Traditional listing at a lower rate
Flat Rate Listing
REAL ESTATE COMMISSIONS DO NOT HAVE TO BE CALCULATED AS PERCENTAGES
A flat rate listing can save you thousands of dollars when you sell your home - possibly tens of thousands of dollars.
With a flat rate listing, you pay the listing broker an agreed upon fee no matter what price your home sells for. (Commission for the agent representing the buyer, if any, is calculated separately.)
In almost all situations the flat rate will be lower than the usual percentage that listing agents charge. Use the contact form below to learn more.
THE TRUTH ABOUT REAL ESTATE COMMISSIONS
In California, any brokerage can sell the listings of any other brokerage.
Real Estate commissions are negotiable and not set by law.
As much as 50% of the commission an agent earns might be split with their company.
Some brokerages also pay franchise fees further driving up costs.
Inexperienced agents often charge as much - or more, than those who have sold hundreds of homes.
All that can add up to a lot of extra cost for sellers
What Are Sellers Really Paying For?
Most sellers believe that when they pay 5-6% to sell their home, it is for their agent’s time, and the expense of marketing the listing. But unfortunately, that is often not the reality of the situation as it is common for agents to market properties online through social media which is a low cost channel.
And, since almost all properties listed for sale wind up in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and are syndicated to 1000’s of websites worldwide, there is a level playing field that does not favor larger firms.
This means agents, not brokerages, sell homes the homes they list based on their skills.
