Flat fee MLS listing in Allen Park, Michigan

Sell your Allen Park home with the MLS exposure a percentage listing commission buys, for a flat package fee.

Allen Park in brief

Allen Park sits at the top of Downriver next to Dearborn, with I-94 and the Southfield Freeway on its edges. It has a reputation for tidy, well-kept residential streets and a short commute in almost every direction.

Most of the housing is 1950s and 1960s brick ranches and colonials, consistently maintained and rarely dramatically altered.

Before you can close in Allen Park

Allen Park requires a Certificate of Occupancy before a home sale closes.

  • It applies to residential dwellings listed for sale from 1 March 2022, under Ordinance 04-2019.
  • The Building Department inspects the inside of the home and the outside of the property. The $175 fee covers the first inspection and the final one.
  • You can correct the items, or sell as is: the buyer signs an affidavit taking on the violations and puts at least $500 in escrow, 10% of it non-refundable.
  • A home listed before 1 March 2022 is exempt.

Straight from the city: City of Allen Park, residential sales inspection. Requirements change, so confirm anything that affects your closing date with them directly.

The comparison column assumes a listing side charge of 3% of the sale price. It is an illustration for comparison, not a rate any brokerage is required to charge; real estate compensation is negotiable and another brokerage may quote you more or less.

Add-ons such as photography, signage and a lockbox are separate and are listed on the add-ons page.

What you get for the fee in Allen Park

Most people who search for a flat fee listing are trying to do one thing: stop paying a percentage of their own equity to the listing side. The usual way to do that is an entry-only service, where your home goes on the MLS and everything after that is yours to handle.

That is not this. The fee is flat, and how much of the transaction we handle is the package you choose.

Common questions

How accurate can a price estimate be here?
More accurate than most markets. The housing stock is consistent enough that recent sales genuinely predict yours.
Do I owe anything if the house does not sell?
No. Anything due at closing is charged on a closing and nowhere else. A listing that expires without a sale costs you the package fee and nothing further.
What is the turnaround from signing to live listing?
As soon as 48 hours in the ordinary case. The two things that hold it up are missing signatures and photography, so having both ready is what makes it fast. If we are shooting the property, allow time for that.
