Proven Expertise with a Track Record That Speaks Volumes

At Mountain Lake Realty we’re not just another flat fee listing service. We’ve closed over 1,200 homes across Arizona through our transparent, fixed-cost model. That’s over a thousand sellers who kept more equity in their pockets—many saving $10,000 to $20,000 per transaction.

Compare that to traditional 5–6% listing models still used by full-service brokerages. In many cases, those agents are outsourcing photography, marketing, and paperwork—things we’ve streamlined and built into every package we offer.

We didn’t just enter the flat fee space—we helped pioneer it in Arizona.

The Power of Zillow Showcase + Flat Fee Listings

As one of the only local brokerages in Arizona offering Zillow Showcase, we give our sellers a visibility edge that most flat fee brokers simply can’t match. Zillow Showcase listings receive:

• Enhanced branding and exposure

   

• Premium photo galleries

   

• Optimized mobile formatting

   

• Priority display in search results

   

This is not available to for-sale-by-owner (FSBO) sellers or brokerless models like Houzeo and Beycome, which cannot integrate Showcase due to their lack of licensed representation.

Proprietary Listing System That Works

Our proprietary system is designed to make listing your home simple:

1. Choose Your Package: We offer 4 tailored packages with clear benefits. Our most popular includes professional photos, Zillow Showcase, a Supra lockbox, and full document support—all for a fraction of the cost of a traditional agent.

    

2. Upload Your Info: Sellers upload property info and select service add-ons.

    

3. Live in 24–48 Hours: We syndicate your home to the Arizona Regional MLS (ARMLS), Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, Trulia, Homes.com, and 100+ other sites.

    

4. Negotiate & Close: We assist with offers, counters, and contract paperwork. Many clients opt for our contract-to-close service to make things easy.

    

A Real Case Study: $17,500 Saved on a Scottsdale Home

In 2024, a seller in Scottsdale listed their home for $750,000 using our Premium Showcase Package. They received 3 offers in 5 days. Rather than pay a 3% listing agent commission (~$22,500), they paid just $1,500 upfront and a $3,000 success fee at closing—a savings of $17,500. The home closed in 22 days.

Backed by Data, Not Just Promises

We use real data from the Arizona Regional MLS (ARMLS) and Zillow Research to inform pricing strategies and listing performance.

Our average days-on-market is 24% faster than FSBO sellers in the Phoenix metro area, and our listings are 34% more likely to receive multiple offers when paired with Zillow Showcase.

Trusted and Licensed

Unlike national “listing platforms” that operate without broker oversight or Arizona real estate licenses, we are fully compliant with the Arizona Department of Real Estate. Every listing is supervised by a licensed Arizona real estate broker with over two decades of experience
