The Brokerage Behind ByOwnerOregon
A licensed Oregon real estate firm built on a simple idea: sellers deserve transparent pricing and professional service without the traditional commission markup.
Quick Answer: Who Is ByOwnerOregon?
ByOwnerOregon.com is operated by RealtyNet LLC, a licensed Oregon real estate brokerage founded in 2001. We specialize in flat fee MLS listings for Oregon home sellers, providing statewide coverage through direct membership in Oregon’s regional MLS systems: RMLS, WVMLS, Central Oregon MLS, Southern Oregon MLS, Klamath County MLS (KCMLS), and Oregon Coast MLS. We serve all 36 Oregon counties. We are BBB A+ rated and accredited, and we add no compliance or admin surcharges to any package.
Our Journey
Founded in Oregon
RealtyNet LLC launched with a simple observation: the internet changed how buyers find homes, yet sellers still paid commissions designed for an era of print advertising and gated MLS access.
Flat Fee Model Established
We pioneered our fee-for-service approach — flat-rate MLS listings that get your property into the same databases, onto the same buyer-facing websites, and in front of the same qualified buyers.
Statewide MLS Coverage
Achieved direct membership in Oregon’s regional MLS systems — RMLS, WVMLS, Central Oregon MLS, Southern Oregon MLS, Klamath County MLS (KCMLS), and Oregon Coast MLS — covering every county from the coast to the high desert.
NAR Settlement Adaptation
Adapted seamlessly to the landmark NAR settlement and new commission transparency rules — changes our model was already built for from day one.
Serving Oregon Sellers Statewide
Still family-operated, still based in Oregon. Our clients work directly with an Oregon-licensed broker who understands their local market — not a national call center.
Our Track Record
What We Believe
We believe every Oregon homeowner should have access to professional MLS listing services at a fair, transparent price. That means no surprise fees at closing, no mandatory add-ons, and no fine print that inflates your actual cost.
We also believe in meeting sellers where they are. A first-time FSBO seller in Corvallis has very different needs than an experienced investor in Portland. That's why we offer multiple service levels — from self-directed MLS access to full broker representation — so you can choose the right amount of support for your situation and budget.
Our Fee-for-Service Model
The traditional brokerage model charges a percentage of your sale price, regardless of how much work is actually involved. A 3% commission on a $500,000 home is $15,000 — whether the agent spends 10 hours or 100 hours on your listing.
Our fee-for-service approach is fundamentally different. You pay for the specific services you use, at prices set before you commit. If you only need MLS entry and syndication, that's all you pay for. If you want coaching through the negotiation process, you add that tier. Every option is priced upfront, with no percentage tied to your home's value.
Our Commitments to You
- Transparent pricing — No compliance, admin, or closing fees added to your cost. Your package price is your total price.
- Licensed representation — Every listing is entered by a licensed Oregon broker, not an unlicensed assistant or automated system.
- Statewide access — Active memberships across Oregon’s regional MLS systems, covering every county from the coast to the high desert.
- Seller education — Free resources, guides, and support to help you make informed decisions, whether or not you use our services.
- Fair dealing — BBB A+ accredited. Equal Housing Opportunity. We treat every client with the same care and attention.
