Flat fee MLS listing in Manchester, Michigan

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

The Manchester market

Manchester is a village in the rural southwest of the county, on the River Raisin and surrounded by farmland.

The stock is older village housing plus farm property and newer builds on acreage outside it. Inventory is thin enough that pricing draws on a wide radius, and land quality matters as much as the house.

Well and septic in Washtenaw County

If the home is on a well or a septic system, Washtenaw County has to authorize the transfer.

  • The regulation is blunt: there is no sale, transfer or conveyance of a parcel with an onsite water and sewage system until the county says so.
  • The seller files an evaluation report by a county certified inspector, and the county has to find the system acceptable, or the repairs done or assured.
  • It applies unless the system was certified in the twelve months before the transfer.
  • A short list of transfers is exempt, including a transfer between spouses, a foreclosure, and a home built in the previous two years.

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 Manchester

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.

Which school district is this property in?

School district boundaries do not follow city boundaries, so an address in Manchester is not necessarily in the district the city is named after. Enter the address and we will tell you which district the parcel sits in, and link you to that district directly.

Common questions

How should the listing handle the distance?
Head on. The listing should be specific about the land and the village rather than quiet about the drive, because a vague listing invites the question instead of answering it.
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.
