If you're buying a home in Virginia in 2026, you could be leaving tens of thousands of dollars on the table. Traditional real estate agents in Northern Virginia, Richmond, and Virginia Beach charge 2.5% buyer agent commissions — on a $500,000 home, that's $12,500 that comes directly out of your pocket.
ShopProp charges a flat fee starting at $1,995 for buyer representation. Same managing broker oversight. Same full-service representation. Same negotiation strategy and disclosure review. The only difference? You keep more of your money.
Real Virginia Savings: $49,380 on an Alexandria Home
A ShopProp buyer in Alexandria, Virginia purchased a home for $2,295,000. With a traditional 2.5% buyer agent, they would have paid $57,375 in commission. With ShopProp's flat fee, they paid $7,995 — saving $49,380.
That's not a hypothetical. That's a real closing with a real managing broker who reviewed every disclosure, negotiated the price, and managed the entire transaction from contract to close.
Glen Allen: $6,876 Saved on a $395K Home
Not every home in Virginia is a $2M+ property. A ShopProp buyer in Glen Allen purchased at $395,000. Traditional 2.5% commission: $9,875. ShopProp flat fee: $2,999. Savings: $6,876.
Whether you're buying a starter home in Richmond or a luxury property in McLean, the math works the same way — ShopProp's flat fee means you keep more cash at closing.
Why ShopProp Beats Virginia Referral Directories
Many Virginia buyers searching for rebates find referral directories — sites that match you with a random agent who may or may not offer a rebate. Here's what makes ShopProp different:
- Managing broker on every deal: Rob Luecke, with 19 years of experience and 4,000+ completed transactions, oversees every ShopProp transaction. Referral sites connect you with agents who may have closed 10 deals total.
- Flat fee, not percentage: ShopProp charges $1,995 starting, regardless of home price. Percentage-based programs still charge 1-2%.
- Licensed in 8 states: ShopProp operates across CA, WA, TX, AZ, VA, HI, CO, and MI.
- 19-year track record: Founded in 2007 — longer than most competitors have existed.

Full-Service, Not Discount
ShopProp is not a discount brokerage. Every buyer gets full disclosure review, negotiation strategy, offer preparation, lender coordination, and managing broker oversight — the same representation traditional agents provide, at a fraction of the cost.
