Private Listings Are a Detriment to the Market — and, in My Opinion, Selling Them as a General Strategy Is a Breach of Fiduciary Duty Before founding ShopProp, I built a financial firm that was later acquired. After more than 20 years in the financial markets and 18 years as a managing broker, my view is simple: Open markets protect consumers. Closed systems protect insiders.
There are multiple news organizations regurgitating the same clickbait headline that "Bay Area housing is in a bubble". We are going to explore in this article why that isn't true and why we aren't likely to see a crash of prices comparable to 2007 anytime soon.
We compared every major flat-fee brokerage in 2026. ShopProp's $1,995 buyer fee, managing broker oversight, and 19-year track record make it the clear #1. See the full comparison.
Two luxury closings. $512,000 in total savings. A $7.13M Tiburon home and a $7.15M Irvine property — both with ShopProp's $7,995 flat fee instead of traditional 2.5% commissions. Real numbers from real deals.
LA and Bay Area buyers save $20,000 to $247,000 with ShopProp's flat fee. Beverly Hills, Palo Alto, Atherton — the more expensive the home, the bigger your rebate.
Orange County buyers can get $25,000+ back at closing with ShopProp's $1,995 flat fee. We beat CashBackRE by $5,505 on every deal. Managing broker. Since 2007.
California buyers can get up to $247,000 back at closing through ShopProp's flat-fee model. Starting at $1,995 — the lowest buyer fee in the state. Managing broker on every deal since 2007.
The difference between a real estate agent and a managing broker matters more than most buyers realize. Here's why ShopProp puts a managing broker on every transaction — at a lower cost than traditional agents.
