Its time to shed a little light on this, at least from our perspective.  The new MLS® rules allow for a licensed REALTOR® to do what is referred to as "mere-posting" a listing onto the MLS®.  They will charge some sort of nominal fee for this, probably around $500 or something.  The idea here is to allow people to market their properties themselves, (For Sale By Owner) and do all of the work themselves.
