Iowa Flat Fee MLS

	Limits choice of brokerage services
	Prohibits brokers from offering rebates to consumers

Iowa law requires real estate brokers to accept and present offers and counteroffers, and answer their clients’ questions in every real estate transaction, even if consumers do not wish to buy these services. Consumers can no longer purchase and brokers can no longer offer MLS-listing-only and other à la carte services.

Iowa law prohibits consumers from receiving consumer rebates when more than one broker assists them to buy or sell property. For example, two brokers may believe that each has a specialty in particular parts of the real estate transaction and wish to divide up the work to focus on what each does best. In such a situation, the home buyer may not receive a rebate.
