A traditional listing agent charges 3% commission for listing your home on the MLS. If your home is priced at the median $396,173, you will have to pay $11,885 as commission for an MLS listing and agent guidance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the other hand, with Houzeo&#8217;s comprehensive Gold package, which is most suitable for most sellers, you have to pay only  as the listing.

There&#8217;s no cancellation fee in most states. The only exception is Georgia, where a $25 cancellation fee is charged due to local MLS rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, if you have a pending contract with a cooperating broker&#8217;s buyer, you cannot cancel the listing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To reinstate a cancelled MLS listing within the term of the listing agreement, you must pay a reinstatement fee.
