FLAT FEE MLS Alaska

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 Alaska 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 Alaska 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 Alaska 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 like making sure your Northern Lights tour doesn’t get rained out.
• Cancellation or Listing Removal Fees—$50 to $100: Your Alaska listing was like booking a Denali tour—you thought it’d be epic, but now you’ve to cancel it because of bad weather. Most Flat Fee MLS Alaska 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: You thought the Alaskan mountain view from your living room was the perfect shot, but now it just looks like ice fog. To glow up your listing by adding or swapping out professional photos, you will have to spend $25 to $75 in Alaska. The fees depend on how many photos you need to upload.
• Listing Price Update—$25 to $50: You listed your home as the neighborhood's crown jewel, but then the market decided to give you a reality check. Alaska 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 ditched the carpet for beautiful hardwood floors, but your listing still mentions ‘carpeted’? That’s like calling the Northern Lights ‘some fancy light show.’ Need an update? A Flat Fee MLS Alaska provider will charge you $20 to $50 per feature change.
• Addendum Fees—$25 to $50: You listed your Alaska home like it’s built to last, but now your foundation’s dropping faster than the Fairbanks gas prices in the off-season. 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: Your open house was set—until Anchorage threw a last-minute sled dog race. Good luck competing with that. You know it’s time to reschedule. Be ready to pay around $25 to $50 to your Alaska Flat Fee MLS listing service.
• Description Update Fees—$20 to $40: You thought your Alaska house was ‘move-in ready,’ but now you’re just hoping the foundation doesn’t collapse under the weight of that description. Need to change it? but you can’t do it for free with some Alaska Flat Fee MLS listing services. You’ll have to spend $20 to $40 for each update.
