Flat Fee MLS Listing in Northern Michigan (NGLRMLS / Traverse City)
I'm Jeff Kermath, broker / owner of Kermath Realty LLC. I’ve been a licensed Michigan broker for 30 years. My broker license #650533406. Verify my license with Michigan here. I personally input my listings and do NOT hand this off to a third party. This way I get a feel for your home and get to know it.
Better service = better results and happier sellers.
I am NOT a third party referral service like many you see on the internet. I am the direct MLS listing broker. You'll find I'm around almost all hours of the day or night to help with advice, changes, or anything else you may need. I provide FULL Realtor services too for a fraction of the cost. Check my programs. I offer limited service or full service, just like a traditional Realtor. The choice is yours.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I list my northern Michigan home on NGLRMLS for a flat fee?
Yes. I input the listing on NGLRMLS — the same system Traverse City, Cheboygan basically across northern Michigan, and Mt. Pleasant agents use.
Is this different from a traditional Traverse City listing agent?
NO. It is the same listing you’d get with a traditional Realtor.
You’ll save thousands of your equity. You get the same MLS exposure and nationwide syndication, but you pay a flat fee instead of a percentage listing commission. You can still sell by owner and avoid a buyer’s agent commission. If a buyer’s agent brings the buyer, they will expect compensation, usually 2–3%, negotiated when the offer comes in.
How fast does the listing go live?
Most listings are input and live on NGLRMLS within 24 hours after we receive your paperwork and photos.
Does the listing show up on Zillow and Realtor.com?
Yes. NGLRMLS listings syndicate to Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, Redfin, and many other major sites.
What about signs, lockboxes, and showings?
We mail the sign and lockbox right after you sign up. Our sign is designed to route for-sale-by-owner leads to you with the QR code on the sign. As possible fsbo buyers scan the qr code it goes to www.showmylisting.com they can easily search, find and contract you direct.
