Flat Fee Group charges a flat fee to list your home on the MLS. Show & Disclose is a free platform for managing the entire seller-managed listing process. Here's how they compare — and why many sellers use both.
Flat Fee Group is a flat-fee MLS listing service. You pay a one-time fee (typically $299-$499) to get your home listed on the MLS and major real estate sites (Zillow, Realtor.com, etc.). They handle MLS entry; you handle everything else.
Show & Disclose is a free platform that helps you manage what happens after you list: showings, disclosures, buyer communication, and the transaction process. It's the operational backbone for seller-managed listings.

Flat Fee Group and Show & Disclose aren't really competitors — they're complementary tools for different parts of the FSBO process:
"How do I get my home on Zillow, Realtor.com, and the MLS without paying a listing agent commission?"
"Now that my home is listed, how do I professionally manage showings, share disclosures, and communicate with buyers and their agents?"
The most effective FSBO sellers combine three tools:
Total cost: ~$1,000-$2,500 vs. $15,000+ with a traditional listing agent on a $500K home.
Bottom line: Flat Fee Group gets buyers to your door. Show & Disclose helps you manage everything that happens once they arrive. Together, they replace a listing agent at a fraction of the cost.
