A Charleston SC flat fee MLS listing for a Mount Pleasant home costs $89 to $399 upfront on the plans we compared (November 2026), and goes on Charleston Trident MLS. Beycome Basic is $99 with $0 at closing. Watch the back end: on a typical $871,700 Mount Pleasant home, a 0.5% closing fee alone is $4,358.50.
Prices east of the Cooper River are about twice the Charleston metro’s, so a small percentage turns into real money here. Our Mount Pleasant flat fee MLS page shows how a $99 listing works.

What does a Charleston SC flat fee MLS listing really cost in Mount Pleasant?
The upfront price is only half the story. Several firms add a percentage when the home sells, and East Cooper prices magnify it. This table runs each firm’s lowest-priced MLS plan on the typical Mount Pleasant value, A to Z with Beycome last.
| Firm and plan | Paid at signup | Added at closing | MLS photos | Months listed | Total on $871,700 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brokerless $99 | $99 | Nothing | 6 | 6 | $99 |
| ByOwner.com MLS | $295 | 0.25% | Up to 50 | 6 | $2,474.25 |
| Homecoin | $149 (varies by MLS) | Nothing | Max | 12 | $149 |
| HomeZu Local MLS Listing (SC) | $399 | 0.1% to 0.25% | 25 | 6 | $1,270.70 to $2,578.25 |
| Houzeo Bronze | $399 | Nothing | 25 | 6 | $399 |
| ISoldMyHouse Get LISTED | $299 | None stated | 6 to 10 | 6 | $299 |
| List With Freedom Gold | $89 | 0.5% | 25 | 6 | $4,447.50 |
| Beycome Basic | $99 | Nothing | All 100 the MLS allows | Longest allowed** | $99 |
Two firms tie at $99 with nothing at closing, Brokerless and Beycome, but the listings differ. Brokerless’s $99 plan shows 6 photos for 6 months. Beycome Basic shows every photo Charleston Trident MLS accepts and stays live for the longest term South Carolina and the MLS allow.** For a house with a dock or a screened porch, six photos leave a lot out.
Houzeo’s Silver, Gold and Platinum plans add 0.5% to 1.25% at closing, with a minimum commission of just under $1,000. Platinum comes to $11,395.25 on $871,700. Its extra 0.5% surcharge for Hilton Head MLS and Beaufort County MLS listings doesn’t apply on Charleston Trident.
How do you list on the MLS in South Carolina from Mount Pleasant?
You can’t join an MLS as an owner. A licensed broker enters the listing for you, and you keep the say on price, showings and offers. Mount Pleasant, Daniel Island, Isle of Palms and Sullivan’s Island all go on Charleston Trident MLS, run with the Charleston Trident Association of REALTORS.
Our Charleston Trident MLS page lists the rules that shape your listing:
- Up to 100 photos, with at least 3 for a house or condo.
- 750 characters of public remarks, about 120 words.
- No commission or bonus wording in any remarks.
- No equitable interest listings, so you must own the home.
- Days on market reset only after 30 days off the market.
- Showings booked through ShowingTime.

How big is the deed recording fee on an East Cooper sale?
South Carolina charges $1.85 for each $500 of value, or part of $500: $1.30 for the state and 55 cents for the county (S.C. Code 12-24-10 and 12-24-20). The grantor, meaning you, is liable for it. It’s paid when the deed records with the Charleston County Register of Deeds.
| Town | Typical value, Sept 2026 | Deed recording fee | 3% example |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mount Pleasant | $871,700 | $3,226.40 | $26,151 |
| Isle of Palms | $1,719,500 | $6,362.15 | $51,585 |
| Summerville | $380,000 | $1,406.00 | $11,400 |
Values come from the Zillow Home Value Index. An attorney supervises South Carolina closings, so budget for that fee too; our South Carolina FSBO contract guide shows where the attorney fits.
Which disclosure questions matter most in Mount Pleasant?
South Carolina makes the owner give the buyer a written disclosure statement on the state form (S.C. Code 27-50-40). Many Mount Pleasant homes sit in planned neighborhoods, so one line deserves care: whether the home is governed by a homeowners association, which can limit use and carry costs. Have your covenants, dues and any special assessment notice ready.
The same law lets a buyer recover actual damages from an owner who knowingly gives false information. Fill in what you know, and ask your HOA early how long its resale letter takes. More on the money side is in selling a Mount Pleasant home without a realtor.
Is Summerville on the same MLS?
Yes. Summerville, mostly in Dorchester County, lists on Charleston Trident MLS like Mount Pleasant does. The math is different, though. At a typical $380,000, a 0.5% closing fee is $1,900, not $4,358.50, and the deed fee is $1,406.00. Summerville details are on our Summerville flat fee MLS page.
