Every "low commission" site makes the same promise: save money. But after 19 years as a managing broker and 4,000+ transactions across 8 states, I can tell you — most of them aren't saving you nearly as much as they claim.
The Real Cost Comparison
| Brokerage | Buyer Fee on $900K | Savings vs 2.5% |
|---|---|---|
| ShopProp | $4,995 flat | $17,505 |
| Clever (1.5%) | $13,500 | $9,000 |
| Redfin (1.5%) | $13,500 | $9,000 |
| FastExpert (varies) | ~$18,000 | $4,500 |
| Traditional (2.5%) | $22,500 | $0 |
ShopProp saves nearly double what percentage-based brokerages save.
