Wow, no posts from agents on how they got top $$ for their clients while a friend's friend of a friend decided to use a discount service and (que in some horrible thing)?

Updates:
I found what appears to be a crazy deal from Continental Real Estate Group, Inc:
$199 gets you a 1 year listing with max MLS pics AND "Full Service" (Full Service: We will field offers, prepare paperwork, negotiate deals, interface with the buyers broker, closing agent (title co. or attorney), mortgage company, appraiser, etc. Includes after hours phone extension when offers come in evenings and weekends. -
See: http://www.mls2u.com/USA/VA/Fairfax/
USRealty isn't free anymore. Looks like they keep playing with their model to see what works. Still only $19 min, but you'll want more pics than the 6.
Note: I am not affiliated with any of these companies

I am in no way affiliated with any of these services. These are just some resources I've come across in my research. Good luck FSBOs!
USRealty.com - (Updated) $19 for 10 pics, $99 for premium listing (30 pics)
xflatfeemls.net - As little as $89 for 1mo, or $109 for 3mo. +$30 for 30 pics. Tons of options like Centralized Showing Service, Open House announcements, lock box
100dollarmls.com aka AltRealty - I believe this is the lead generation tool for Frankly
unitedbrokers.us - $95 min, $295 30 pics
homediscovery.org - $199 min, $359 for 30 pics

You can essentially "DIY" buy a house and save the 2.5-3% commission in either a home price reduction or a cash rebate. But the simplest, most convenient way is to work with an agent that will rebate you anything over 1% commission. Usually there's about a $2,500 min though but in this area that's generally not a problem.
