FLAT FEE MLS Connecticut

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 Connecticut 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 Connecticut 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 for the extra napkin at the BBQ. Sure, you didn’t need it, but it can save you from a mess later.
• Coordination Fee—$50 to $200: You’re paying for the privilege of not using the title company your Flat Fee Connecticut 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 the extra napkin at the BBQ. Sure, you didn’t need it, but it can save you from a mess later.
• Cancellation or Listing Removal Fees—$50 to $100: Thought your house would sell faster than a train to NYC? Now you’re taking it off the market early, most Flat Fee MLS Connecticut 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: Oh, you thought your ‘artsy’ kitchen shot would wow everyone? Well, now it looks like you live in a cupboard. To glow up your listing by adding or swapping out professional photos, you will have to spend $25 to $75 in Connecticut. The fees depend on how many photos you need to upload.
• Listing Price Update—$25 to $50: You thought your listing would fly off the market like a Westport beach house, but now buyers aren’t biting. Maybe because of the drop in demand. Want to adjust the price? Connecticut 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 Connecticut provider will charge you $20 to $50 per feature change.
• Addendum Fees—$25 to $50: You called your place 'move-in ready,' but a closer look shows the electrical's got more surprises than a mystery grab bag. 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: Your open house was set for Saturday, but then your ‘move-in ready’ house has to compete with Yale’s homecoming. If you want to add or update details to reschedule an open house event, expect to pay around $25 to $50 to your Connecticut Flat Fee MLS listing service.
• Description Update Fees—$20 to $40: You said it had a ‘private backyard,’ but now you realize that ‘private’ means ‘the neighbors can still see you through the holes in your fence.’ It's time for a description update—but you can’t do it for free with some Connecticut Flat Fee MLS listing services. You’ll have to spend $20 to $40 for each update.
