How Listing on the MLS Works in Columbus
The MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is the database real estate agents use to find homes for their buyers. When your Columbus home is listed there, every participating agent in the area can see it, and the listing feeds out to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, Homes.com and other major home search sites.
With a flat fee listing, you get that same MLS exposure without signing up for a percentage-based listing commission. Buyer calls come to a dedicated listing phone number that forwards straight to you, and you can put that number on your yard sign.
Choose the $199 MLS Listing to handle the sale yourself, or add a licensed Nebraska broker's help with Broker Assist ($499) or Full-Service ($1,499).
What you'll need to list
- Signed listing agreement
- Nebraska seller property condition disclosure forms
- Photos (or our professional photography with Full-Service*)
- Property details: bedrooms, baths, square footage, lot, taxes, updates
- Your asking price — or a CMA from us to set it
