The listing fee

The commission was never
about the work.

A $400,000 home and a $900,000 home take the same photographs. The same MLS entry. The same showings, negotiations, and closing calls. The only thing that scales with price is the commission check. That stops here. This is a fee for service, not a commission on your equity.


Choose how you pay

One simple fee. Two ways to pay it.

A single 180-day listing term. Full marketing and full service included from day one: photography, MLS, showings, negotiation, every task a percentage-based commission would claim to cover. The fee is earned by the work performed. It is due whether or not the home sells.

Option B: deferred
$5,000 due at closing or day 180

Nothing out of pocket today. Due at closing if the home sells during the term, or on day 180 if it hasn't.

Every scenario. No asterisks.

Option A: paid $4,000 upfront
Home sells during the 180-day term$4,000 total. Done.
Home does not sell within 180 days$4,000 earned for services rendered. Nothing owed and nothing refunded.
Option B: paid at closing or day 180
Home sells during the 180-day term$5,000 due at closing.
Home does not sell within 180 days$5,000 due on day 180.
This is a fee, not a commission. It is not contingent on a sale, and it is not a percentage of anything. It pays for 180 days of full marketing and full service. If the home doesn't sell in the term, the work was still done, and the fee is still due.

What it actually costs you

Here is what the other way takes.

Every dollar above the simple fee is equity you worked for. Select your home price and see the math. Buyer-agent compensation shown at 2% as a planning example; the amount is negotiable and not required.

Why we built it this way

We founded this brokerage in 2007 with one question: why does the fee go up when the work stays the same?

The homes we sell, $400,000 to $900,000, are owned by people who maintained them. Replaced the roof. Updated the kitchen. Kept the numbers. These homes sell. The work is real but it is not heroic. It does not justify a percentage of your life's equity.

The simple fee is not a discount. It is the correct price for the work performed. It is a fee, not a commission, earned over a 180-day term regardless of outcome. The numbers in the table above are not what we charge. They are what the traditional model takes from you for doing the same job.

Same MLS. Same buyers. Same process.
The only difference is what you keep.
