Uber Realty Listing Options
Compare Uber Realty’s Simple Fee, 1% and 2% Listing Options
Uber Realty’s listing options give you a choice about what you pay and how much hands-on property help you receive.
Every option includes the same core professional representation, pricing guidance, marketing, offer analysis, negotiation guidance and transaction support under the current written terms.
Start with the lowest-cost option that fits the work. A more expensive option should have a clear reason to cost more.
Not sure where listing options fit into the whole sale? Start with the 8-milestone home seller roadmap to see the process from preparation and pricing through offers, inspections, appraisal and closing.
Quick Answer
What do you give up with a lower-cost option?
You do not give up the core professional work. The Simple Fee and 1% options are not stripped-down MLS-only listings.
The same core pricing guidance, professional marketing, MLS participation, offer analysis, negotiation guidance and transaction guidance apply under Uber Realty’s current service model.
The main difference is physical involvement at the property. If the sale requires more of Jim’s time at the house, the 2% option may fit. If it does not, start with the lower-cost option.
Core Service
What stays the same with every listing option?
These are the core parts of the current Uber Realty seller process. The exact scope is controlled by the written listing agreement.
Pricing guidance
Property-specific market analysis, comparable-sale review, current competition and pricing strategy.
Preparation advice
Help deciding what may be worth repairing, investigating, documenting or leaving alone before listing.
Professional marketing
Professional property photography, a 3D property tour under the current scope, MLS entry and normal MLS and IDX participation.
Showing coordination
Scheduling support, communication and showing follow-up during the active listing period.
Offer analysis
Review of price, financing, seller-paid costs, contingencies, inspection terms, appraisal risk, closing date and estimated seller proceeds.
Negotiation guidance
Help preparing, comparing terms, building a counteroffer and responding to inspection, appraisal and later transaction requests.
Transaction guidance
Guidance through contract deadlines, inspection, appraisal, financing, title, final walk-through and closing.
Seller decision support
Jim organizes the facts, explains the choices and tells you what he recommends and why. You decide.
Accountability
Jim Whatley is the broker-owner and personally accountable for the advice, communication and handling of your sale.
Three Listing Choices
Choose the option that fits the work
Simple Fee
Paid upfront, or $5,000 paid at closing under the current operating model.
- Same core representation
- Same core marketing
- Same offer analysis
- Same negotiation guidance
- Fixed-dollar listing-side fee
- Normally no substantial routine in-person property help
May fit when: You want the core service, do not need significant property-side help and prefer a fixed-dollar listing-side fee.
1% Listing Option
One percent of the final sale price for listing-side compensation under the current operating model.
- Same core representation
- Same core marketing
- Same offer analysis
- Same negotiation guidance
- Percentage-based listing-side fee
- Normally no routine vacant checks or vendor-management trips
May fit when: You live at or near the property, can handle routine access and need a listing broker rather than someone to physically manage the house.
2% Listing Option
Two percent of the final sale price for listing-side compensation under the current operating model.
- Same core representation
- Same core marketing
- Same offer analysis
- Same negotiation guidance
- More physical involvement at the property
- Vendor, inspection, WDO, appraisal or vacant-home help
May fit when: You are out of town, the property is vacant or the sale is likely to require more of Jim’s physical time at the house.
The written listing agreement controls the actual service
Exact services, availability, fee terms, payment timing, cancellation obligations and property-side responsibilities are controlled by the current written agreement.
Third-party labor, repairs, materials, cleaning, maintenance and vendor charges are separate unless the agreement specifically says otherwise.

The Real Difference
What are you paying more for?
Not a different MLS
A 2% listing does not receive access to a second, better MLS that the lower-cost Uber Realty options cannot use.
Not better core marketing
The 2% option is not a premium photography or premium MLS package. The core marketing remains the same.
More physical property involvement
The main reason to choose 2% is that the sale requires more of Jim’s time physically dealing with the property.
The Uber Realty rule
Start with the lowest-cost listing option that fits the work your sale actually requires.
Property-Side Work
When does more hands-on help matter?
Some sellers need pricing, marketing, offer analysis, negotiation and transaction guidance. Other sellers also need someone physically managing more activity at the house.
The difference matters most when the owner has moved, the house is vacant, the property has condition issues, vendors need access or the sale requires more local coordination.
Examples of additional property-side work
- Vendor access and coordination
- Vacant-property checks when appropriate
- Inspection, WDO or appraisal attendance
- Repair follow-up and contractor coordination
- Clean-out or maintenance coordination
- Remote-seller and military PCS logistics
Questions that may affect the choice
- Will you live at or near the property?
- Can you provide routine access?
- Is the house vacant?
- Are property problems already known?
- Will several vendors need access?
- Are you likely to move before closing?
Put the Percentage in Dollars
What would the listing-side fee be on a $600,000 sale?
This is an illustration. It shows what each listing-side choice means in dollars.
