Flat Fee MLS for Michigan Real Estate Investors, House Flippers, Home Builders & Probate/Estate Attorneys

Stop giving away 3% to 6% of your project profit or estate proceeds to a traditional listing agent. List directly on Michigan’s official Realtor® MLS boards (Realcomp, MichRIC, NGLRMLS & UPMLS) from $299 flat — backed by a BBB A+ Accredited Michigan Broker since 2005 with 6,654+ listings.

Why Michigan Flippers, Landlords & Builders Use Flat Fee Michigan on Every Deal

When you sell 2 to 20+ properties a year in Michigan, paying a traditional 3% listing commission ($9,000 to $18,000+ per house) destroys your net ROI. At Flat Fee Michigan / Kermath Realty LLC, we act as your dedicated, high-speed Michigan MLS listing broker so you keep your equity on every disposition.

1. Fast Same-Day / 24-Hr MLS Input Across Michigan

We are direct broker members of Realcomp (SE Michigan), MichRIC (West & SW Michigan), NGLRMLS (Northern MI / Traverse City), and UPMLS (Upper Peninsula). No third-party referral middleman — your flip, rental, or spec build goes live fast with full syndication to Realtor.com, Zillow, Homes.com, and Redfin.

2. Repeat-Seller & Portfolio Streamlined Workflow

Already have your entity docs (LLC Operating Agreement / Certificate of Authority) on file with us? Repeat investors and builders get streamlined onboarding, fast price/status updates, ShowingTime configured to your exact preferences, and volume flat-fee perks.

3. $0 Buyer-Agent Commission on Direct Buyers

When an unrepresented buyer finds your property through Zillow, Realtor.com, an open house, or our QR-code yard sign, they contact you directly and you pay $0 buyer-agent commission. If a buyer’s agent brings an offer, you decide what compensation (if any) makes sense for your numbers.

Tailored Flat Fee MLS Solutions by Professional Segment

House Flippers, Rehabbers & Wholesalers

  • Protect Your Flip Margin: On a $350,000 rehab exit, a traditional 3% listing agent takes $10,500 out of your net profit. Our Flat Fee MLS listing starts at $299 (or $998 Full-Service Gold).
  • Maximum MLS Photo Count (Silver & Gold): Showcase your new kitchen, baths, roof, and mechanical upgrades with maximum high-res MLS photos.
  • 50% Buyer Commission Rebate on Acquisitions: Buying your next rehab off the MLS? Use Jeff Kermath as your buyer’s broker and receive 50% of the buy-side commission credited back at closing.

Landlords, Multifamily & 1031 Exchange Sellers

  • Single-Family, Duplexes & Small Multifamily: List tenant-occupied or vacant investment properties with custom ShowingTime rules (e.g., 24–48 hour notice or inspection-upon-accepted-offer).
  • Also Listing for Lease? Add an official MLS For Lease listing to any package or list your rental directly on the MLS to attract high-credit tenants.

Jeff Kermath, your Discount, Flat Fee MLS Broker


I take great pride in being a discount Realtor or flat fee mls Realtor.   I've been a licensed Realtor for about 35 years now. After doing over 6,000 listings with hundreds of files closed, I know like most professions there are great Realtors and bad Realtors.

 

I know too after watching thousands of listings that getting into the MLS is the key to selling so using us as a discount Realtor is the way to sell! Even a great full service, top producing Realtor can do little once a home is listed in the local MLS.  After a home is listed in the MLS, the listing automatically goes to hundreds of sites like Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, C21 and a host of others.

 

So, being a discount Realtor is the way to go. I could never look someone in the eyes and tell them what we do is worth 6% of their hard earned equity. To be clear, my services are valuable but few agents can justify their high commissions.  

 

Most people know too that once a home is in the mls, the buyer comes from a buyer's agent. It would be rare that a listing agent sells their own listing as there are typically hundreds and sometimes thousands of agents that are members of the local MLS.

 

So, I love being a discount Realtor or flat fee mls Realtor. I don't make much so I try to make it up on volume.

 

I firmly believe the flat fee mls business model being a discount flat fee mls Realtor is fair.   Why?


1. We make a fee up front, not a huge fee but a fair fee.
2. We fully cooperate with all other Realtors
3. If you as a home owner find your own buyer you save all of the commission, typically 6%.
4. Worst case, you as a seller save half the commission less our small up front flat fee mls fee.

For example, take a home for $500,000. Can you imagine paying 6% or $30,000 in commission to sell? I think it's insane. This is why a flat fee mls discount Realtor is the way to go!

I hope these words of encouragement give you the confidence to list with me. 

Thank you, 
Jeff Kermath
