Denver's real estate market has shifted. Home prices remain strong, but sellers are looking for ways to keep more of their equity at closing. Flat fee real estate is the answer — but not all flat fee services are created equal.
Denver Flat Fee Options Compared
Colorado has several flat fee services, but most fall into two categories:
- MLS-only services ($95-$500) — list your home on the MLS and that's it. No negotiation, no contract review, no closing support.
- Full-service flat fee ($4,995+) — everything a traditional agent does, but at a fixed price instead of a percentage.
ShopProp offers full-service representation for sellers starting at $4,995. For buyers, our flat fee starts at $1,995. Every transaction is handled by a managing broker — not handed off to a new agent.
Denver Savings Breakdown
On a typical $650,000 Denver home:
- Traditional listing agent (2.5-3%): $16,250-$19,500
- ShopProp full-service flat fee: $4,995 — save $11,255 to $14,505
For Denver buyers, the savings are even more compelling. On a $650K purchase with a traditional 2.5% buyer agent commission ($16,250), ShopProp charges $3,995 flat — putting $12,255 back in your pocket as a rebate at closing.

Why Denver Buyers Should Act Now
Colorado is one of the states where buyer rebates are fully legal. That means the difference between ShopProp's flat fee and the traditional buyer agent commission goes directly back to you at closing — as cash or applied to closing costs.
As cited by NPR and the Brookings Institution, flat-fee brokerages are reshaping how Americans buy and sell homes. Denver's market is ready for this shift.