Simple Fee
Using the upfront structure, or $5,000 using the pay-at-closing structure.
1% Option
One percent of a $600,000 final sale price.
2% Option
Two percent of a $600,000 final sale price.
The difference between 1% and 2% is $6,000 in this example
If the sale genuinely requires additional hands-on property help, that may be money well spent. If you do not need that help, ask why you would pay for it.
This example shows Uber Realty’s listing-side compensation only. It does not include buyer-broker compensation, seller concessions, repairs, taxes, title, settlement expenses or other transaction costs.
Which Option Fits?
Start with your situation
I live in the house
If you can handle routine property access and logistics, start by comparing Simple Fee and 1%.
I want a fixed-dollar fee
If you want the same core scope as the 1% option without tying the listing-side fee to the sale price, start with Simple Fee.
I already moved
If someone needs to handle more things at the property, the added physical involvement of the 2% option may be worth paying for.
The home is vacant
Consider who will check the property, provide access and respond when a vendor, inspector or appraiser needs help.
The property is already prepared
If records are organized and the property does not require significant coordination, a lower-cost option may fit.
I am unsure what the sale will need
Jim can see the property, review the situation and tell you which option he recommends and why.
These are examples, not automatic rules
Jim will consider the property, where you will be during the sale, what must happen before listing and how much physical involvement is likely to be required.
Then he will recommend the lowest-cost option he believes fits the work. You decide.
Negotiation
Every option includes the same core negotiation guidance
Paying a lower listing-side fee does not mean you are left alone when an offer, inspection request or low appraisal arrives.
Before an offer
Identify what matters to you, what can be traded and what realistic choices you have if an agreement is not reached.
When an offer arrives
Compare price, seller-paid costs, financing, earnest money, contingencies, inspection rights, appraisal terms and estimated proceeds.
When the contract changes
Review inspection requests, repair choices, appraisal problems, extensions and other negotiated changes.
We negotiate our service before we negotiate your sale
You choose the listing option and agree to Uber Realty’s listing-side compensation in writing before the home is listed.
Once we agree on the work, our job is to represent your interests in the sale. We are not trying to move you into a higher-priced option while we are supposed to be negotiating for you.
The listing option may change how much physical property work Jim performs. It does not change whose interests guide the negotiation.
Keep the Money Separate
Simple Fee, 1% and 2% describe the listing side
These options do not automatically include compensation that may be paid to a broker representing the buyer.
Real estate broker compensation is negotiable and is not set by law. A seller can decide whether to authorize buyer-broker compensation, subject to the written agreements and current rules. It may also be negotiated as part of a buyer’s purchase offer.
Listing-side compensation
What you agree to pay Uber Realty for listing-side services.
Buyer-broker compensation
Any seller-authorized payment toward the broker representing the buyer.
Seller concessions
Money negotiated toward allowable buyer costs or other agreed transaction expenses.
Repairs
Money spent addressing property conditions before or during the transaction.
Taxes and closing expenses
Prorations, title, settlement, government charges and other transaction expenses.
Seller proceeds
What remains after the complete transaction is considered.
Want to see how all of those numbers fit together?
See how to read a seller net sheet and compare estimated seller proceeds.
Do not judge an offer from one commission number
Look at the purchase price, buyer-broker compensation, concessions, financing, inspection terms, appraisal provisions, contingencies, closing date and estimated seller proceeds together.
Listing Option FAQ
Questions homeowners usually ask
Is the 1% option a reduced-service listing?
Not under Uber Realty’s current service model. The 1% option receives the same core professional representation, marketing, offer analysis and negotiation guidance. The main difference between 1% and 2% is the additional hands-on property involvement included with 2% when needed.
Is Simple Fee an MLS-only listing?
No. Simple Fee follows the same core service scope as the 1% option. The material difference is the fixed-dollar listing-side fee and payment structure.
What does Simple Fee cost?
Under the current operating model, Simple Fee is $4,000 when paid upfront or $5,000 when paid at closing. The signed listing agreement controls the payment terms and any cancellation or expiration obligations.
Does paying 2% provide better photography or MLS exposure?
No. The core photography, 3D tour under the current scope, MLS entry and normal MLS and IDX participation are the same. The added fee is primarily for more physical property involvement.
Does every option include negotiation help?
Yes. Offer analysis and negotiation guidance are part of the same core professional service under the current model. The seller receives help comparing terms, calculating costs and responding to later transaction requests.
Which option should a remote seller choose?
Start by determining how much physical help the property will need. A remote seller with a vacant home, vendor-access needs or condition issues may benefit from the additional involvement included with the 2% option.
Is buyer-broker compensation included?
No. Simple Fee, 1% and 2% describe Uber Realty’s listing-side compensation. Any seller-authorized buyer-broker compensation is a separate, negotiable transaction expense.
Are real estate commissions negotiable?
Yes. Real estate broker compensation is negotiable and is not set by law. The written agreements control the exact amounts, services, authorizations and payment terms.
