FLAT FEE MLS Oregon

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 Oregon 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 Oregon 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 Oregon 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 to hike the Columbia River Gorge on your own, but they still want a tip for the view.
• Cancellation or Listing Removal Fees—$50 to $100: Listing your house was supposed to be as smooth as the Willamette River, right? But now, it feels like you're stuck in a muddy marsh. If you decide to cancel, most Flat Fee MLS Oregon 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 listing photos looked good in your head, but now they look like they belong on a low-budget indie film. To glow up your listing by adding or swapping out professional photos, you will have to spend $25 to $75 in Oregon. The fees depend on how many photos you need to upload.
• Listing Price Update—$25 to $50: You thought your Oregon listing was the dream deal, but now it feels like it’s stuck on a foggy day in the Willamette Valley. Oregon 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 marketed it as ‘close to downtown Portland,’ but now it feels more like 'close—if you have a helicopter.' A Flat Fee MLS Oregon provider will charge you $20 to $50 per feature change.
• Addendum Fees—$25 to $50: You listed your house as ‘move-in ready,’ but now you’re realizing ‘move-in ready’ means ‘get ready to fix the plumbing immediately.’ Need to update that MLS? 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: Oh, perfect timing! Your open house is clashing with the Oregon State Fair. No one’s going to show up. If you want to add or update details to reschedule an open house event, expect to pay around $25 to $50 to your Oregon Flat Fee MLS listing service.
• Description Update Fees—$20 to $40: You said your house had ‘stunning views,’ but now it’s more ‘views if you count the neighbor’s shed.’ Need a description change? but you can’t do it for free with some Oregon Flat Fee MLS listing services. You’ll have to spend $20 to $40 for each update.
