Flat Fee MLS - Kansas
Kansas law requires real estate brokers to accept and present offers and counteroffers, even if consumer do not wish to buy these services.
Kansas law prohibits real estate brokers from competing with each other by offering consumer rebates. This reduces the ability of consumers to benefit from competition among brokers.
However, according to the Kansas Real Estate Commission, real estate brokers may offer their customers use of moving vans, charitable donations, coupons, closing costs, homeowner warranties, inspections, home repairs, and insurance among other things in the course of the real estate transaction.
