How Does List It Realty Work? Flat-Fee MLS® Explained (Ontario)

In one line: List It Realty is a licensed Ontario real estate brokerage. You pay one flat fee instead of a percentage commission. The flat-fee model is built for sellers who manage their own showings, buyer interest and negotiations — with optional support where you want it — while the brokerage handles the licensed pieces, including placing your property on the MLS® System and REALTOR.ca.

The process, start to finish

Post free. Create a free listing at /list-your-property. It is free forever and shows you how your property presents.
Choose a package. Pick the flat-fee package that matches how much of the sale you plan to manage yourself (see below).
Onboard electronically. You provide your details, photos (up to 50) and price; the brokerage prepares the listing paperwork for e-signature.
Go live on MLS® and REALTOR.ca. Your property is listed and syndicated to tens of thousands of REALTOR®, brokerage and partner websites, plus our own three-site network.
Manage your showings. Showing requests and buyer interest reach you through your List It listing, and you host showings and open houses on your own schedule.
Handle offers your way. Decide on your own, or add Offer-to-Closing Support for agent-managed negotiations and one complete formal written-offer transaction.
Close with your lawyer. Your real estate lawyer handles the legal closing of the transaction.

Why a flat fee can cost less

A traditional full-service commission is a percentage of your sale price, and it bundles many things into one number: the licensed listing, marketing, showings, inquiry handling, negotiation and closing coordination. If you are already comfortable showing your home and making decisions, you are paying that percentage for work you would happily do yourself.

List It separates the pieces. You pay one flat fee for the listing infrastructure — the licensed MLS®/REALTOR.ca placement, the board forms and compliance — and you add professional support only where you actually want it. You are not automatically buying the full-service model to get onto REALTOR.ca.

One important point on cost: any compensation you choose to offer a cooperating (buyer's) brokerage is a separate, negotiable decision and is not part of List It's flat listing fee. So the package price is the listing cost, not necessarily every cost of selling — see do I pay the buyer's agent commission?

What about the money-back guarantee?

The Ultimate package includes a conditional money-back guarantee — it is not a promise that your property will sell, and it has specific eligibility terms. If the conditions are met and the property does not sell, the maximum refund is the Ultimate package price paid plus the HST on it. Read the full terms at /money-back-guarantee and see what happens if your house doesn't sell.
