About

In the early 1990’s an agent in Florida owned a brokerage and started offering a la cart services to his clients. When home sellers purchased these a la cart services from him, he would accept a flat fee instead of a percentage of the sales price when the transaction closed. One of the most popular a la carte options was the Flat Fee MLS listing. The agent would unbundle this service and post the home for sale on the MLS without requiring the home seller to use his other services.
