Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 1. What is ArizonaMLSFlatFee.com? We are a local Arizona real estate brokerage that gives sellers the ability to list their homes on the MLS for a simple, flat fee instead of paying the traditional 5–6% listing commission. You get the same professional exposure as traditional listings—without the big price tag. 2. What makes Mountain Lake Realty different from other flat fee MLS companies? Unlike many “list only” services, we’re a full Arizona brokerage offering hands-on support, professional tools, and exclusive features like Zillow Showcase. This means your home isn’t just placed in the MLS—it gets enhanced exposure on the sites where buyers are actually searching. 3. What is Zillow Showcase, and why is it important? Zillow Showcase is a premium feature that makes your listing stand out with: Larger, high-quality photos and 3D tour options Premium placement at the top of Zillow search results An enhanced listing layout that attracts more buyer attention Since Zillow is the #1 home search site, Showcase listings get more views, more saves, and more showing requests compared to standard Zillow listings. This means faster offers and stronger selling power for you. 4. Do I still pay a buyer’s agent commission? Yes. While you’ll save on the listing-side commission by paying a flat fee with us, most sellers still offer a buyer’s agent commission to attract agents and buyers. The amount is flexible and completely your choice. 5. How much money can I save with Mountain Lake Realty ? A traditional agent charging 6% on a $500,000 home would cost you $30,000.
