On July 14, 2026, a ShopProp buyer closed on a brand-new construction home at 5728 160th St SW, Edmonds, WA 98026 — a stunning modern home priced at $1,719,995.
The buyer paid ShopProp flat fee of $4,995 and received a $29,404 rebate at closing. With a traditional agent charging 2.5%, the buyer would have paid approximately $43,000 in commission — and received nothing back.
The Math
- Sale price: $1,719,995
- Traditional 2.5% commission: $43,000
- ShopProp flat fee: $4,995
- Buyer rebate: $29,404
- Total savings vs traditional: $38,005
That is $38,005 the buyer kept in their pocket instead of paying a percentage-based commission.
Why New Construction Buyers Need a Managing Broker
New construction purchases come with unique challenges — builder contracts favor the builder, upgrade negotiations require market expertise, and warranty terms need careful review. ShopProp puts a managing broker on every transaction, not just a sales agent. That is 18 years of experience and over 4,000 completed transactions backing every deal.
Many buyers assume they will save money by going directly to the builder without an agent. In reality, builders price in the buyer agent commission regardless. With ShopProp, you get full representation AND the rebate.
