FLAT FEE MLS Virginia

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 Virginia companies claim to list your home on the market for $99 or lower. The appeal is real, but your savings won’t 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 Virginia 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 Virginia 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 as paying an extra $50 for a detour through Virginia’s backstreets when all you really wanted was the express lane.
• Cancellation or Listing Removal Fees—$50 to $100: You thought your listing was a perfect fit, but now it's like a bad date on a sunny day—you’re just sitting there wishing it would end. Canceling early? Most Flat Fee MLS Virginia 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 thought the photos were perfect, but you missed the chance to showcase that gorgeous Virginia sunset. To glow up your listing by adding or swapping out professional photos, you will have to spend $25 to $75 in Virginia. The fees depend on how many photos you need to upload.
• Listing Price Update—$25 to $50: Your house had that perfect 'mountain retreat' feel, but then Virginia’s unpredictable market threw a curveball, and now you’re adjusting the price. Depending on the provider, this fee can range from $25 to $50 per change.
• Feature Changes—$20 to $50: You thought your 2,000 sq ft house was a hot listing—now it feels like trying to find parking in Tysons Corner on a Saturday. Want to tweak those features? Virginia's Flat Fee MLS providers will charge you $20 to $50 per change—like paying surge pricing just to cross the Beltway at rush hour.
• Addendum Fees—$25 to $50: You thought your home had ‘charming antique floors,’ but now you realize they’re just cracked tiles from the 60s. 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: Decided to schedule your open house for Saturday, but then you realized your listing agent didn’t lock up after the last showing, and now the house is a mess. Need to reschedule? Expect to pay around $25 to $50 to your Virginia Flat Fee MLS listing service.
• Description Update Fees—$20 to $40: You listed your house as having ‘high ceilings’ but now you realize it’s more like ‘ceiling that’s high enough for an average person to stand.’ Need a description change? but you can’t do it for free with some Virginia Flat Fee MLS listing services. You’ll have to spend $20 to $40 for each update.
