Can I list my property with Houzeo for a flat fee if I have my own agent?
Yes, you can list your property with Houzeo for a flat fee and a minimal commission on closing, even if you have your own agent, but there are some important considerations to keep in mind based on how Houzeo operates and standard real estate practices.
Houzeo is a flat-fee MLS (Multiple Listing Service) platform designed primarily for For Sale By Owner (FSBO) sellers who want to list their property on the MLS without a traditional listing agent, thus avoiding the standard higher listing agent commission. Houzeo primarily assigns agents to homeowners to get their property listed on the MLS. However, if you already have your own agent, you need to clarify the role your agent will play and how it integrates with Houzeo’s service. When you choose Houzeo, we assign a dedicated listing agent to assist you. Even if you have your own agent, you still need to select Houzeo's listing agent for your property to be listed on the MLS. Your agent can assist you with other aspects of the transaction, but they cannot replace Houzeo’s agent for the listing process. This ensures that your property receives maximum exposure on the MLS and hundreds of public real estate websites, helping to attract potential buyers and save on commission fees.
