What Is a Flat Fee MLS Listing?

Common Questions About Flat-Fee MLS Listings
Understanding how flat-fee MLS listings work on Centris
Selling a home involves more than just comparing fees. Below are answers to the most common questions we hear from homeowners evaluating flat-fee MLS options in Quebec.
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 with the MLS broker network. Support is provided throughout the process, including offer handling and closing coordination.
Can I list my home on Centris without a real estate agent?
No. In Quebec, listings on Centris must be published through a licensed real estate broker. Flat-fee MLS services provide a way to access Centris through a broker without committing to a traditional commission-based structure.
Will my property appear on Centris?
Yes. Properties are listed on Centris through a licensed real estate broker and are visible to buyer agents across the MLS network, as well as to the public through platforms like Realtor.ca.
Will my property appear on Realtor.ca?
Yes. Listings published on Centris are also distributed to Realtor.ca, increasing visibility beyond the Centris platform.
Do I still need to pay a commission to the buyer’s agent?
In most MLS transactions, compensation is offered to a buyer’s agent who brings a successful buyer. The amount is determined by the seller and can vary depending on the property and market strategy.
Is a flat-fee MLS listing the same as selling privately?
No. A flat-fee MLS listing places your property on Centris through a licensed broker, making it visible to the broader network of buyer agents. Private-sale platforms do not offer this level of exposure within the broker network.
How much does it cost to list on MLS in Quebec?
The cost depends on the approach. Traditional real estate brokerages typically charge a percentage-based commission, while flat-fee MLS services offer a fixed listing cost. With Morro, your property is listed on Centris for a flat fee, with no listing-side percentage commission.
What is the difference between DuProprio and MLS listings?
DuProprio and other private-sale platforms allow sellers to market directly to buyers. However, these listings are not published on Centris and are not distributed within the MLS broker network. An MLS listing, by contrast, is published through a licensed broker and made visible to buyer agents, which can significantly expand exposure.
What is the best way to list a home on Centris in Quebec?
In Quebec, properties are listed on Centris through a licensed real estate broker. Sellers can choose between a traditional full-service brokerage or a flat-fee MLS model, which provides access to Centris and the MLS network without a percentage-based listing commission.
