Full service. Real marketing. One flat fee.

Your agent handles all of it: the prep, the photos, the open houses, the offers, the escrow.

How it works

What happens after you call.

A normal full-service sale, and you know the fee on day one.

  1. Your agent walks your house and prices it.

    You'll see what the house is worth: comps that match it, what's selling nearby, and a list price you agree on before anything goes live.

  2. We run the sale while you get on with your move.

    Photography, the MLS, open houses, showings, offers, inspection, escrow. We keep it moving, and you hear from us before you have to ask.

  3. You pay one flat fee at closing.

    Nothing up front. The fee comes out of escrow when the sale closes, and it's set by what the house sells for, not by how long it takes or how much work it turns out to be.

Fair question

Sound too good to be true?

A flat $12,500 listing fee under $1 million, or $19,500 for every whole million of sale price from $1 million up. That's the whole price.

How can the fee be this low?

We do the job well and we'd like to do it a lot. The price is set for volume: more houses at a fair number, and nobody here needs to make a killing on yours. There's also no showroom office to pay for, so the fee doesn't have to carry a lease and a floor of desks.

Does the fee go up with the price?

In steps, not as a percentage. One fee under a million, then a flat figure for every whole million of sale price. A bigger house pays more, but never a share of what it's worth. The worked examples are on the flat fee page. See the steps

What's not included?

Nothing. All 14 services we publish run on every listing we take, from photography and the MLS through to escrow and closing. See the list

When do I pay?

At closing, out of escrow. Nothing up front. The flat fee sits on your settlement statement where a percentage would have been.

Do I still pay a buyer's agent?

Yes, and you choose what to offer. Our selling examples assume a 2 percent buyer-side offer. Raise it or lower it and the savings move with it.

Despite being a flat fee agent we never once felt we got less service than a traditional brokerage and service.
