Selling a home in Inkster

Inkster sits between Dearborn Heights and Westland along Michigan Avenue, and is split across more than one school district. It is one of the more affordable detached-housing markets in the county.

Before you can close in Inkster

Inkster requires a certificate of occupancy before a new occupant moves in, and the seller obtains it.

  • The seller is responsible for obtaining the certificate before the purchase closes.
  • The city inspects, and violations have six months from the first inspection to be corrected.
  • Occupying a dwelling without the certificate is a violation of the ordinance.

Straight from the city: City of Inkster, certificate of occupancy. 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 Inkster

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

Why does the district matter so much here?
Because the city is served by several, so two similar houses can carry different school assignments and different buyer interest.
What happens if I change my mind partway through?
You can withdraw the listing in writing at any point before you accept an offer. Anything due at closing is tied to a closing, so if there is no sale there is none to pay. The package fee is refundable in full until the listing goes on the MLS.
How quickly can you get it on the MLS?
As soon as two business days once the paperwork is signed and the photographs are in. Booking professional photography adds to that. If you need it live the same day and the file is complete, that is a $99 add-on.
