The question "who charges the lowest real estate commission?" misses the point. The real question is: how much of the commission do you actually keep? In 2026, the answer depends on whether your agent charges a percentage or a flat fee — and the math overwhelmingly favors flat fees.
The Simple Math Most Agents Don't Want You to See
Traditional agents charge 2.5-3% of the sale price. On a $600,000 home, that's $15,000-$18,000. Even "discount" agents at 1.5% take $9,000. ShopProp's flat fee? $2,995.
| Home Price | Traditional (2.5%) | Discount (1.5%) | ShopProp | You Save |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $400,000 | $10,000 | $6,000 | $1,995 | $8,005 |
| $600,000 | $15,000 | $9,000 | $2,995 | $12,005 |
| $800,000 | $20,000 | $12,000 | $3,995 | $16,005 |
| $1,000,000 | $25,000 | $15,000 | $4,995 | $20,005 |
| $2,000,000 | $50,000 | $30,000 | $7,995 | $42,005 |
