How Flat Fee MLS Listings in Michigan Works

Listing your property with Kermath Realty / Flat Fee Michigan is easy, simple, and straightforward. To get started, simply choose a listing package that best suits your needs. Next, proceed to our secure order page and complete your transaction using a credit card. Once your payment is processed, you'll receive digital documents to complete, which typically takes just 20 minutes of your time. Lastly, email us high-quality photos of your property to showcase its best features. Once we have your documents; listing agreement, sellers disclosures, lead based paint (provided) and the datasheet giving us the info on your home and photos we login as the broker / member of the MLS & input your listing. We have you listed generally within 24 hours.

Sellers doing Flat Fee MLS Listings are still required to sign a listing agreement. However, with the recent NAR lawsuit the commission cannot be in the listing agreement or the MLS listing like before. Commission by law is negotiable. Prior to showing your home, agents typically will call / text us to ask, "What is the compensation being offered"? So, prior to going live with our flat fee mls listing, we discuss what you're willing to offer as a seller. So, consider offering 2-3% to a buyer's agent. Our program saves you money but we don't want agents avoiding us. We want this to work.

With Flat Fee MLS Listings a home seller has choices as far as the "Level of Service". This means the seller is not obligated to have the listing agent (Flat Fee MLS Listing Broker) provide all of the services a "Traditional" agent does. This saves the home seller a considerate amount of money.

We do offer "Full Service" for the sellers who desire that level of service. Full Service means offers are emailed to not only the seller but us too as the listing agent. We help the seller negotiate to get top dollar, help with inspection, pre-approval, title insurance and appraisal. So, utilizing full service with a Flat Fee MLS Listing gives the home seller the same great service a traditional agent does for a fraction of the cost!

The main differences flat fee MLS listing and traditional services, flat fee allows the seller to sell as a for sale by owner FSBO and not pay a commission. With traditional commissioned real estate agents, if you sell your own property, you will own the agent a high commission. Flat fee listing allows the customer to sell as a FSBO and with an agent, having the best of both worlds.

To summarize, a Flat Fee MLS Listing gives a home seller the same, great exposure as if listed by any local, top producing agent. The seller has For Sale By Owner privileges with all of the benefits of being listed in the local MLS.

More about Flat Fee MLS Referral Companies

When searching for a reliable real estate partner, it's essential to avoid "Referral Companies" that often generate a litany of complaints, issues, and poor service. As Michigan's #1 Flat Fee MLS Direct & Local Listing service, we are THE member of the local MLS that input and oversee your listing. These other "Flat Fee Referral Companies" are not licensed real estate companies. It's a war fighting these referral companies with their deep pockets and huge programming budgets attempting to sway you, the consumer / home seller to list with them.

As a licensed Realtor, we must first understand that you cannot do a Flat Fee MLS Listing without a Realtor. That Realtor or licesned real estate company must me a member of the local MLS board to actually input your listing into the MLS. All of the companies listed here ARE NOT Realtors but also represent that they can provide advise or assistance to sellers. NOTE: You must be a licensed real estate agent to provide assistance or help with home sellers in our state.

Many of these companies represent they can help you... They cannot. They tend to have great programming and not only take your buyer leads but attempt to run your listing, leads, showings, offers and anything else through your site. Attempting to run things through their site is the worst way to do things. Realtors tend to avoid doing things the difficult way, going through these "Referral sites"...

Reasons why you should not list with referral companies:

They are not real estate companies.
They are not the member of the mls to input your listing.
They will capture any for sale by owner lead and sell it for profit.
They make it very hard for agents to show your home.
They are control freaks trying to be the new standard and platform running everything through their site.
They only care about profit, not you nor the success of your home sale.
They can not offer advise or help with the sale of your property.
They are NOT licensed, therefore it is illegal for them to offer advise.

Reasons why you SHOULD list with us:

We are the licensed Realtor that will get you into the MLS.
We are the MLS members.
We provide amazing service (helps increase the odds of a successful sale).
We can provide full Realtor services helping from start to finish.
We want 1000% satisfaction so you refer us to everyone you know.
