FLAT FEE MLS North Carolina

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 North Carolina 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 North Carolina 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. You’ll be forced to pay a “Coordination” fee if you select your option. 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 basically paying for the privilege of not using the title company your Flat Fee North Carolina MLS company suggested. When you pick your own title company, your Flat Fee company has to coordinate well with that title company. Think of it like trusting your buddy to “fix” something on your truck, then having to take it to an actual mechanic to fix what he broke.
• Cancellation or Listing Removal Fees—$50 to $100: It’s like buying concert tickets for a band you love, only to show up and realize they’re lip-syncing. Most Flat Fee MLS North Carolina 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: You listed your place as ‘prime real estate,’ but your photos are so dark it looks like you're selling a house in a Carolina cave. To glow up your listing by adding or swapping out professional photos, you will have to spend $25 to $75 in North Carolina. The fees depend on how many photos you need to upload.
• Listing Price Update—$25 to $50:You listed your home like it was a gem, but the market's treating it like just another fixer-upper in the Triangle. Adjusting the price will cost you $25 to $50 each time. With a few tweaks, you’re spending the equivalent of 2-4 iced sweet teas from Bojangles. Not much of a consolation when the reality is setting in.
• Feature Changes—$20 to $50: You thought it was ‘cozy,’ but it’s more like being trapped in a damp, drafty cabin with a view of Carolina’s mist. A feature change is overdue—because 'cozy' shouldn't mean 'miserable and humid’. A Flat Fee MLS North Carolina provider will charge you $20 to $50 per feature change.
• Addendum Fees—$25 to $50: Told ‘em your place was “move-in ready,” but it turns out the only thing “ready” is the electrical system to short-circuit when the fridge kicks on. Now you’ve gotta update that listing. 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 planned your open house for Saturday, but it’s the BBQ festival in Raleigh. No one’s showing up when they’re too busy devouring pulled pork and hunting for the best cornbread. If you want to add or update details about an open house event, expect to pay around $25 to $50 to your North Carolina Flat Fee MLS listing service.
• Description Update Fees—$20 to $40: You promised “breathtaking views of the Blue Ridge,” but the only breathtaking part is the 100% humidity and the pile of pine needles in your yard. It's time for a price adjustment—but you can’t do it for free with some North Carolina Flat Fee MLS listing services. You’ll have to spend $20 to $40 for each update.
