Why Direct Membership in NGLRMLS (Northern Great Lakes REALTORS® MLS) Matters vs. Referral Sites

  • Direct Member of NGLRMLS (Northern Great Lakes Realtors® MLS / Aspire North): Broker/Owner Jeff Kermath (Michigan License #6502334057) is a direct member of NGLRMLS (nglrmls.com) and the Emmet / Petoskey area MLS, with reciprocal data sharing covering Water Wonderland / Northeastern Michigan. Jeff personally inputs your Northern Michigan listing directly into NGLRMLS.
  • Why High Northern Michigan Property Values Make Flat Fee MLS Essential: On a $650,000 Traverse City, Leelanau, Torch Lake, or Petoskey property, a traditional 6% commission takes $39,000 out of your equity! Our Flat Fee MLS plans cost just $299 (Bronze), $399 (Silver), or $998 (Full-Service Gold).
  • Direct Broker Service vs. Out-of-State Referral Middlemen: Don’t pay Houzeo or national lead-generation sites up front plus 0.5%–1.25% at closing just to be handed off to an unknown agent. With Flat Fee Michigan, you work directly with Broker Jeff Kermath from day one.
  • QR Code Yard Sign Captures Up North Drive-By & Boat/Lake Buyers Directly: We ship our QR code yard sign and optional lockbox right to your Northern Michigan home or cottage. Unrepresented buyers who scan the sign via ShowMyListing.com contact you directly so you pay $0 buyer-agent commission.
