FLAT FEE MLS Colorado

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 Colorado 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 Colorado Flat Fee MLS service you choose.

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

• 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 Colorado 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 paying for a ski lift pass in Aspen instead of hiking up the mountain—sure, it's extra, but it saves you a whole lot of sweat.
• Cancellation or Listing Removal Fees—$50 to $100: You thought this was your dream sale, but now it feels like booking a Rocky Mountain hike, then turning back at the trailhead. If you decide to take your listing down early or cancel it, most Flat Fee MLS Colorado 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: Those photos you posted might impress your hiking buddies, but they won't climb your home's asking price. To glow up your listing by adding or swapping out professional photos, you will have to spend $25 to $75 in Colorado. The fees depend on how many photos you need to upload.
• Listing Price Update—$25 to $50: You listed your home like a luxury chalet in Aspen. However, now buyers aren’t biting—probably because those property taxes hit harder than a snowstorm in the Rockies! Colorado 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 called that dated jacuzzi in Wisconsin ‘retro chic,’ but now it's just a broken hot tub with a side of rust. Time to update—no one’s signing up for a spa day that comes with a tetanus shot. A Flat Fee MLS Colorado provider will charge you $20 to $50 per feature change.
• Addendum Fees—$25 to $50: You called it a ‘custom kitchen’ in Colorado, but now you’re realizing the cabinets are falling apart faster than Broncos playoff hopes. 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: Your open house was all set until you remembered that ski season is starting and everyone will trade home tours for fresh powder. If you want to add or update details to reschedule an open house event, expect to pay around $25 to $50 to your Colorado Flat Fee MLS listing service.
• Description Update Fees—$20 to $40: You said your kitchen was ‘updated,’ but now you realize it's more like ‘we added a new faucet to an ancient sink.’ It's time for a description update—but you can’t do it for free with some Colorado Flat Fee MLS listing services. You’ll have to spend $20 to $40 for each update.
