Flat Fee Real Estate Listing
Never pay a real estate agent 6% to sell your home again.
HOW A FLAT FEE BROKERAGE WORKS
A flat fee Listing is selling a home is like every other Real estate transaction you can do with a big-name, high overhead, exorbitantly overpriced company. The Listing Pad’s Flat Fee Listing is done for an upfront set price versus a percentage of the sales price. The old days of 6% commissions will be a thing of the past. The future is a low flat fee with service you can count on.
The Listing Pad is a Brokerage with the same licensing as these Big overpriced companies with the same MLS, feeding the same websites. We all have the same access to the same sales contract paperwork. We can hire thousands of agents to bring in their friends and family’s business and capitalize off them, but we choose not to.
The Listing Pad is different because we are a family-owned business, and you are Dealing with & represented by the Owner/Broker Directly. Thus, effectively cutting out the added expense of the middleman. Our overhead is low and our desire to get rich off taking advantage of others doesn’t exist.

FAQS
The reason most folks like the flat fee is because they know what to expect and pay much less Commission. Clients of The Listing Pad save on average over $6,000, while many save upwards of $20,000.
The Percentage concept seems good ideally; The more the agent sells the house for – the more the agent and the buyer receive, creating a Win-Win.
The main issue with this idea is that the percentage is such for the agent that $10,000 more for the homeowner amounts typically to only $300 in extra commission for the agent. (Based on 3% buyer and 3% seller commission) I would hope that the duty of the agent would compel what is best for the client unfortunately not everyone is of the same moral compass.
The answer lies in the fact that they always have been able to ask 6% so why stop now? In-fact there are federal laws against Price fixing because many Brokers in the old days tried exactly that.
