What an MLS listing gets you
Buyers' agents see it
The MLS is the shared database local agents use to find homes for their buyers.
A lower listing fee
$99 to list, then 1.5% of the sale price at closing, paid through the title company.
No sale, no listing fee
If your home does not sell, you owe nothing beyond the $99.
Start your MLS listing
MLS listing: $99 now plus a 1.5% listing fee due at closing. The 1.5% is collected at closing through the title company, not charged to your card. If the home does not sell, you owe nothing more. Prefer to handle everything yourself? The for sale by owner listing is $99 flat, one time.

Flat fee MLS vs. traditional listing vs. FSBO
Commissions in Michigan are not set by law. They are negotiated between you and the brokerage. Here is how the three approaches differ.
| Rebuild Detroit MLS listing | Traditional listing | For sale by owner | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Upfront cost | $99 | Usually nothing upfront | $99 flat |
| Listing fee at closing | 1.5% of the sale price | A percentage you negotiate with the listing agent | None |
| If it does not sell | No listing fee owed | Depends on your listing agreement | Nothing more owed |
| On the MLS | Yes | Yes | No |
| Buyer agent pay | Your choice | Your choice, often discussed with your agent | Your choice |
| Who books showings | Buyers' agents request showings | Your listing agent | You, directly with buyers |
What a listing broker does
Only a licensed real estate broker who belongs to the MLS can put a home on it. On a full service listing, the broker and their agents typically:
- Enter the listing, photos and details on the MLS, and update price and status.
- Help set the price using recent sales of similar homes.
- Schedule showings with buyers' agents and pass along feedback.
- Present offers and help negotiate price, repairs and closing date.
- Work with the buyer's lender and the title company through closing.
With a flat fee style listing, you usually take on more of the showing and prep work yourself in exchange for a lower fee. Ask which tasks are included before you sign a listing agreement, and look up any broker or agent on Michigan's state license search.
How buyer agent compensation works now
Since August 17, 2024, under the National Association of REALTORS settlement, offers of compensation to buyers' agents can no longer be posted on the MLS. Here is what that means for you as a seller:
- It is your choice. You can offer to pay part of a buyer's agent fee, offer nothing, or decide offer by offer. Any such offer is made off the MLS.
- You can offer buyer concessions. Sellers can still offer credits toward a buyer's closing costs, and those can appear on the MLS.
- Buyers sign agreements too. Agents working with buyers must have a written agreement before touring a home, stating what the agent will be paid.
- Everything is negotiable. Broker fees and commissions are fully negotiable and not set by law.
A buyer who needs help paying their agent may ask for it in their offer. You can accept, counter or say no, just like any other term.

Price and prep

Pay $99 and go live
Check out online, then add photos, description and showing instructions. Your home appears on the MLS where buyers' agents search.
- 4
Showings and offers
Buyers' agents request showings. Compare offers on price, financing, inspection period, concessions and closing date.

Inspection and appraisal
Most buyers get a home inspection and, with a mortgage, an appraisal. Be ready to negotiate repairs or credits.

Close
The title company handles the deed, pays off your loan and collects the 1.5% listing fee from the sale proceeds. You get the rest.
