FLAT FEE MLS Michigan

Hidden Fees? Not with Houzeo

Houzeo doesn’t believe in hidden fees and discloses all the costs upfront. Transparency is in our DNA. Several Flat Fee MLS Michigan companies claim to list your home on the market for $99 or lower. The appeal is real, but your savings will not last long. You may have to pay for every little change you need to make to your listing. A few sneaky fees might pop up when you’re at the closing table. Always read the terms and conditions page of the Michigan Flat Fee MLS service you choose.

Here’s a rundown of some things you might end up paying for: Read More

• Title Company Referral Fee—$50 to $200: Companies like Flat Fee MLS Realty and several others get a referral fee from title companies. This fee is from the monies you pay. If you select your option, you’ll be forced to pay a “Coordination” fee. It’s like paying a “convenience fee” for not using the free ATM. There are several other junk fees associated with choosing your own title service.
• Coordination Fee—$50 to $200: You’re paying for the privilege of not using the title company your Flat Fee Michigan MLS company suggested. When you pick your own title company, your Flat Fee company has to coordinate well with that title company. It’s like upgrading to premium streaming to dodge ads—totally worth it, but your bank account still feels the burn when that extra charge hits.
• Cancellation or Listing Removal Fees—$50 to $100: You thought your Michigan listing is a dream home, but now it’s more like a Detroit Lions season opener—lots of hope, no action. If you decide to take your listing down early or cancel it, most Flat Fee MLS Michigan services will charge a removal fee. Depending on the company's policy, this can range from $50 to $100 or more.
• Photo Updates Fees—$25 to $75: The kitchen photo taken from a wrong angle that you posted looks like a Detroit storage unit now. To glow up your listing by adding or swapping out professional photos, you will have to spend $25 to $75 in Michigan. The fees depend on how many photos you need to upload.
• Listing Price Update—$25 to $50: Your Michigan listing had all the glitz and glamour of Mackinac Island, until the market showed you otherwise. Michigan Flat Fee Services will charge you a fee if you need to adjust the asking price after it’s live. Depending on the provider, this fee can range from $25 to $50 per change.
• Feature Changes—$20 to $50: You got a master suite with a walk-in closet, but your listing still says ‘no master suite’? That’s like repping Ohio State in the middle of Michigan—just plain wrong. Need an update? A Flat Fee MLS Michigan provider will charge you $20 to $50 per feature change.
• Addendum Fees—$25 to $50: You called your Michigan house ‘move-in ready,’ but now buyers are questioning why the roof leaks like a Detroit pothole. Expect to pay between $25 to $50 for adding disclosures, inspection reports, or other docs to your listing after it’s posted on the MLS (per document).
• Open House Updates—$25 to $50: You thought you’d have a nice weekend open house, but then Traverse City decided to throw a cherry festival. If you want to add or update details to reschedule an open house event, expect to pay around $25 to $50 to your Michigan Flat Fee MLS listing service.
• Description Update Fees—$20 to $40: You called it ‘spacious,’ but in reality it’s more like ‘room for one, barely enough for two.’ The ‘huge master bedroom’ is just a room with a bed and an unfortunate amount of unused furniture. Need a description change? But you can’t do it for free with some Michigan Flat Fee MLS listing services. You’ll have to spend $20 to $40 for each update.
