Detroit sellers searching for flat fee real estate face a confusing landscape. Most options are MLS-only listing services that charge $149 to $999 to list your home on MLS, then leave you to handle showings, negotiations, and closing alone.
ShopProp offers a different model: full-service representation with a managing broker, starting from $4,995 for sellers under $1M. Buyers pay a flat fee starting at $1,995.

What MLS-Only Means in Michigan
Michigan has specific disclosure requirements, title insurance customs that vary by region (buyer pays in metro Detroit, split in western MI), and lead paint disclosure obligations. An MLS-only service lists your home and leaves you to navigate these requirements alone.
With ShopProp, managing broker Rob Luecke (19 years, 4,000+ transactions across 8 states) handles disclosure review, price negotiation, and closing coordination. The difference between $149 MLS-only and $4,995 full-service often pays for itself in a single negotiation.
