Ohio for sale by owner (Ohio FSBO) means that you are not working with agents whatsoever, in any capacity. Only a real estate agent can list a property for a flat fee on an Ohio MLS, so you are technically no longer considered an Ohio FSBO since you paid Chosen Real Estate Group for their Ohio flat fee MLS to have the property listed.
Ohio FSBO (not working with agents at all) is typically not successful because nearly 86% of buyers have an agent and that agent will only show your property if you are offering a commission through the Ohio MLS. Ohio Flat fee MLS solves that problem while still giving the seller a cost savings from not using a commission based listing agent. Say no more 6% commission. In addition, the seller may find a buyer who does not have an agent which allows them to effectively pay zero commission (except the original Ohio flat fee paid).
The real estate industry would like you to think that the only way to sell a home is by paying a full 6% commission, but that is just not true. Ohio flat fee MLS agents and real estate agents that accept less than 6% commission are the norm. Home sellers can capture tremendous cost savings by understanding just a small amount of how real estate works (such as knowing they can list on the MLS for a flat fee).
