Advertising Costs

  When I have been interviewing realtors to sell a house, they all harp on the cost of advertising the property. I understand there is significant cost depending on where they advertise but am curious what it costs a realtor to list a property on the MLS.
Thanks
Matt
 
  Each Multiple Listing System will have its own rules and I can't tell what applies in your area.  Often there's an annual membership fee rather than a separate charge for each listing.  I believe that what those agents are talking about involves additional advertising costs -- advertising is the broker's largest expense, more than office costs for example.
