- Strong photos and complete MLS details get your home into more buyers' saved searches.

- List on the MLS so every buyer's agent in the area can see your home — that's where most buyers are found.

How Listing on the MLS Works in Detroit Lakes
The MLS (Multiple Listing Service) is the database real estate agents use to find homes for their buyers. When your Detroit Lakes home is listed there, every participating agent in the area can see it, and the listing feeds out to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, Homes.com and other major home search sites.
With a flat fee listing, you get that same MLS exposure without signing up for a percentage-based listing commission. Buyer calls come to a dedicated listing phone number that forwards straight to you, and you can put that number on your yard sign.
Choose the $199 MLS Listing to handle the sale yourself, or add a licensed Minnesota broker's help with Broker Assist ($499) or Full-Service ($1,499).
What you'll need to list
- Signed listing agreement
- Minnesota seller's disclosure forms
- Photos (or our professional photography with Full-Service*)
- Property details: bedrooms, baths, square footage, lot, taxes, updates
- Your asking price — or a CMA from us to set it
