- Roughly $14,500 on a typical Santa Fe home. Home Posted FSBO listings are free, you avoid the 5–6% agent commission entirely.

- Do I have to put my Santa Fe FSBO on the MLS?
- No, Home Posted's marketplace gives you direct exposure to retail buyers and to our pre-screened cash-buyer network without the MLS. If you want MLS exposure too, you can pair our listing with a flat-fee MLS service (typically $300–$500 in New Mexico) and still avoid the listing-agent commission.
- What disclosures do I need to make as a New Mexico FSBO seller?
