FLAT FEE MLS Montana

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 Montana companies claim to list your home on the market for $99 or lower. The appeal is real, but your savings will not 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 Montana 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 Montana 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 deciding to rope your own cattle but still handing over a tip to the rancher for pretending to care about your ‘real work.’
• Cancellation or Listing Removal Fees—$50 to $100: You thought your listing would sell like a fresh Montana snowstorm, but the offers are so low it’s like selling your house for a bag of chips. If you decide to take your listing down early or cancel it, most Flat Fee MLS Montana services will charge a removal fee. Depending on the company's policy, this can range from $50 to $100 or more.
• Photo Update Fees—$25 to $75: That ‘living room from a different angle’ photo makes it look like you have more ‘closet space’ than ‘actual living space.’ In Montana, you will have to spend $25 to $75 to upgrade your listing by adding or swapping out professional photos. The fees depend on how many photos you need to upload.
• Listing Price Update—$25 to $50: Oh, you thought buyers had all the cash in the world? Surprise—interest rates just hit them like a cold gust of wind off the Rockies. Montana 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: That ‘large living room’ you called ‘great for hosting guests’ is more like ‘just enough room for a couple of chairs and a coffee table.’ So, if you need to adjust the listing to reflect the actual size, a Flat Fee MLS Montana provider will charge you $20 to $50 per feature change.
• Addendum Fees—$25 to $50: You listed your home as ‘roof in great condition,’ but now you realize it’s more like a leaky mess waiting to happen. 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 had everything ready for the open house until a Montana wildfire decided it was the perfect time to join the party. If you want to add or update details to reschedule an open house event, expect to pay around $25 to $50 to your Montana Flat Fee MLS listing service.
• Description Update Fees—$20 to $40: You called it a ‘spacious attic.’ Turns out, it’s just a crawl space for your holiday decorations. It's time for a description update, but you can’t do it for free with some Montana Flat Fee MLS listing services. You’ll have to spend $20 to $40 for each update.
