THE FAIR FEE ADVANTAGE

A Smarter Way to Sell Your Home

Stop overpaying to sell your home. At Michigan Mitten Realty, we combine professional listing services with a pricing model that’s built to save you thousands.

We believe you should keep more of your equity without sacrificing the support of a skilled local agent. That’s why we created a simple, fair, transparent pricing structure:

💼 Modern, Transparent Listing Fees

Traditional real estate commissions often charge the same percentage regardless of home value, pricing strategy, or seller needs.  At Michigan Mitten Realty, we use a modern fee structure designed to be more transparent, predictable, and fair — while still providing full professional representation and service.  Our pricing is structured to offer meaningful savings compared to traditional listing-side commission models while remaining straightforward and easy to understand.

​

🏡 How Our Listing Fees Work:​

🟢 Homes Under $150,000
  • Flat Listing Fee = $3,000
🟢 Homes from $150,000 – $299,999
  • Listing Fee = 2% of the sale price
🟡 Homes from $300,000 – $599,999
  • Listing Fee = 2.25% of the sale price
🔵 Homes $600,000 and Above
  • Listing Fee = 2.5% of the sale price
​

Recent Changes and Considerations:

  • Buyer's Agent Fees:

    Historically, listing agents often included the buyer's agent's commission in their listing agreement, and this was advertised on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS). However, this practice has changed due to a recent settlement involving the National Association of Realtors (NAR). 

  • Negotiation of Buyer's Agent Fees:

    Now, buyer's agent fees are typically negotiated directly between the buyer and their agent, off-platform. 

  • Seller Concessions:

    While the buyer's agent fee is negotiated separately, sellers may still offer a concession to help offset the buyer's agent's commission. 

  • Transparency:

    It's crucial to be transparent with both sellers and buyers about how your commission structure works and how it might impact the overall transaction costs. 

  • Written Agreements:

    Buyer's agents are now required to have written agreements with their clients outlining the services provided and the fees associated with those services, which promotes clarity and transparency.
