FLAT FEE MLS Massachusetts

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 Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts 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 Massachusetts 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 paying for a Harvard degree—worth it for the prestige, but it comes at a price.
• Cancellation or Listing Removal Fees—$50 to $100: You thought your Massachusetts listing was your dream sale, but now it’s like ditching Fenway Park in the middle of the game. Sure, you didn’t want to sit through the losing streak but now you are paying for leaving early. Most Flat Fee MLS Massachusetts 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 focused too much on the kitchen and forgot to show that Boston Common view. To glow up your listing by adding or swapping out professional photos, you will have to spend $25 to $75 in Massachusetts. The fees depend on how many photos you need to upload.
• Listing Price Update—$25 to $50: You priced your Massachusetts house like it was Beacon Hill luxury, but the market’s saying, ‘Try again, pal.’ Massachusetts 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• Feature Changes—$20 to $50: Installed brand-new countertops, but your listing still says ‘outdated’? That’s like saying a Boston cream donut’s ‘just a pastry.’ Want to fix it? A Flat Fee MLS Massachusetts provider will charge you $20 to $50 per feature change.
• Addendum Fees—$25 to $50: You listed your Massachusetts home as ‘move-in ready,’ but now your foundation feels like it’s about to collapse like the Southie rent prices. 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 thought your open house was all set for the weekend, but then you found out that a pipe burst in the bathroom and now your kitchen’s flooded. Need to reschedule? Expect to pay around $25 to $50 to your Massachusetts Flat Fee MLS listing service.
• Description Update Fees—$20 to $40: You said your Massachusetts house had ‘high ceilings,’ but now you're wondering if it's just a low floor with ambition. Need a description change? But you can’t do it for free with some Massachusetts Flat Fee MLS listing services. You’ll have to spend $20 to $40 for each update.
