Detailed Breakdown: The 1% Advantage

1. The Standard Real Estate Commission Breakdown

Traditionally, sellers pay a total of 5-6% in commission when selling a home. This is split between:

  • The listing agent (your agent) – usually 2.5-3%
  • The buyer’s agent – usually 2.5-3%

For example, on a $500,000 home, you would typically pay $25,000 – $30,000 in commission. That’s a significant chunk of your hard-earned equity.

At Fee Simple Realty, we reduce the listing agent’s fee to just 1%, meaning you only pay $5,000 to list your home instead of $12,500 – $15,000 with a traditional agent.

 

2. How Much You Save with Fee Simple Realty

Lower listing fees mean more money stays in your pocket.

The bigger the home price, the bigger your savings.

 

3. What You Still Get with Our Full-Service Model

Just because we charge less doesn’t mean we do less.

4. How We Keep Costs Low Without Cutting Corners
