September 2026 has been ShopProp's strongest month yet for buyer savings. Fifteen closings across California, Washington, and Texas totaled $21.4 million in transaction volume — with buyers keeping $440,708 that would have gone to traditional agent commissions.

Biggest September Closing: $3.5M in Cupertino — $79,505 Saved
A buyer in Cupertino purchased a home on Fallenleaf Lane for $3,500,000. A traditional 2.5% buyer agent commission would have been $87,500. ShopProp's flat fee: $7,995. The buyer walked away with $79,505 more at closing.
That single transaction saved more than many families earn in a year — and the buyer received the same managing broker oversight, disclosure review, and negotiation strategy as every other ShopProp client.

September by the Numbers
| State | Closings | Volume | Total Saved | Avg Savings |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| California | 11 | $17,995,000 | $375,750 | $34,159 |
| Washington | 3 | $2,701,500 | $52,890 | $17,630 |
| Texas | 1 | $662,500 | $12,068 | $12,068 |
| Total | 15 | $21,359,000 | $440,708 | $29,380 |
How the Math Works
Traditional buyer agents charge 2.5% of the home price. On a $1.75M home, that is $43,750. ShopProp charges a flat fee starting at $1,995 — regardless of how much the home costs. The difference goes back to the buyer as a rebate at closing.
On September's 15 transactions alone, the gap between traditional commissions and ShopProp's flat fees was $440,708. That money went to the buyers — not to agent commissions.
