is a seller-focused service that facilitates MLS listings and transaction support through licensed Quebec real estate brokers, who handle the official listing and required documentation.
Is Morro the same as FSBO or DuProprio?
No. Morro is not a private-sale platform. FSBO and DuProprio-style models are built around selling without a broker. Morro works through licensed brokers to place properties on Centris and within the MLS broker network.
Who is Morro best suited for?
Morro is best suited for informed sellers who want Centris exposure, licensed broker involvement, and a more structured process than private sale typically offers, while keeping listing costs more predictable than a traditional percentage-based listing model.
Is Morro compliant with real estate rules in Quebec?
Yes. MLS listings arranged through Morro are handled by licensed Quebec real estate brokers and follow applicable real estate rules and documentation requirements in Quebec.
Centris and MLS
Can I list on Centris without a broker?
No. In Quebec, properties are published on Centris through licensed real estate brokers. A flat-fee MLS service gives sellers access to Centris through a broker without a traditional listing-side percentage commission structure.
Will my property appear on Centris?
Yes. Your property is listed through a licensed real estate broker and published on Centris.
Will my property also appear on Realtor.ca?
Yes. Listings published on Centris are also distributed to Realtor.ca, which increases visibility beyond the Centris platform.
What is a flat-fee MLS listing in Quebec?
A flat-fee MLS listing is a fixed-cost way to publish your property on Centris and within the MLS broker network through a licensed real estate broker, instead of paying a traditional listing-side percentage commission.
What is the difference between DuProprio and an MLS listing?
DuProprio and other private-sale platforms allow sellers to market directly to buyers. However, those listings are not published on Centris and are not distributed within the MLS broker network. An MLS listing is published through a licensed broker and is visible to buyer agents across the broader market.
Pricing and Commissions
How much does it cost to list with Morro?
Pricing starts at $2,500 plus tax. Buyer-broker compensation is offered separately and can vary depending on the property, the location, and your market strategy.
Do I still need to offer compensation to a buyer’s broker?
In most MLS transactions, compensation is offered to the buyer’s broker who brings a successful buyer. The amount is determined by the seller and can be structured as a fixed amount or a percentage, depending on the strategy.
Does Morro charge a percentage-based commission?
No. Morro does not charge a listing-side percentage commission. The service is built around a fixed listing fee. Buyer-broker compensation, when offered, is handled separately as part of normal MLS market practice.
What additional costs should I expect beyond the flat fee?
In addition to the flat fee, sellers may choose to offer buyer-broker compensation and may also select optional services such as professional photography or marketing tools. These items are discussed in advance so costs remain clear.
Is a flat-fee MLS listing less expensive than a traditional listing?
For many sellers, yes on the listing side, because the listing cost is fixed rather than tied to the sale price. Overall selling costs will still depend on buyer-broker compensation and any optional services selected.
Process and Support
Do I still work with a licensed real estate broker?
Yes. Your property is listed through a licensed real estate broker, which allows it to be published on Centris and shared within the MLS broker network.
Who handles the listing paperwork?
The official listing and required transaction documents are handled through a licensed real estate broker, with Morro helping coordinate the process.
Who helps with pricing, offers, and negotiations?
You remain in control of the major decisions. Morro provides structured support on pricing, offer review, and transaction coordination through licensed professionals.
What is included in the flat fee?
The flat fee covers the setup and management of the MLS listing, publication on Centris, visibility through the MLS network, and support throughout the listing period and key transaction steps.
Can my property be marketed privately and on Centris at the same time?
In some cases, yes. Some sellers choose to market their property privately while also listing it on Centris through a broker. The right setup depends on your strategy and should be discussed in advance.
