Here's an example. On a $400,000 home, this is what a percentage listing fee costs compared with MOO.

Example: a $400,000 home

Listing fee	What it costs	You keep vs. that fee with MOO MLS Only ($399)
3% listing commission	$12,000	$11,601
2.5% listing commission	$10,000	$9,601
2% listing commission	$8,000	$7,601

Even with Offer Ready at $997, a seller comparing against a 3% listing fee keeps $11,003. Buyer agent compensation is a separate question, and it's something you decide and negotiate. Example only. Results vary.

Knock knock. Who's there? Interrupting cow. Interrupting c— MOOOOO!

Yes. Your MOO listing goes on Realcomp II and is shared with Realcomp's partner MLSs, including the one Shiawassee County agents use. On the MLS within 2 business days of your completed file: signed listing paperwork, photos uploaded, intake form submitted and every room measured or marked not in your home. Files completed after 3pm Eastern count from the next business day; business days exclude weekends and holidays. Buyers on Realtor.com, Redfin and Zillow see it too, commuters scanning along I-69 included.

Do I need a Point of Sale evaluation to sell in Shiawassee County?

Yes, whenever the property has a private well, a septic system or both. Under the county's Point of Sale program the system must be evaluated before the transfer, unless it was certified within the 12 months prior. The Health Department reviews that report and has to authorize the sale.

Who does the evaluation, and what can slow it down?

A county-certified inspector or Health Department staff does the work. A septic tank that hasn't been pumped in the past two years must be serviced as part of it. Book the evaluation the week you decide to sell so it never holds up your closing.

Which Shiawassee County sales skip Point of Sale?

A few kinds of transfers are exempt, such as between spouses, through foreclosure, or of a home built within the past 24 months. Think yours qualifies? Confirm with the Health Department before you skip the evaluation.

How much is transfer tax on a Shiawassee County sale?

Together the two taxes run $8.60 per $1,000, and both are paid as the deed goes on record in Corunna:

the state's portion, $3.75 per $500
the county's portion, $0.55 per $500

Example: on $400,000, $3,000 to the state plus $440 to Shiawassee County equals $3,440.

Michigan may excuse the state portion on a principal residence, mostly where the state equalized value has not risen above where it stood at purchase. Your title company can tell you whether you fit before you lean on it, and the purchase agreement decides who actually pays.

What does the Corunna Register of Deeds charge?

$30 to record a deed, plus a $5 tax certificate on warranty deeds and land contracts. The Shiawassee County Register of Deeds sits in Corunna, the county seat, and your title company normally takes care of the certificate, the recording and the transfer taxes at closing.

Shiawassee County notes

Between two metros. I-69 crosses the southern part of the county near Durand toward Flint and Lansing, while M-21 and M-52 link the towns. Say which direction your commute runs.
Rail in Durand. Amtrak stops in Durand. If you live nearby, give the minutes to the station.
On the Shiawassee River. The river runs through Owosso and Corunna. Near the water or a public access? Show it.
Lennon sits on a line. Part of the village lies in Genesee County, so confirm on your tax bill where the deed goes.
Advertise a finished evaluation. Once the Health Department authorizes the transfer, say so in your description; buyers like knowing that step is behind them.
State disclosure forms still apply. Century-old farmhouses and new builds alike need Michigan's Seller Disclosure Statement if they have one to four units, unless a narrow exception fits such as foreclosure or a family transfer. Built before 1978? Add the federal lead paint disclosure.
Anything beyond wells and septic is local. Rental, permit and building rules come from your city or township, so ask there too.

The difference that matters

Flat means flat. Here's how MOO compares.

Real Estate MOO charges one flat price up front and never adds a percentage of your sale at closing. Here's exactly what that price covers.

Real Estate MOO

The price you see is the price you pay

$399

Flat. The whole price. At any sale price.

Zero percentage at closing — not now, not ever
Your sale price doesn't change what you owe us
Full Realcomp MLS listing + syndication included
Licensed Michigan broker backing every listing
Every tier includes full MLS syndication, up to 50 photos and unlimited edits, Listing Lab (we write, enter and maintain your MLS listing) and all three prep guides — higher tiers add broker help with offers and closing, never feature unlocks

For example, a 3% listing commission on a $400,000 home is $12,000. Real Estate MOO charges a flat $399 and takes no percentage at all — which means a higher sale price stays entirely in your pocket.

Common questions

Will the Point of Sale evaluation hold up my MLS listing?

No. The evaluation has to be finished before the sale closes, not before you list. On the MLS within 2 business days of your completed file: signed listing paperwork, photos uploaded, intake form submitted and every room measured or marked not in your home. Files completed after 3pm Eastern count from the next business day; business days exclude weekends and holidays.

Does every Shiawassee County home sale need a well and septic evaluation?

Only properties with a private well, a septic system or both. Those need a Point of Sale evaluation before the transfer, unless the system was certified in the prior 12 months, and the Health Department must authorize the sale.

My septic tank hasn't been pumped in years. Can I still sell in Shiawassee County?

Yes. Under Point of Sale, a tank not serviced in the past two years gets pumped as part of the evaluation.

Which transfers are exempt from Shiawassee County's Point of Sale rule?

Examples include transfers between spouses, foreclosures and homes built within the past 24 months. Confirm with the Health Department before relying on an exemption.

Does the Corunna Register of Deeds need a tax certificate?

For warranty deeds and land contracts, yes: $5 on top of the $30 recording fee. Title companies usually handle it.

Will agents in Owosso and Durand see my listing?

Your MOO listing goes on Realcomp II and is shared with Realcomp's partner MLSs, including the one Shiawassee County agents use. Realtor.com, Redfin and Zillow display it as well.
