How Can We Offer Such Large Savings?
Our 1.5% listing commission delivers huge savings to our clients. See savings tables. And if you are at present only looking to purchase a home you can take advantage of our Buyer’s Bonus Rebate and save thousands on closing costs.
How can we afford to offer these savings to you?
Here’s how. First off, we are a virtual company that makes use of today’s technology to streamline the home sale process, leveraging new digital tools to conduct transactions faster and with more efficiency than in the past.
Secondly, we are not burdened with the many expenses our competitors have. We don’t spend thousands of dollars on office space, or millions on extensive advertising campaigns to promote our company. We don’t pay franchise fees to a national company and we don’t spiff our agents with cash, cars, conventions or vacations.
The bottom line: we operate at far less costs than our competitors. So you’re charged a lower commission and no junk fees, but still receive complete professional representation and full MLS and Internet exposure.
Huge savings, professional service, marketing know how.
- No additional Realtor® junk fees
- Complete, professional representation
- Full MLS and Internet exposure

Topic | Client First Realty | 1Real Estate Industry | Conclusions |
2Listing commission | As low as a $1,000 flat fee. 1.5% if selling only. | Varies: 3%, sometimes 2.5% | Why not keep more money in your pocket? |
Additional fees | None | You might be charged: Transaction fee, Document Storage fee, Legal fee. | Already overcharged, why should you pay even more? |
National franchise fees | None | Can be 6% to 8% of the commission paid to broker. | Another reason you likely pay a 6% or 5% total commission. |
Agent perks | None | Perks from brokers: prizes, vacations, cash, award dinners, trips to conventions. | You ultimately pay for these in commissions and fees. |
Conducting business | A virtual office | Expensive office space and all the associated expenses. | Reasons to charge more. Why not meet your agent at your home instead of an office? |
Technology & the Internet | Integrated into daily business operations | Also used in daily business operations, but… | Unlike many industries that have reduced client costs by using the Internet, real estate brokers still charge 5 or 6 percent. Why? |
1. Not all real estate brokers charge all of these fees, but it is smart to ask before you sign a contract.
2. Real estate commission is not set by law and can be negotiated by the seller and real estate broker. Amounts shown are for Listing fees only and do not include compensation for the buyer’s agent.
