At Houzeo, we believe in transparency and cost-effective solutions for selling your property.
Here's a breakdown of fees associated with selling your home through Houzeo:
Houzeo's Flat Fee:
Houzeo charges a flat fee to list your property on the MLS. This fee covers our services, such as:
- MLS Listing: Your property will be listed on the MLS in your area, maximizing exposure to potential buyers and real estate agents.
- User-Friendly Dashboard: Manage your listing, schedule showings, and communicate with interested buyers conveniently through our online platform.

Package Options and Closing Fees:
Houzeo offers a range of flat-fee packages (Bronze, Silver, Gold, and Platinum), each with progressively higher levels of service. Here are some important details:
Closing Fees: The Silver, Gold, and Platinum plans include a closing fee, typically between 0.5% and 1.25% of the final sale price, paid to the listing agent. These fees help compensate our partner realtors for providing additional services.
