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.

Selling a smaller home or a condo in Royal Oak

Smaller homes and condos sell on different signals than larger houses. Photography matters more, square footage matters less, and association paperwork can hold up a closing if nobody chases it.

What you get for the fee in Royal Oak

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.

Royal Oak is part of Oakland County, and our pricing does not change from one community in it to the next.

Common questions

Do I need professional photography for a small house?
It matters more, not less. A smaller home has fewer rooms to carry the listing, so the ones you show have to be shown well.
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.
