Frequently Asked Questions — Flat-Fee MLS® Listings for Ontario Homeowners & Landlords
Whether you’re selling or renting out your property, List It Realty Brokerage Inc. offers
transparent, flat-fee MLS® packages across Ontario.
Below you’ll find answers to our most common questions from homeowners and landlords across
Toronto, Ottawa, London, Windsor, Hamilton, and every city in Ontario.
💬 General Questions
🌎 Is your MLS® listing service available throughout Ontario?
Yes. Our MLS® services cover all cities, towns, and regions in Ontario — including Toronto, Ottawa, London,
Windsor, Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Kingston, and Sudbury.
You can list any property on MLS® and REALTOR.ca remotely, handled entirely online.
🧾 What is a Flat-Fee MLS® Listing?
A flat-fee MLS® listing lets homeowners or landlords list their property on MLS® and REALTOR.ca
for a single one-time fee — instead of paying a 5% commission.
This gives you full national exposure through the REALTOR® system while maintaining full control of your listing and negotiations.
💰 Do buyers’ agents still get paid a commission?
Yes. You can choose to offer a small buyer’s agent commission (often 2% or less) to attract REALTORS® who bring qualified buyers.
However, you never pay the full 5% — only the flat fee to List It Realty plus whatever you choose to offer to buyer agents.
🏡 Home Seller Questions
📦 What’s included in the Flat-Fee MLS® Listing Packages for sales?
All of our home seller packages include full MLS® + REALTOR.ca exposure across Ontario,
with options for professional photography, CMA (Comparative Market Analysis),
lockbox setup, offer handling, and even marketing materials.
You choose the package that fits your needs — Virtual, Premium, or Premium + Offer Handling.
📈 How long will my MLS® listing stay active?
The Virtual MLS® Listing stays live for six (6) months.
The Premium and Premium + Offer Handling packages remain active
until your home is sold.
📝 How does the offer handling process work?
Our licensed REALTORS® assist with offer negotiation, counter-offers, and documentation to ensure
compliance with the Real Estate and Business Brokers Act (REBBA).
You remain the decision-maker, but we manage the process professionally from start to finish.
🏠 Landlord & Rental Listing Questions
🧩 What’s the difference between the Basic and Premium MLS® Rental Packages?

The Premium MLS® Rental Listing + Legal Guarantee adds

N4 and L1 preparation, LTB representation, and one complimentary re-leasing if eviction occurs within six months.
Government filing fees (LTB, sheriff, etc.) are not included.
📍 Can landlords list rentals outside of Windsor or London?
Yes! Our MLS® rental listing service is available everywhere in Ontario — from
Toronto, Ottawa, and Hamilton to smaller towns like Chatham, Sarnia, or North Bay.
