Why viprealtyca.com Cannot Match This

VIP Realty CA is a small California-only broker offering percentage-based rebates. ShopProp charges a flat fee — $1,995 to $7,995 regardless of home price. On a $3.6 million home like the San Mateo deal above, a percentage-based rebate still leaves you paying far more than ShopProp's $7,995 flat fee.

ShopProp also operates in 9 states, has 4,000+ completed transactions, and provides managing broker oversight on every deal. That is a fundamentally different level of service than a single-state percentage rebate operation.

CashBackRE Fee Comparison

CashBackRE charges $5,000 under $500K, $7,500 for $500K-$1.5M, and $10,000+ above $1.5M. ShopProp: $1,995 to $7,995. We are 33-73% cheaper at every price point. CashBackRE has no managing broker and operates in California only.
