In March 2025, a ShopProp buyer closed on a $2,295,000 home at 7713 Tauxemont Rd in Alexandria, Virginia. The traditional agent commission would have exceeded $57,000. ShopProp's flat fee: $7,995. The buyer kept nearly $49,000.
That's not a marketing claim — that's a real closing in Northern Virginia where a real buyer paid a fraction of what their neighbors paid for identical agent services.
Why Virginia Buyers Overpay
Virginia's real estate market — especially Northern Virginia near DC — has some of the highest home prices on the East Coast. Arlington, Alexandria, McLean, and Great Falls routinely see homes selling above $1 million. Yet most buyers still pay the traditional 2.5% to 3% commission without questioning it.
On a $1.5 million home in McLean, that's $37,500 to $45,000 going to a buyer's agent. For what? The same MLS access you have on Zillow, a few showings, and paperwork that follows a standard template.

ShopProp vs Virginia Rebate Competitors
Several companies market buyer rebates in Virginia:
- FlatFeeGroup: Advertises 2% cash back for Virginia buyers. But 2% of a $500,000 home is $10,000 — and you don't know what their service fee is until you sign. ShopProp's fee is published: $2,995 on a $500K home, saving you $9,505.
- GoToFSBO: Primarily a for-sale-by-owner service. Buyer rebate is secondary and terms vary.
- MyRebateAgent: Percentage-based rebate. Less transparent than a published flat fee.
- GlassHouseRE: Fairfax-focused. Local but limited in coverage area.
- ShopProp: $1,995 to $7,995 flat fee based on home price. Full service with managing broker Rob Luecke (5,700+ transactions, $2B+ volume). Licensed in Virginia and 7 other states.

The Managing Broker Advantage
Every ShopProp transaction in Virginia is overseen by managing broker Rob Luecke. That means your offer, your disclosures, your inspection responses, and your closing documents are all reviewed by someone with 19 years of experience and 5,700+ closings — not a newly licensed agent still learning the forms.
Virginia's purchase contract, disclosure requirements, and HOA regulations are state-specific. A managing broker catches issues that less experienced agents miss.
