Flat fee MLS listing in Flat Rock, Michigan

Sell in Flat Rock for a flat package fee rather than a percentage listing commission, choosing how much of the transaction we handle.

Selling where lots run larger in Flat Rock

Lots here are often bigger than the Downriver average, and a listing that only photographs the interior is selling half the property.

Before you can close in Flat Rock

Flat Rock inspects every home before it is resold.

  • The seller files a Residential Resale Inspection Application to get the Certificate of Occupancy.
  • A follow-up inspection is included. Once the violations are corrected, the certificate is issued.
  • Repairs can be passed to the buyer instead: both sides sign an Affidavit to Assume Repairs before closing, with a Temporary Certificate of Occupancy, and the new owner has three months to finish them.
  • Anything marked LS on the report is a life-safety item and has to be fixed before anyone occupies the home.

Straight from the city: City of Flat Rock, certificate of occupancy for resale. Requirements change, so confirm anything that affects your closing date with them directly.

What you save on a Flat Rock sale

Four example prices, using our MLS Listing package at $599. Your own number is the one that matters, and the calculator will do it.

Sale priceAssumed 3% listing sideOffer SupportYou save
$200,000$6,000$1,799$4,201
$300,000$9,000$2,299$6,701

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 Flat Rock

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.

How it works, step by step, or the side-by-side comparison.

Shares are of the area of Flat Rock, not of its homes, so check the address above before you rely on one. Boundaries from the U.S. Census Bureau.

Flat Rock is part of Wayne County, and our pricing does not change from one community in it to the next.

Common questions

Does a pole barn or garage add value?
To the right buyer, meaningfully. It needs proper photographs rather than a passing mention.
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.
