List Your North Carolina PropertyKeep Your Equity: Flat Fee MLS Throughout North Carolina
At Hawkins Real Estate Services, we provide North Carolina homeowners, real estate investors, coastal retreat sellers, and rural acreage owners with direct Multiple Listing Service listing entry through The Hive MLS via our cost-effective, transparent Flat Fee MLS listing packages.
Serving the Piedmont Triad, the coastal plains, the Sandhills, the Crystal Coast, and the Albemarle Sound, our comprehensive statewide coverage connects sellers across every major economic corridor and lifestyle market in North Carolina. Whether marketing a brick colonial in Winston-Salem, an executive golf-course residence in Greensboro, a waterfront home in Wilmington or the Outer Banks, or equestrian acreage in the Piedmont and Sandhills, listing on The Hive MLS provides direct exposure to licensed REALTORS® and active buyers locally, regionally, and nationwide.
By eliminating the conventional 3% listing agent commission, sellers keep thousands of dollars in equity at closing. Flat Fee MLS offers identical Multiple Listing Service syndication to all primary consumer platforms—including Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and Homes.com—while giving you full For Sale By Owner (FSBO) control over your showing schedule, open houses, and net closing proceeds.
