MLS - Flat Fee MLS Petoskey | Emmet Harbor Springs Charlevoix

Flat Fee MLS Listing in Petoskey & Emmet County (Northern Michigan MLS)

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.

Petoskey, Harbor Springs, and Emmet County agents work off the northern Michigan MLS used by the Emmet Association of REALTORS. I list the home so those local agents see it — not a referral to someone you have never met. One-time flat fee. No 5–6% listing commission.

Your listing syndicates to Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, Redfin, and hundreds of other sites. Coverage includes Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Alanson, Pellston, Mackinaw City, Charlevoix, Boyne City, East Jordan, Cheboygan, Indian River, and the rest of Emmet, Charlevoix, and Cheboygan Counties.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I list a Petoskey or Harbor Springs home for a flat fee?
Yes. I input it on the northern Michigan MLS so Emmet and Charlevoix agents see a normal listing.

Is this different from a traditional Petoskey listing agent?
No. I give you the same, great MLS listing as a traditional Realtor.  You’ll save thousands of your equity. Same MLS exposure and nationwide syndication, flat fee instead of a percentage listing commission. You can still sell by owner. If a buyer’s agent brings the buyer, they will usually want 2–3%, negotiated when the offer comes in.

How fast does the listing go live?
Most listings are live within 24 hours after we receive your paperwork and photos.

Does it show up on Zillow and Realtor.com?
Yes.

What about signs, lockboxes, and showings?
We mail the sign and lockbox after you sign up. The QR code on the sign sends FSBO calls to you.
