A Phoenix buyer just closed on a home at 4260 E Vineyard Rd for $369,000 and paid $3,000 instead of the $9,225 a traditional agent would have charged. That is $6,225 back in their pocket at closing.
This happened on August 14, 2026, through ShopProp, a managing broker that charges flat fees instead of percentages.
How the Numbers Work in Phoenix
Traditional buyer agents in Phoenix charge 2.5% of the purchase price. On a $369,000 home, that is $9,225. ShopProp charged a flat $3,000 for the same full-service representation, including showing coordination, offer strategy, negotiation, inspection oversight, and closing support.
At higher price points the gap widens. A $610,000 home in Surprise, AZ closed with a ShopProp fee of $2,995 versus the $18,300 a traditional agent would have earned. That buyer kept $15,305.
Full-Service Broker, Not an MLS-Only Listing
Arizona has flat fee services, but most are listing-side only. They help sellers get on the MLS, then the buyer is on their own. ShopProp is a full-service managing broker on the buyer side. A licensed broker handles the transaction from first showing to final walkthrough. No referrals to random agents. Direct broker representation at a flat fee starting at $1,995.
As reported by NPR, USA Today, the New York Post, and Brookings Institution, the industry has been moving toward fee transparency since the NAR settlement. ShopProp has operated this way since 2007.
