Thanks for your feedback and for listing on Fizber.com. We apologize for your experience. We do include on our Flat Fee MLS page a FAQ section that specifically addresses commissions required to be on the MLS. The MLS is controlled by Realtors and it is a platform Realtors use to market their homes for sale. Because the MLS is controlled by Realtors, there are rules requiring that any MLS listing must compensate a buyers agent. Per our FAQ section: "What commission rate do I need to offer a Buyers Agent if I list with the Flat Fee MLS Broker? You decide the commission, from 1 percent to 3 percent. Fizber recommends offering buyers’ agents the traditional 2.5 or 3 percent buy-side commission. That means that you keep the 2.5 or 3 percent commission that usually goes to a listing agent, retaining that portion of your home equity for yourself." Please note that Fizber receives no money from this commission amount it goes directly to the agent representing a buyer. If you find a buyer that has no agent, then you are not required to pay this amount but by nature of the MLS your home will be in front of buyers agents and the MLS requires that you offer some compensation to them. We have also reached out to you directly regarding this, however, please know that your purchase is 100% refundable up until the point you list on the MLS. We apologize for the buyers agent compensation not being clear and will work harder to making sure this is more transparent going forward, however, we have no intent on being deceptive or to "scam" any customer...which is why we offer a 100% refund to any customer that decides not to list on the MLS after purchasing. We have processed your refund for the time being and will be happy to call you personally when our business office opens on Monday morning (PST).

Hi Ralph - Thank you for listing your property on Fizber.com and taking advantage of our FREE listing! We appreciate you giving us the opportunity to help you sell your property and save thousands! It appears your listing which consists of the sale of a 1,250 acre Horse & Cattle Ranch in Hornbrook, CA has been listed on our website for 9 days. Every property and market is different and there are a number of factors that drives interest and inquiries from buyers. Typically, land takes a little longer to sell and with the property listed at $1.5MM that is also a price point that limits the buyer pool. Admittedly, the buyers that visit Fizber.com are looking for traditional homes and we do not have a strong demand of buyers looking to acquire land at this time. I would recommend adding more photos of the structures on the property and highlighting those as this will attract more buyer interest on our website. We are happy to continue to help market your property for free or we can deactivate the listing for you if you do not wish to continue to get the free exposure on Fizber.com. Just let us know. We will also reach out to you directly to follow up on this. We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best in selling your property!
