Flat Fee Broker FAQ: Realtor Commission In California

Commission Is Negotiable. Many Listing Brokers Still Charge 2.5–3% — On A $500,000 Home, That's $12,500–$15,000 Just To List. Premier Advantage Lists For 1/2% + $795 = $3,295. Same MLS Exposure. You Keep Up To $11,705 More.

Yes — And Most Sellers Are Never Told. Did Anyone Ever Tell You The Commission Is Negotiable? Until Now. Every Fee Is Negotiable, Including Ours: 1/2% + $795, No Minimum, No Sale, No Fee.

Since The NAR Settlement, Every Fee Is Negotiable And Buyer-Broker Compensation Is Agreed Upfront In Writing — Not Set On The MLS. Many Agents Still Ask 2.5–3% Per Side. The Smart Move Is The Same As Ever: Ask, Compare, Negotiate.

At Traditional Rates, $12,500–$15,000 Per Side — Up To $30,000 Total. Premier Advantage's Listing Fee: $2,500 + $795. Same Exposure. You Keep The Difference.

There Is No Standard Rate — That's The Point. Many Agents Quote 2.5–3% Per Side, But Every Number Is Negotiable. If An Agent Tells You The Rate Is "Standard" Or "Set," Ask Them To Put That In Writing.

The Listing Commission Pays Your Agent To Sell Your Home. The Buyer Commission (If You Offer One) Compensates The Buyer's Agent. Since The NAR Settlement, You Negotiate Each Separately — You Are Not Required To Offer Any Fixed Amount To A Buyer's Agent.

No. You Decide What — If Anything — To Offer A Buyer's Agent, And You Negotiate It Before Listing. Many Of Our Sellers Offer A Competitive Amount To Attract Buyers While Still Saving Tens Of Thousands On The Listing Side.

On A $1,000,000 Sale: A Traditional 3% Listing Fee Costs $30,000. Premier Advantage Charges 1/2% + $795 = $5,795. You Keep $24,205. Our Sellers Have Kept $262,455 Across 11 Verified Sales. One Recent Example: Tuscan Grove, Camarillo — Our Seller Kept $49,205.

You Get Full MLS Exposure, Syndication To Zillow, Realtor.com And Homes.com, Professional Pricing Strategy, Negotiation, And A Live-Person Transaction Auditor Who Tracks Every Document For California DRE Compliance.

Many Agents Still Ask 2.5–3%. There Is No Law Setting Any Rate. The Only "Standard" Is What Sellers Stop Questioning.

1/2% Of The Sale Price + $795. No Minimum. No Upfront Cost. No Sale, No Fee. That Is The Entire Listing Fee — Not A Teaser, Not A Tier.
