Direct Local MLS Listing on UPMLS (Upper Peninsula Association of Realtors) — Never a National Referral Middleman

Upper Peninsula Association of Realtors UPMLS Direct Member

When selling in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, your property must be listed on UPMLS (upmls.com) — the official Multiple Listing Service of the Upper Peninsula Association of REALTORS® (UPAR) in Marquette. If an out-of-state discount site or downstate-only broker puts your U.P. property on an eastern or southern Michigan board, local agents in Marquette, Escanaba, Houghton, Sault Ste. Marie, Iron Mountain, and Munising will never see it in their daily UPMLS searches.

Jeff Kermath (Kermath Realty LLC) is one of the only flat fee MLS brokers in Michigan who is a direct member of the Upper Peninsula Board of Realtors. Your order stays right here with our family-owned Michigan brokerage (BBB A+ Accredited since 2005, 6,654+ listings statewide), and Jeff personally inputs your listing directly onto UPMLS within 24 hours.

Why Direct Membership in UPMLS (Upper Peninsula Association of Realtors) Matters vs. Referral Sites

Direct Member of the Upper Peninsula Association of Realtors® (UPAR / UPMLS): Broker/Owner Jeff Kermath (Michigan License #6502334057, verifiable at LARA) is a direct member of UPAR in Marquette. We enter your listing directly into UPMLS (upmls.com) — the exact native MLS database searched every day by Realtors across all 15 U.P. counties and bordering Northern Wisconsin counties.
Why National Referral Sites & Downstate-Only Brokers Fail in the U.P.: Out-of-state referral sites like Houzeo, Homecoin, or Congress Realty are NOT Upper Peninsula brokers — they charge you up front plus 0.5%–1.25% closing fees and either try to refer your file out or place it on a downstate Detroit MLS that Marquette, Escanaba, Houghton, and Sault Ste. Marie agents never check. With Flat Fee Michigan / Kermath Realty LLC, your listing stays in-house with a direct UPMLS member broker.
Maximum Exposure for U.P. Waterfront, Camps, Hunting Land & Homes: Your UPMLS listing automatically syndicates to Realtor.com, Zillow's main Agent Listings tab, Homes.com, Redfin, and local U.P. brokerage IDX feeds, reaching both local Upper Peninsula buyers and out-of-area buyers from Downstate Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Minnesota.
QR Code Yard Sign & Lockbox Shipped Straight to Your U.P. Property: Whether your property is in Marquette, Copper Harbor, Drummond Island, or Ironwood, we ship your sign and lockbox immediately. When drive-by or seasonal buyers scan your sign's QR code via ShowMyListing.com, their inquiry goes straight to you so you can sell by owner and pay $0 buyer-agent commission!
