Flat fee MLS® in Ontario lets you list your property on REALTOR.CA® and the MLS® for a set package fee instead of paying a commission, while you handle showings and offers. With ListedBySeller.ca, packages start at $74.99 per month, or $197.93 for 12 months (about $16.49 a month), plus HST, with no additional fees or commission.
If you’re selling or renting your property yourself in Ontario, the hardest part is getting buyers to see it. Most buyers start their search on REALTOR.CA®, and most agents work from the MLS®. A flat fee MLS® listing gets your property onto both without signing up for a full-service commission.
This post explains how flat fee MLS® works in Ontario, what’s included with ListedBySeller.ca, and exactly what it costs. All prices come straight from our pricing page.
What is a flat fee MLS® listing?
A flat fee listing (also called a “mere posting”) puts your property on the MLS® and REALTOR.CA® for a set fee. You handle the rest: showings, questions and negotiations. Here’s how it works with ListedBySeller.ca:
- No commission. You pay your package fee and that’s it.
- You don’t have to offer a commission to buyer agents. You can choose to offer a cooperating commission to attract agents and their buyers, but you only owe one if you sign a commission agreement with that buyer’s agent.
- You stay in control. You set the price, run the showings and decide which offer to accept.
Why Ontario sellers choose ListedBySeller.ca
1. Your listing goes on 14 agent MLS® boards at no extra charge
Every package lists your property on the PropTx MLS® system, which covers 14 Ontario boards, along with REALTOR.CA®. The boards include the Toronto Regional Real Estate Board, Central Lakes, London and St. Thomas, Niagara, Kingston & Area, Ottawa, Oakville Milton & District, One Point, North Bay & Area, Woodstock Ingersoll Tillsonburg & Area, Cornwall & District, Renfrew County, Rideau-St Lawrence, and Timmins Cochrane & Timiskaming. If you need a board outside PropTx, you can add an interboard upgrade (see the pricing table below).
2. You won’t miss a lead
Because of MLS® rules, your personal contact details aren’t shown on your REALTOR.CA® listing. To make sure every enquiry still reaches you, we include:
- A live receptionist, 24/7, who answers calls about your listing and sends you the caller’s details by email.
- Automated lead forwarding. When someone clicks “Email Realtor” on REALTOR.CA®, you get their details by system email, usually within about 5 minutes, any time of day.
- Your own property webpage, linked from your REALTOR.CA® listing, where buyers can find your contact details, extra photos, videos and links.
3. Changes, open houses and cancelling cost nothing extra
You can post as many open house dates on REALTOR.CA® as you like, and update your listing whenever you want from your online dashboard. We don’t charge for listing changes or for cancelling.
4. More exposure than just REALTOR.CA®
Each package includes 40 photos and videos on REALTOR.CA®, a printable feature sheet, and syndication to other property sites, which may include HouseSigma, Point2Homes, Kijiji, Rentals.ca, HomeFinder and Ovlix. (We can’t promise a listing on every third-party site, since we don’t control what they show.)

Example: what different package lengths cost
This is an example only, calculated from our posted prices, before HST.
Say you expect your sale to take about a year:
- Month to month for 12 months: 12 × $74.99 = $899.88
- 12-month package: $197.93
- Difference: $899.88 − $197.93 = $701.95
If you expect about six months:
- Month to month for 6 months: 6 × $74.99 = $449.94
- 6-month package: $149.97
- Difference: $449.94 − $149.97 = $299.97
Prices are before HST. With Ontario’s 13% HST, the 12-month package comes to about $223.66 (or $16.49 a month before tax), with no commission owed when you sell.
Frequently asked questions
Do I pay a commission when my property sells?
No. You pay only your package fee. There’s no commission on your listing.
Do I have to pay the buyer’s agent?
Not unless you agree to. You can offer a cooperating commission to attract agents, and you only owe one if you sign a commission agreement with a buyer’s agent. You can also negotiate that arrangement directly with the buyer’s agent.
How will buyers contact me if my details aren’t on REALTOR.CA®?
In three ways: by calling the listing phone line, where a 24/7 receptionist passes their details to you; by clicking “Email Realtor,” which forwards their details to you automatically; or by visiting your property webpage, which shows your contact information.
Which areas are covered?
Your listing appears on REALTOR.CA® and the PropTx MLS® system, which covers 14 Ontario boards, from Toronto and Ottawa to London, Niagara, Kingston and North Bay. You can add other boards with an interboard upgrade.
Are there fees to make changes or cancel?
No. Listing changes and cancelling are both free.
