Most buyers don't realize they're overpaying for representation. The standard 2.5% to 3% buyer's agent commission on a $750,000 home runs $18,750 to $22,500. On a $1.5 million home, that's $37,500 to $45,000. And what exactly are you getting for that money?
At ShopProp, we've been answering that question since 2007 — and proving that full-service buyer representation doesn't have to cost a percentage of your home's value.
What "Lowest Commission" Actually Means for Buyers
After the NAR settlement reshaped how buyer agents get paid, the question isn't just "who charges the least" — it's "who gives you real representation at a fair price." There's a difference between a discount service that hands you paperwork and a managing broker who's closed 4,000+ transactions across 8 states.
ShopProp's flat fee for buyers starts at $1,995 — regardless of the home's price. That same fee covers a $300,000 starter home and a $10 million estate. The difference between what you'd pay a traditional agent and what you pay ShopProp goes back to you as a rebate at closing.

Why the Managing Broker Matters
Rob Luecke has been ShopProp's managing broker for 19 years. He's personally involved in every transaction — reviewing disclosures, advising on bidding strategy, catching issues before they become problems. This isn't a call center routing you to the nearest available agent. It's a broker with 4,000+ closings making sure your deal goes right.
That level of oversight is what traditional agents charge $15,000+ for. ShopProp starts at $1,995.
