Illinois Flat Fee MLS
List on the MLS for a Flat Fee
and Offer 0% Commission
List your home on the MLS for a flat fee and take advantage of the same powerful MLS exposure used by traditional real estate brokerages. You can save thousands in listing commissions while still receiving full broker support throughout the listing process.
With the recent changes to the real estate industry, offers of buyer-broker compensation are negotiable. Sellers may choose whether to offer compensation to a buyer’s broker, and any such offer is handled outside of the MLS. The amount – and whether any compensation is offered at all – is up to the seller and is negotiable.

Client Reviews
See why Illinois homeowners choose Circle One Realty for flat fee MLS listing services.
We used Ryan to sell a townhouse. We went with his least expensive package and we saved thousands of dollars! He did a great job negotiating the sale and he always returned my emails and calls very quickly. I would use him again!
Thank you Ryan for all your support!, Your knowledge of the overall MLS listing requirements, along with your expert guidance navigating us thru the total process/documents required from beginning to end was excellent. Your professionalism during negotiations was added value to our selling the property.
Would highly recommend using Ryan for selling a home. After listing with Ryan our house sold in two days. He was very helpful with the whole process of selling. Also saved thousands of dollars in commission fees.

Illinois Flat Fee MLS Listing FAQs
Have questions about listing your home with Circle One Realty? Here are answers to some of the questions Illinois homeowners ask most often.
How does a flat fee MLS listing work in Illinois?
A flat fee MLS listing allows you to list your property on the MLS for a set fee instead of paying a traditional percentage-based listing commission. With Circle One Realty, your property is listed in the MRED MLS and distributed to major real estate websites such as Realtor.com, Homes.com, Zillow and other sites that receive MLS listing data.
You work directly with Circle One Realty for broker support while retaining the ability to handle many aspects of the sale yourself. Circle One Realty can also assist with pricing, negotiations, paperwork and other parts of the transaction.
What is MRED?
MRED, or Midwest Real Estate Data, is the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) used by real estate professionals throughout the Chicagoland area and surrounding parts of Illinois.
When you list your property with Circle One Realty, your listing is entered into the MRED MLS, where it can be seen by participating real estate professionals and distributed through MLS-connected real estate websites.
Will my home be listed on Zillow and Realtor.com?
Yes. Circle One Realty listings are distributed through MRED to major real estate websites, including Zillow and Realtor.com, as well as other websites that receive MLS listing data.
The exact appearance and timing of a listing on third-party websites can vary because those websites control how they display MLS data.
Do I still work with a real estate broker?
Yes. Circle One Realty is a licensed Illinois real estate brokerage, and your listing receives broker support from Ryan Cherney throughout the process.
Unlike an out-of-state referral company or call center, Circle One Realty is locally owned and you work directly with an experienced Chicagoland broker. Ryan can provide guidance regarding the listing, offers, negotiations and required paperwork.
Can I offer compensation to a buyer's broker?
Yes. Offers of compensation to a buyer’s broker are negotiable. Sellers can choose whether to offer compensation and, if they do, the amount is negotiable and handled outside of the MLS.
If you are considering offering buyer-broker compensation, Circle One Realty can help you understand your options as part of the listing process.
Who handles showings?
The seller typically handles showings and works directly with prospective buyers or their agents. Circle One Realty provides guidance and support, while sellers can choose how they want to manage access to their property.
Depending on the listing package, Circle One Realty also offers Showing Appointment Scheduling services to help coordinate showings.
How do I receive and respond to offers?
When you receive an offer, Circle One Realty can help you review the terms, understand your options and negotiate with the buyer or buyer’s agent.
Ryan provides broker guidance throughout the negotiation and paperwork process, helping you evaluate offers and respond appropriately.
Does Circle One Realty provide support throughout the transaction?
Yes. Circle One Realty provides broker support throughout the listing and transaction process. Ryan can assist with questions, offers, negotiations, required paperwork and other issues that arise during the sale.
