Key takeaways
- Zillow gets most agent and broker listings from MLS feeds, so the MLS is the usual route onto it.
- In Concierge, the expert prepares, explains and negotiates with you; you approve the price, the showings and the offer.
- Concierge includes 25 professional HD photos, plus a 3D tour and drone photos where available.
- Chicago-area sellers: MRED suspended its listing feed to Zillow on May 20, 2026, so check each site once your listing is live.

Who does what in an expert-supported Zillow sale?
Here’s the split, step by step. The left column is the work an expert does with you. The right column is yours alone.
| Step | The expert works with you on | You decide |
|---|---|---|
| Price | A comparative market analysis and pricing guidance | The list price, and any later change |
| Photos and marketing | Scheduling 25 HD photos, a 3D tour and drone shots where available, flyers and signs | Which photos lead, what the description says |
| MLS and Zillow | Getting the listing live on the MLS in 36 hours or less, so it syndicates out | When to go live |
| Showings | Lockbox and showing setup | Approving or declining each request |
| Offers | Reviewing and comparing every offer, and negotiating with you, always on your side | Accept, counter or decline |
| Contract to closing | Paperwork, deadlines, inspection, title and closing coordination | Repairs or credits, final sign-off |
Those items come from Beycome’s Concierge page, read October 30, 2026. The point of the split is simple. You get the know-how of a full listing, and the controls stay in your hands: your dashboard shows every showing request, message and offer as it arrives.
How does the listing get onto Zillow?
Through the MLS, in most cases. Zillow takes agent and broker listings from MLS feeds, and Beycome syndicates every listing to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, Homes.com and 1,000+ other sites. So the first job is a clean MLS listing.
That’s where the expert’s prep work pays off. Wrong square footage, a missing HOA fee or a mismatched address can hold a listing back, because the MLS checks the data against its own records. With Concierge, the listing goes live on the MLS in 36 hours or less once your details are complete.
One local exception. MRED, the MLS for the Chicago area and northern Illinois, suspended its listing feed to Zillow on May 20, 2026, and on September 15, 2026 a court sent the dispute to arbitration (Real Estate News; RISMedia, September 16, 2026). If you sell in that area, your listing still feeds the major home search sites, but check each one after it goes live rather than counting on Zillow.
What about Zillow’s own for-sale-by-owner posts? They’re an option some owners choose, but they don’t go on the MLS, so buyers’ agents searching the MLS won’t see them. Our guide to Zillow FSBO fees versus MLS visibility lays out the trade-off.
Can I change my Zillow listing myself?
Yes. You make listing changes yourself on the website, any time: price, photos, description, open house dates. Updates go live within about an hour and flow out to Zillow and the other sites from the MLS.
The expert’s job here is to tell you what a change will likely do, not to make it for you. Thinking of a price cut after two weekends? Talk it through with your expert first, then click the button yourself. It’s your listing.
Watch the Zestimate, but don’t price from it. It’s an estimate built from public data, and it can lag your updates. A recent sale two streets over says more about your price. Our guide to Zillow listing costs covers what you do and don’t pay to appear there.
Who handles showings and buyer calls?
Buyers who find you on Zillow tour through their agent or contact the listing. Concierge includes a lockbox for buyer showings, and you get an instant alert for every request. You approve or decline it.
Calls come through Beycome’s line, 844-799-7886 plus your extension. They’re forwarded to you with the caller’s details, also sent by text, so your personal number stays off Zillow and away from spam. Emails and leads reach you the same way.
Your expert is a call, text or email away 7 days a week, and Artur, the AI assistant, answers 24/7. AI where it counts, people where they matter.

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 →How are offers handled?
Every offer lands in your dashboard. Your expert reviews it with you: price, financing, deposit, contingencies, closing date. Then you decide what to do, and the expert negotiates with you, always on your side, on the counters that follow.
Buyer-agent compensation is one of the terms that comes up. It’s your choice whether to offer any, and how much. Since August 17, 2024, offers of compensation can’t appear on the MLS, according to the National Association of Realtors; they’re agreed in writing, off the MLS. Beycome sellers close every day with buyers’ agents, title companies and lenders on the other side.
If an offer has unusual terms, Nolo’s legal guides are a good plain-language read, and a local attorney can review it. For a feel of how counters work, see the dos and don’ts of negotiating a cash offer.
What happens from contract to closing?
The expert coordinates the inspection, the appraisal, title and every deadline with you. You decide how to answer the inspection: repair, credit, or as is. If the buyer has a loan, the lender sends the Closing Disclosure at least three business days before closing, as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau explains.
For title, Beycome Title closes in Florida ($99, prepaid at checkout), Texas ($299 settlement fee per side), Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana. You can also use any title company or attorney you choose.
What does it cost, and is there a lighter option?
Concierge is $1,399, with $0 due to Beycome at closing and no listing commission. The listing runs up to 24 months (12 in Maryland and Pennsylvania), and you can cancel any time with no cancellation fee*.
Prefer to run it yourself? A flat fee MLS listing puts your home on the major home search sites and the MLS from $99 (Basic) or $399 (Enhanced, with 25 professional photos), with the Artur AI assistant for offers. We’ve helped 22,000+ homeowners save over $225 million, with a home sold every 30 minutes (Beycome internal data, October 2026).

Selling on Zillow with expert help: questions
Can I get my home on Zillow without a traditional agent?
Yes. A flat fee MLS listing feeds Zillow and the other major home search sites, except where an MLS has cut its Zillow feed, as MRED did in the Chicago area.
What does a Concierge expert do?
Pricing guidance, marketing, offer review and negotiation with you, paperwork and closing coordination. You make every decision.
Who approves showings with Concierge?
You do. You get an instant alert for each request and approve or decline it yourself.
How fast does a listing reach Zillow?
Concierge listings go live on the MLS in 36 hours or less once details are complete, then syndicate out. Check Zillow after it’s live.
Is a Zillow FSBO post the same as an MLS listing?
No. A Zillow FSBO post isn’t on the MLS, so agents searching the MLS won’t see it.
How much does Beycome Concierge cost?
$1,399, with $0 due to Beycome at closing.
Prices as of November 2026: Basic $99, Enhanced $399, Concierge $1,399; Basic is $129 in California and Illinois. “$0 at closing” means no Beycome fee at closing; other closing costs, taxes, title fees and any buyer-agent compensation you agree to still apply. Beycome lists in 17 states and DC.
* No cancellation fee, except Georgia MLS’s mandatory $25; listings under contract can’t be canceled. Listing term: the maximum the state and MLS allow (24 months; 12 in MD and PA). 3D tour and drone where available. Syndication depends on each site and MLS. Beycome Title: Florida, Texas, Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.
