Flat fee MLS listing in Ann Arbor, Michigan
Sell in Ann Arbor for a flat package fee rather than a percentage listing commission, choosing how much of the transaction we handle.
The Ann Arbor market
Ann Arbor is driven by the University of Michigan and the medical campus, which gives it a buyer pool that arrives from outside Michigan every year on an academic calendar. Downtown, Kerrytown and the older residential neighborhoods around them command prices unlike anywhere else in the region.
The stock ranges from preserved nineteenth-century and early-century homes near the center to mid-century and newer housing further out, and inventory is persistently tight.
Which school district is this property in?
School district boundaries do not follow city boundaries, so an address in Ann Arbor 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.

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.
Straight from the county: Washtenaw County, time of sale program. Requirements change, so confirm anything that affects your closing date with them directly.

What you get for the fee in Ann Arbor
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.
