What is an 'a la carte' listing in real estate terms?

A listing where fees are based on flat rates for individual services.
A listing described as a commission-based listing.
A listing not permitted under regulations as brokerages can only charge a percentage of the sale price.
A listing that involves full service by the brokerage.
A listing where the client pays only for the services they use.
A premium listing that includes all brokerage services.

The correct answer is: A listing where fees are based on flat rates for individual services.

An 'a la carte' listing in real estate refers to a model where clients can select and pay only for the specific services they require from the brokerage. This approach allows for flexibility, as the client is not locked into a full-service package and can control costs by opting for certain services, such as marketing, negotiating, or paperwork assistance, rather than paying a standard fee for all services. The focus on individualized service means that clients can tailor their experience based on their unique needs, which is beneficial in a competitive market. The concept contrasts with traditional commission-based models where clients typically pay a percentage of the final sale price regardless of the number of services utilized. By emphasizing the ability to choose, the 'a la carte' option empowers clients to make informed decisions about their real estate transactions.
