- The comparison assumes a listing agent charging 3% of the sale price. That is an assumption we use for comparison, not a rate any brokerage is required to charge. Compensation is negotiable and is not set by law, so another brokerage may quote you more or less.
- Our figure is the published MLS Listing package: $599 in total, which does not change with your sale price.
- The last figure is the first minus the second. Both are listing side only, and neither includes anything you choose to offer a buyer’s agent, add-ons, or closing costs.
Flat fee MLS listings across Michigan
Your home is entered on the MLS exactly the way any other brokerage would enter it, and it syndicates out to Zillow, Realtor.com and the rest through the same feed. Buyer's agents see no difference when your listing comes up in their search.
What changes is what you pay. Comparisons on this site assume a listing side charge of 3% of the sale price. That is an illustration, not a rate any brokerage is required to charge, and what another brokerage would quote you is negotiable. On a $275,000 house that assumption works out at $8,250. Our MLS Listing package is $599 on any sale price. See the side-by-side comparison.
Your listing is entered and maintained for you, and you choose how much of the sale you hand over. On MLS Listing you run the offers and the closing yourself. Offer Support puts a licensee on every offer. Full Service negotiates for you and stays with the file to the closing table.
Listing packages
Three service levels. Every one puts your property on the same MLS local agents use. What changes is how much of the offer and closing work we take on. We are a virtual agent service. Everything, including the representation on Full Service, is handled by phone, email and video. We attend the property only if you book the in-person visit. Compare all three, line by line.

Package prices exclude any add-ons, which increase the total you pay. Where a package has an amount due at closing, it is payable only if the property sells. Commissions and fees are not set by law and are fully negotiable. Any concession you offer a buyer’s agent is separate and negotiated as part of the purchase agreement. Cancel any package in writing before you accept an offer.

Listing side only. Any concession you offer a buyer’s agent is negotiated separately and costs the same either way.
How the listing process works
- Choose a package and any add-ons. You pay the package fee when you start. It is refundable in full until your listing goes on the MLS. Where a package has an amount due at closing, that is payable only if the property sells.
- Complete the property questionnaire. Room dimensions, taxes, utilities, inclusions and exclusions. It saves as you go, so you can finish it in more than one sitting.
- Upload your photographs, or we schedule the photographer if your package includes one.
- Review and sign. Listing agreement, seller's disclosure statement and lead-based paint disclosure where the home was built before 1978. All signed electronically.
- Broker review and MLS entry. The broker checks the data for accuracy and enters the listing, as soon as 48 hours from receiving complete paperwork and photographs. Same-day entry is available as an add-on.
- Showings begin. Showings are scheduled through ShowingTime. On MLS Listing and Offer Support you manage them yourself. On Full Service we coordinate them for you.
- Offers and closing. Who receives offers, who explains them, who negotiates and who drives the transaction to closing all depend on the package you chose.
