Flat fee MLS listing in Southgate, Michigan
Sell in Southgate for a flat package fee rather than a percentage listing commission, choosing how much of the transaction we handle.
The Southgate market
Southgate sits in the middle of Downriver along Fort Street and Northline, with retail and the hospital corridor close at hand.
The housing is mostly 1950s through 1970s ranches and colonials on regular lots. It is a steady, mid-band Downriver market where a well-presented house moves and an average one waits.
Before you can close in Southgate
Southgate requires a Certificate of Compliance before a home changes hands.
- The exterior of every residential dwelling is inspected before the sale.
- The certificate covers one sale. A new inspection is needed each time the home is sold or transferred.
- The inspection fee is $200, and $60 for each additional inspection.
- You can correct what the inspector writes up, or sell as is with the buyer signing an affidavit accepting the open items.
- Have the certificate, or the buyer's signed affidavit, in hand before the closing is scheduled.

What you save on a Southgate 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.
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 Southgate
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.
Southgate is part of Wayne County, and our pricing does not change from one community in it to the next.
