Updated October 2026. This page isn’t a list of packages. It’s about the extras: what each add-on or upgrade actually buys you on a Beycome flat fee listing, and when it’s worth the money. Package details are from beycome.com/flat-fee-mls, read on October 29, 2026.
A flat fee listing starts at $99 for Beycome Basic, and most sellers never need more. As of November 2026, the upgrades worth paying for are the ones that fix a weak spot: $189 pro photos if yours are poor, Enhanced at $399 if you also want signs and flyers, and Concierge at $1,399 if you want an expert working with you on price, offers and closing.

Key takeaways
- Basic ($99) already includes the maximum photos the MLS allows, unlimited changes, ShowingTime where available, and the longest term the state and MLS allow.
- Basic plus the $189 photo option costs $288. Enhanced costs $399, so the extra $111 buys signs, flyers, a spot on beycome.com and an MLS listing in 36 hours or less.
- The key lockbox is not part of Enhanced since October 1, 2026. It’s an add-on, and it stays included in Concierge.
- Concierge is $1,399. You get an expert who works with you whenever you need it, and you keep every decision.
What does the $99 Basic listing already cover?
More than people expect, which is why the first question about any upgrade should be “do I need it?” Here’s what Basic includes, per the package list on beycome.com, read October 29, 2026:
- A listing on your local MLS, with syndication to the major home search sites.
- The maximum number of photos your MLS allows.
- Free, unlimited updates and changes, made by you in the dashboard.
- Online offers, messaging, e-signature and your state’s legal forms.
- ShowingTime scheduling where the MLS offers it, plus an open house scheduler.
- The maximum listing term the state and MLS allow: 24 months, or 12 in Maryland and Pennsylvania.
- Support 7 days a week, with Artur AI 24/7.
- No cancellation fee, and $0 due at closing.
Basic is $129 in California and Illinois and stays $99 elsewhere. So if your photos are good and you’re happy to show the home yourself, stop here. An upgrade won’t change how buyers find you, because every package goes on the major home search sites and the MLS.

When is the $189 photo option worth it?
When your photos are the weakest part of the listing. That’s common. A phone shot of a dark living room at dusk does more harm than no photo at all.
The research backs the spend. In NAR’s 2025 Profile of Home Staging, 73% of buyers’ agents said photos in a listing were highly important to their clients, and 88% of sellers’ agents said the same about their sellers. The same report put the median cost of a staging service at $1,500. Next to that, $189 for a professional shoot is a small line.
Try this test. Open your three best photos on your phone, next to three listings near you at a similar price. If yours look worse, buy the shoot. If they look as good, keep your money. Our guide to improving your listing photos shows what “good” looks like, and who pays for photos when selling compares the options.
One timing note. A complete Basic listing usually goes live within hours of the questionnaire. A photo shoot is scheduled separately, so the shoot date, not the paperwork, sets your go-live day.
When is Enhanced worth the upgrade?
Do the math first. Basic plus pro photos is $99 + $189 = $288. Enhanced is $399. So the real question is what the extra $111 buys. Per beycome.com:
- 25 professional HD photos from one session, and full ownership of them.
- A personalized yard sign and an open house signage package.
- Customizable flyers, brochures and printable promotional items.
- A featured spot on beycome.com.
- An MLS listing in 36 hours or less (the photo shoot is scheduled separately).
Enhanced makes sense when your home gets drive-by traffic, when you plan open houses, or when you’d rather not design your own sign and flyer. On a quiet cul-de-sac with no open houses planned, Basic plus photos may be all you need.
What Enhanced does not include: a key lockbox. Since October 1, 2026 the lockbox is an add-on you can order separately; check its current price when you order. It stays included in Concierge. If buyers’ agents will show the home while you’re at work, the lockbox add-on is often worth it on any package.
When is Concierge worth it?
Concierge is a different kind of upgrade. The other add-ons buy things: photos, signs, a lockbox. Concierge buys time with a person. You get everything in Enhanced, plus:
- A dedicated closing coordinator, 7 days a week.
- Negotiation and paperwork support from an expert who works with you whenever you need it.
- Home valuation, pricing help and a full comparative market analysis.
- A 3D tour and drone photos where available.
- A key lockbox and full marketing support.
You still decide everything: the price, who tours, and which offer to accept. Concierge is $1,399, with $0 at closing. That’s $600 more than Enhanced today, and $1,000 more.
Sell smarter
List your home on the MLS from $99
A flat fee instead of a percentage, and $0 to Beycome at closing. You stay in control of your sale.
Sell your home →Buy smarter
Get up to 2% back at closing
On homes listed by other agents, Beycome credits you up to 2% of the price at closing (1% kept, $1,499 minimum; not on FSBO homes or homes listed by Beycome sellers).
Buy a home →Who tends to choose it? Sellers selling for the first time, sellers who live away from the home, and anyone who expects several offers or a tricky inspection. If you’re comfortable reading contracts and countering offers with help from Artur, the AI assistant included in every package, you may not need it.
How does it compare with a percentage? A 1% listing fee on a $400,000 home is $4,000; a 3% fee would be $12,000. Those figures are examples only. Commissions are not set by law or NAR rules and are fully negotiable, sellers choose whether to offer any buyer-agent compensation and how much, and since August 17, 2024 those offers can’t be shown on the MLS. The National Association of Realtors explains the 2024 rule changes on its site.
Which other services can you add?
Title and closing. Beycome Title closes sales in Florida for $99 when prepaid on beycome.com and in Texas for a $299 settlement fee per side. It also closes in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. You’re free to choose any title company. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau explains closing costs in plain words.
Your next home. If you’re buying after you sell, the Beycome buyer program has no upfront fee. It’s open to every buyer on homes listed by other agents (the commission credit can’t apply where no buyer-agent commission is offered, like most FSBO homes, or on homes listed by Beycome sellers). Beycome keeps 1% of the price, minimum $1,499, and credits the rest of the buyer-agent commission at closing, with lender approval. Bankrate has mortgage calculators to size the next payment.
Taxes. Not an add-on, but plan for it. The Internal Revenue Service lets owners who meet the ownership and use tests exclude up to $250,000 of gain on a main home ($500,000 for joint filers).
How do you choose without overspending?
Start at Basic and add only what fixes a gap. Weak photos: add the $189 shoot. Signs and open houses: Enhanced. Showings while you’re away: the lockbox add-on. Want an expert beside you for price, offers and closing: Concierge. Beycome has helped 22,000+ homeowners save over $225 million (Beycome internal data, October 2026), and most of them started with the question “what do I actually need?”
