Why Percentage Commissions Cost More

Most low commission agents still charge 1%–1.5%. On a $1.5M home, that's $15,000–$22,500. ShopProp's flat fee of $5,995 saves you $9,000–$16,500 more.

ShopProp uses a managing broker model. Rob Luecke personally oversees every transaction across all 8 states — the same representation whether your home costs $300K or $10M.

Three Questions to Find the True Lowest Commission

  1. Flat fee or percentage? Percentages always cost more as prices rise.
  2. What's included? Some flat fee services are MLS-only. ShopProp includes full managing broker representation.
  3. Who handles your deal? At ShopProp, it's the managing broker — not a junior agent.
