Thinking about selling a home in Minneapolis or anywhere in the Twin Cities? You do not have to give up a five-figure commission to get the same exposure the big brokerages get. When you list your home in Minnesota with a flat fee service, your listing goes on the NorthstarMLS — the largest Multiple Listing Service in the state — and reaches the entire Minneapolis/St. Paul metro.
Here is exactly how it works, what it costs, and what you get.
Which MLS will my Minneapolis home be listed on?
Your home is listed on the NorthstarMLS. It is the MLS that Realtors with all of the major real estate companies across the Minneapolis/Twin Cities area use to market their listings and find homes for their buyers. When your listing is on NorthstarMLS, it is in front of every one of those agents and their buyers — and it automatically syndicates out to Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia, and hundreds of other sites.
In other words, a buyer or buyer's agent searching for a home in Minneapolis sees your listing in exactly the same place they would see a home listed by a full-commission brokerage.

The same MLS the big brokerages use
When you list with us, your home appears on the NorthstarMLS — the exact same Multiple Listing Service that agents at every major real estate company in the Minneapolis area use every day. There is no "second-tier" listing. Your home sits side by side with the brokerage listings, and from there it syndicates out to Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia, Redfin, and hundreds of other sites where buyers actually look.
The difference is not where your home shows up — it shows up everywhere a traditional listing does. The difference is what you pay to get it there. Instead of handing a listing agent a percentage of your sale price, you pay one flat fee.
Pick the listing that fits you — three simple choices
When you list your home in Minnesota you get to pick from three straightforward options. There are no surprise charges and no long-term contracts.
- Basic MLS Listing — $99 one-time fee. Your home on the MLS for 6 months with up to 6 photos, syndicated to Zillow, Realtor.com, and Trulia. You manage your own showings and negotiations.
- Standard MLS Listing — $249 one-time fee. 12 months on the MLS, up to 25 photos, unlimited listing changes, open-house scheduling support, and call forwarding. Our most popular choice.
- Full Service MLS Listing — $349 plus 0.25% due at closing. Full representation: we handle the transaction end to end, with unlimited photos, a yard sign, disclosure forms, contract review, showing coordination, and a dedicated agent from listing to close.
Showings and calls come straight to you
Selling on a flat fee does not mean doing it alone. Buyer agents schedule showings through ShowingTime, the same appointment system the brokerages use, so requests land on your calendar and you simply approve a time. No agent has to be in the loop to unlock your door.
Every listing also comes with a dedicated call-forwarding number. When a buyer or an agent calls about your Minneapolis home, the call rings straight through to your phone. You talk to interested buyers directly, answer questions in real time, and never miss a lead — all while keeping your personal number private on the public listing.
What you save in Minneapolis
A traditional listing agent typically charges 2.5%–3% of your sale price. On a $350,000 Minneapolis home that is roughly $9,000–$10,500 out of your equity — for a service that, at its core, is getting your home onto the NorthstarMLS. With a flat fee listing you keep that money. Most sellers save between $8,000 and $15,000 compared to a traditional listing agent.
You still decide what buyer-agent commission to offer, and you stay in full control of pricing, showings, and negotiations. You are simply not paying a listing-side commission to do it.
