Which flat fee MLS companies charge a fee at closing?
In Clever's Michigan listings, Houzeo, List With Freedom, Buy Owner and Flat Fee Group add a percentage at closing to the upfront fee, from 0.1% to 1.25% depending on the plan. Soldfe charges no closing fee and no percentage commission.
Here's what that means on a Detroit home at Clever's August 2026 median sale price of $213,694:
- Houzeo Silver: $249 + 0.5% = about $1,317
- List With Freedom Gold: $89 + 0.5% = about $1,157
- Soldfe Basic: $75, and nothing at closing
That's an illustration, not a quote: plans differ in what they include, and your total depends on your price and package. One flat fee, no hidden fees, and more of the sale stays with you. Buyer-broker compensation is separate from every company's listing fee and is negotiable.
What should you compare besides the upfront price?
Compare the listing term, the cost of each listing change, any fee at closing, and any cancellation fee. Clever notes that some companies charge extra for canceling early or for updating your listing.
With Soldfe, the term is six months and each MLS change is $30. Ask any company for a written list of every fee before you pay.
Which Michigan MLS will a flat fee company list on?
Most flat fee companies serving Detroit can list on Realcomp, Michigan's largest MLS. Soldfe's Michigan flat fee MLS listings go through Realcomp, subject to your property's location and MLS eligibility.
Other parts of Michigan use other MLS systems. Before you pay, ask which MLS your address will be listed on.
Where can you read honest flat fee MLS reviews?
Read reviews on Google, Trustpilot, BBB and Zillow, and weigh the number of reviews as much as the star rating. Clever ranks companies on a combination of rating and review count, so a 4.9 across thousands of reviews counts for more than a 5.0 across a handful.
Houzeo, for example, shows a 4.9 rating across 5,543 reviews, while several companies on Clever's Michigan list show no verified reviews at all. Read Soldfe success stories from our sellers.
Is the cheapest flat fee MLS the best value?
Not always. Clever says some budget plans include as many services as standard plans, while others are bare-bones, so compare what's included and whether anything is due at closing.
A $89 plan with 0.5% at closing costs more than a $299 plan with nothing at closing on any home priced above $42,000. Do the math on your own price with the seller net sheet calculator.
Flat fee MLS or discount broker: which is better?
Flat fee MLS is better if you're comfortable handling showings, offers and paperwork, because it costs a few hundred dollars or less upfront. A discount broker is better if you want an agent to run the sale, at about 1% to 2% of the sale price, or roughly $2,100 to $4,300 on Detroit's median home.
Soldfe sits in between: Full Service adds pricing strategy, negotiation and closing support for $899, still as one flat fee. See how it compares in flat fee MLS vs. traditional real estate, or read Soldfe vs Houzeo for a direct comparison.
