Flat Fee Group Michigan — Petoskey, Charlevoix, Emmet & Charlevoix Counties

Harbor Springs, Petoskey, Charlevoixe and the rest of Emmet & Charlevoix Counties run on the northern Michigan MLS the Emmet Association of REALTORS uses. That is who has to see the listing. Flat Fee Group lists those homes through Kermath Realty LLC.

I’m Jeff Kermath, broker / owner. Thirty years licensed in Michigan. Broker license #650533406. Verify it with the state. I put the listing in myself. We don't outsource anything. We are the direct MLS listing company.

You can pick limited service or full service. I answer early and late. This is not an internet referral that assigns a stranger after you pay.

You pay a flat fee, not a 5–6% listing commission. The listing still syndicates to Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, Redfin, and the usual sites.

We use this page for Petoskey, Harbor Springs, Alanson, Pellston, Mackinaw City, Charlevoix, Boyne City, East Jordan, Cheboygan, Indian River, and the rest of Emmet, Charlevoix, and Cheboygan Counties.

FAQ

Can I list Petoskey or Harbor Springs for a flat fee?
Yes. I enter it on the northern Michigan MLS so Emmet and Charlevoix agents see a normal listing.

Is it a different listing than a traditional Petoskey agent?
No. Same MLS product. You keep more of the sale because you did not pay a listing percentage. Sell by owner if you want. If a buyer’s agent brings the buyer, they typically want 2–3%, set when the offer comes in.

How fast is it live?
Usually within 24 hours of paperwork and photos.

Zillow / Realtor.com?
Yes.

Sign and lockbox?
Mailed after you sign up. QR on the sign sends FSBO calls to you.
