What does a $99 flat fee MLS listing buy in Minnesota?

Two companies sell a $99 listing with $0 at closing in Minnesota: Beycome and Brokerless. Our Brokerless MLS reviews cover its plans and add-ons in detail. Beycome Basic gives you as many photos as NorthstarMLS takes, and the longest term the state and MLS allow.** Brokerless’s $99 plan has 6 photos for 6 months. Its $188 plan raises that to 12 months and more photos.

Term matters here because of the seasons. A listing that starts in late fall runs into winter. A 6-month plan bought in November ends in May. Homecoin’s $149 plan, with 12 months and max photos, is also worth a look if price is your main filter.

Houzeo’s Minnesota page says its Silver, Gold and Platinum plans carry a minimum fee at closing. On a typical home, Platinum’s 1.25% is $4,360.00, well over that minimum. Beycome’s version is Concierge, with a person negotiating with you, always on your side.

Which MLS covers Minnesota and Minneapolis?

NorthstarMLS is the trade name of the Regional Multiple Listing Service of Minnesota, Inc. It serves more than 22 thousand real estate professionals through 12 partner associations, and nearly 97% of Minnesota REALTORS share listings there. In 2025 it handled over 75,000 sales worth more than $30.4 billion.

Put plainly: if your listing is in NorthstarMLS, almost every Minnesota buyer’s agent can see it. Some regions have their own MLS too. Brokerless’s Minnesota page names a Duluth MLS and a Southeast Minnesota MLS, for example. Beycome lists on NorthstarMLS and on My State MLS Minnesota. Ask any other company which one you’ll be in. For the Twin Cities, see our Minneapolis flat fee MLS comparison and the one for Saint Paul sellers.

How much is the Minnesota deed tax when you sell?

Minnesota charges a deed tax when the deed is recorded, and the deed names the parcel by its property ID number. Under Minn. Stat. 287.21, it’s 0.0033 of the net consideration, with a $1.65 minimum on sales of $3,000 or less. The Minnesota Department of Revenue confirms the rate.

Hennepin and Ramsey counties add an Environmental Response Fund tax of 0.0001. So the rate there is 0.0034. Here’s what that means on a typical $348,800 home:

  • Most Minnesota counties: 0.0033 × $348,800 = $1,151.04.
  • Hennepin or Ramsey: add $34.88, for $1,185.92.

Net consideration means the price less any lien the buyer takes over, such as an assumed mortgage. In most sales, it’s just the price.

What must a Minnesota seller disclose?

Minnesota law gives you three ways to handle disclosure. Pick the one that fits your home.

1. Disclose in writing. Under Minn. Stat. 513.55, before you sign a sale agreement you must tell the buyer all material facts you know that could significantly affect an ordinary buyer’s use or enjoyment of the home.

2. Use a third-party report. Under 513.56, you don’t have to disclose what a qualified third party’s written report already tells the buyer, such as a home inspection. You still have to mention known facts that contradict the report.

3. Waive it. Under 513.60, you and the buyer can agree in writing to waive the disclosure. That waiver doesn’t cover duties from other laws, such as well disclosure.

Some things you never have to disclose, under 513.56: that the home was the site of a natural death, suicide or “perceived paranormal activity,” for example. Beycome includes Minnesota disclosure forms with every plan. Our Minnesota purchase agreement for sale by owner guide shows when each one is due.

What is NorthstarMLS?

It’s the main MLS in Minnesota, run by the Regional Multiple Listing Service of Minnesota, Inc. More than 22 thousand professionals use it, and it handled over 75,000 sales in 2025.

How much is the deed tax when selling a house in Minnesota?

0.33% of the net price, or 0.34% in Hennepin and Ramsey counties. On $348,800 that’s $1,151.04, or $1,185.92 in those two counties.

Can I skip the seller disclosure in Minnesota?

Only if the buyer agrees in writing, under Minn. Stat. 513.60, or if a qualified third-party report covers the facts. Other required disclosures, like well disclosure, still apply.

Is flat fee MLS legal in Minnesota?

Yes. A licensed Minnesota broker enters the listing. Beycome lists through Beycome Brokerage Realty LLC, its licensed brokerage affiliate.

Is a flat fee realtor in MN the same as a flat fee MLS company?

Not always. A flat fee MLS company lists your home and you run the sale. A flat fee realtor in Minneapolis or elsewhere may also price, show and negotiate for a set fee. Ask what’s included in writing.

Can I post a buyer’s agent commission on NorthstarMLS?

No. Since August 17, 2024, offers of buyer’s agent pay can’t appear on any MLS. You can still offer it off the MLS or in the purchase agreement.

Commission figures are examples only. Real estate commissions are not set by law or by NAR rules and are fully negotiable. Sellers choose whether to offer any compensation to a buyer’s agent, and how much; since August 17, 2024, those offers can’t be shown on the MLS.

Prices as of October 20, 2026, from each company’s Minnesota or pricing page. Service details for other companies come from their national or Texas pages read the same day. Totals use the typical Minnesota home value of $348,800 and add only each company’s stated fee at closing. Home values: Zillow Home Value Index, September 2026.

“$0 at closing” means no Beycome fee at closing. Deed tax, title and any buyer’s agent pay you agree to still apply.

* No cancellation fee. Listings under contract can’t be canceled. No refund once the listing is live.

** Listing term: the maximum the state and MLS allow, up to 24 months (12 in Maryland and Pennsylvania).
