Washington state buyers are paying some of the highest real estate commissions in the country. The median home in the Seattle metro area costs over $800,000, and a traditional 2.5% buyer agent commission on that is $20,000 or more. For homes in Bellevue, Kirkland, and Issaquah — where $1.3 million is normal — that commission hits $32,500.
ShopProp has closed 59 transactions in Washington state, and every single buyer paid a flat fee instead of a percentage. The savings are real, recent, and verifiable.

Why Seattle Area Buyers Are Overpaying
The Greater Seattle real estate market is one of the most competitive in the country. Homes in Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, and Issaquah regularly sell above asking price. At a traditional 2.5% buyer agent commission, a $1.4 million Renton home costs the buyer $35,475 just for representation. A $1.7 million Edmonds property means $43,000 in agent fees.
The work your agent does on a $400,000 Kirkland condo is nearly identical to what they do on a $1.7 million Edmonds house: tour homes, write offers, negotiate terms, coordinate inspections, and manage closing. But the percentage-based fee triples. That math has never made sense, and since the NAR settlement in August 2024, buyers are finally paying attention.
How ShopProp's Flat Fee Works in Washington
ShopProp charges a flat fee based on price tier — not a percentage of the sale price:
- Under $500K: $1,995
- $500K to $1M: $3,995
- $1M to $2M: $4,995
- $2M and above: $7,995
Every transaction is handled by Rob Luecke, a managing broker with 19 years of experience and over 316 closed transactions. Not a junior agent, not a referral to some random local agent. The managing broker handles your deal from offer to closing.
ShopProp has been licensed in Washington since inception and has closed 59 transactions across the state — from Seattle and Bellevue to Bothell, Kirkland, Renton, Issaquah, Edmonds, and beyond.
