FLAT FEE MLS Alabama

Hidden Fees? Not with Houzeo

Houzeo doesn’t believe in hidden fees and discloses all the costs upfront. Transparency is in our DNA. Several Flat Fee MLS Alabama companies claim to list your home on the market for $99 or lower. The appeal is real, but your savings won’t last long. You may have to pay for every little change you need to make to your listing. A few sneaky fees might pop up when you’re at the closing table. Always read the terms and conditions page of the Alabama Flat Fee MLS service you choose.

Here’s a rundown of some things you might end up paying for:

• Title Company Referral Fee—$50 to $200: Companies like Flat Fee MLS Realty and several others get a referral fee from title companies. This fee is from the monies you pay. If you select your option, you’ll be forced to pay a “Coordination” fee. It’s like paying a “convenience fee” for not using the free ATM. There are several other junk fees associated with choosing your own title service.
• Coordination Fee—$50 to $200: You’re paying for the privilege of not using the title company your Flat Fee Alabama MLS company suggested. When you pick your own title company, your Flat Fee company has to coordinate well with that title company. It's like paying for front-row seats—sure, you could sit in the back, but why miss out on the best view?
• Cancellation or Listing Removal Fees—$50 to $100: You thought this was your dream sale, now it’s like leaving a country concert before the headliner hits the stage. If you decide to take your listing down early or cancel it, most Flat Fee MLS Alabama services will charge a removal fee. Depending on the company's policy, this can range from $50 to $100 or more.
• Photo Updates Fees—$25 to $75: Those photos you posted might’ve been good enough for your personal Instagram, but they're not selling your home. To glow up your listing by adding or swapping out professional photos, you will have to spend $25 to $75 in Alabama. The fees depend on how many photos you need to upload.
• Listing Price Update—$25 to $50: You priced your home like a top-tier property in Alabama, but now the market’s not playing along. Maybe it’s that lower-priced listing that just popped up. Alabama Flat Fee Services will charge you a fee if you need to adjust the asking price after it’s live. Depending on the provider, this fee can range from $25 to $50 per change.
• Feature Changes—$20 to $50: You advertised your house like it’s the best thing since sliced cheese, but after a quick measurement, it’s a little less impressive. A Flat Fee MLS Alabama provider will charge you $20 to $50 per feature change.
• Addendum Fees—$25 to $50: You thought you could sell your house with ‘pristine’ hardwood floors, but now you’re realizing they’re more like ‘slippery death traps.’ Expect to pay between $25 to $50 for adding disclosures, inspection reports, or other docs to your listing after it’s posted on the MLS (per document).
• Open House Updates—$25 to $50: You thought your open house in Alabama was set, but then you realized it was the Iron Bowl weekend. If you want to add or update details to reschedule an open house event, expect to pay around $25 to $50 to your Alabama Flat Fee MLS listing service.
• Description Update Fees—$20 to $40: You called the kitchen ‘rustic,’ but now you’re realizing it’s more like ‘retro, but not in a cool way.’ It's time for a description update—but you can’t do it for free with some Alabama Flat Fee MLS listing services. You’ll have to spend $20 to $40 for each update.
