If you're buying a home in Texas right now, there's a good chance you're paying your buyer's agent 2.5% to 3% of the purchase price — and most buyers don't even realize it. On a $750,000 home in the Austin metro, that's $18,750 to $22,500 in agent commissions. For a service that hasn't fundamentally changed in decades.
At ShopProp, we charge a flat fee starting at $1,995 for buyer representation. Same MLS access. Same negotiation. Same closing support. You just keep more of your money.
A Real Texas Closing: Leander, $750,000
One of our recent Texas buyers purchased a home at 2204 Camino Alemeda in Leander, TX for $750,000. With a traditional 3% buyer's agent, they would have paid $22,200 in commission (typically baked into the price or paid out of pocket under the new rules). With ShopProp's flat fee, they paid $6,995 — saving $15,205.
That $15,205 went toward their down payment and closing costs instead of padding an agent's commission check.

Why Flat Fee Works for Texas Buyers
Texas is one of the fastest-growing real estate markets in the country. Cities like Austin, Dallas, Houston, and San Antonio see thousands of transactions every month. The median home price in Austin hovers around $450,000, which means a traditional 3% buyer commission costs $13,500. With ShopProp, that same buyer pays $1,995 to $4,995 depending on the price tier.
Here's what you get with ShopProp's flat fee:
- Full MLS access — every listing, every market
- Managing broker oversight — not a solo agent, a full brokerage behind you
- Offer preparation and negotiation
- Transaction coordination through closing
- 19 years of real estate experience — ShopProp has been operating since 2007
The only difference is the price. We don't charge a percentage of your home's value for work that costs the same whether the house is $300,000 or $3 million.
The NAR Settlement Changed Everything
After the 2024 NAR settlement, buyers are now directly responsible for negotiating and paying their agent's commission. This means the old model — where sellers quietly paid both agents — is gone. Buyers now see exactly what they're paying, and many are discovering for the first time that 3% is a lot of money for what they receive.
That transparency is driving buyers toward flat-fee alternatives like ShopProp. Why pay $22,000 when you can pay $6,995 for the same service?
