FLAT FEE MLS Ohio

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 Ohio 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 Ohio 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 Ohio MLS company suggested. When you pick your own title company, your Flat Fee company has to coordinate well with that title company. Think of it as paying an extra toll on the Ohio Turnpike. It's frustrating, but it keeps things moving forward.
• Cancellation or Listing Removal Fees—$50 to $100: You thought your sale was cruising to the finish line—now it feels like Ohio State’s crushed championship dreams. Want to cancel the listing early? Expect to fork out $50 to $200, just like paying for gas and snacks for a trip that never even gets started.
• Photo Updates Fees—$25 to $75: You took great photos of the interior, but you didn’t capture the spacious Ohio front yard that could’ve sold your house. To glow up your listing by adding or swapping out professional photos, you will have to spend $25 to $75 in Ohio. The fees depend on how many photos you need to upload.
• Listing Price Update—$25 to $50: You had it in your head that the place was priced just right, but then your neighbor decided to start a backyard farm, and now the ‘country charm’ is hitting a little too close to home. Need to adjust your price? Be ready to fork out $50 to $200.
• Feature Changes—$20 to $50: You thought your home was huge, but now it’s shrinking faster than your confidence after seeing your neighbor’s new addition. A Flat Fee MLS Ohio provider will charge you $20 to $50 per feature change.
• Addendum Fees—$25 to $50: You mentioned luxury cabins, but now it’s more like a shack with questionable wiring and a clogged toilet. Now, you need to disclose this to future buyers to avoid a shock—literally. 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: Decided to schedule an open house for Saturday? Who knew your HVAC system would break down, leaving the house at a toasty 85 degrees in the middle of an Ohio heatwave? If you want to add or update details to reschedule an open house event, expect to pay around $25 to $50 to your Ohio Flat Fee MLS listing service.
• Description Update Fees—$20 to $40: Did you think your backyard was big enough to host BBQs? It’s actually just a tiny patch of grass, barely big enough for a lawn chair. It's time for a description update, but you can’t do it for free with some Ohio Flat Fee MLS listing services. You’ll have to spend $20 to $40 for each update.
