List Your Huntington PropertyKeep Your Equity: Flat Fee MLS in Huntington & the Tri-State Region
At Hawkins Real Estate Services, we provide Huntington property owners, university faculty, medical professionals, real estate investors, and river-valley homeowners with direct listing placement on the regional Multiple Listing Service via our transparent, cost-effective Flat Fee MLS listing packages.
Positioned along the Ohio River at the vibrant intersection of West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky, Huntington anchors the Tri-State metropolitan area. Fueled by Marshall University, Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine, Cabell Huntington Hospital, and St. Mary’s Medical Center, the city features steady housing demand across a broad range of architectural styles and neighborhoods. Sellers in Huntington market everything from classic early-20th-century historic brick residences and craftsman bungalows in the Southside Historic District, to custom single-family homes in Stamford Park, Beverly Hills, and Highlawn, campus-area rental investments, downtown lofts near Pullman Square, and scenic suburban or acreage properties in nearby Barboursville and Pea Ridge. Intersected by Interstate 64, U.S. Route 60, and U.S. Route 52, Huntington provides seamless commuter access across the river corridor into Ashland, Kentucky and Ironton, Ohio, as well as east toward Charleston. Placing your property directly on the primary regional Multiple Listing Service ensures your listing is immediately broadcast to thousands of licensed REALTORS® and active buyers searching both locally and across state lines.
Protecting your equity at closing is critical. Handing over a standard 3% listing commission means forfeiting $5,000 to over $15,000 of your hard-earned profits. Flat Fee MLS offers identical regional MLS syndication to all major public real estate platforms—including Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and Homes.com—while giving you complete For Sale By Owner (FSBO) control over your showing schedule, open houses, contract reviews, and net proceeds.
