Detroit sellers searching for flat fee real estate options face a confusing landscape: $149 MLS-only listings next to full-service alternatives. The difference matters. An MLS listing gets your home on Zillow and Realtor.com. Full-service representation means someone is reviewing offers, negotiating price, managing inspections, and getting you to closing.
ShopProp starts at $1,995 for buyers and from $4,995 for sellers — with managing broker Rob Luecke personally overseeing the transaction. That is full-service flat fee, not MLS access with a phone number.
