Your property information may also be distributed to Zillow, Realtor.com, and other real estate websites through MLS syndication and data-sharing arrangements. Each website independently determines which listings it displays and how the information appears.

East Chicago flat fee MLS questions

What MLS will my East Chicago property be listed on?
Properties listed through our Indiana service in this area are entered directly into NIRA MLS, subject to final broker eligibility and applicable listing requirements. Your listing details are confirmed from the property's exact address during broker review.
How much does a flat fee MLS listing in East Chicago cost?
Our featured packages are Standard at $349 and Premium at $399, and either can be extended 6 months for $100. MLS availability and listing requirements depend on your property's location. Contact us with your property address if you're unsure which package applies.
How long will my East Chicago MLS listing remain active?
Both Standard and Premium run for 6 months. The optional Extend Listing upgrade adds 6 more months for $100, for 12 months in total.
Are there closing fees or commissions to us when my East Chicago home sells?
No. Your flat fee is paid once, when you order, and we add nothing at closing: no closing fees, transaction fees or success fees.
How many photos can I include with my East Chicago listing?
Standard includes up to 25 photos and Premium includes up to 50 photos.
What if my East Chicago property belongs to a different MLS?
Listings for this area through our service go directly into NIRA MLS. Indiana has other regional MLS systems outside the approved Indiana Regional MLS and NIRA markets; those areas are not automatically included. Whether a particular property can be listed is confirmed during broker review, so send us the address if you have questions before you order.
How do buyers and agents contact me about my East Chicago listing?
Real estate agents see your contact information and showing instructions in the MLS and can reach you directly. Unrepresented buyers searching on consumer websites such as Zillow or Realtor.com do not see your personal contact information; those sites typically show the listing brokerage's contact information or their own inquiry forms. Buyer and agent inquiries received by the listing brokerage are forwarded to the seller by the broker; automated call forwarding is not provided, and inquiries sent through a third-party site's own forms may go to agents on that platform.
