Buyer’s agent compensation is optional and the seller’s choice. If offered, it sits on top of the 5K listing-side fee and is paid at closing.

The 5.5% figure is an example of what sellers once commonly budgeted. Broker fees are negotiated now. They are not set by NAR, Canopy MLS, or any required rate. The 5K figure is the listing side only.

Why work with 5K Realty

I opened 5K Realty to do the work without the usual percentage commissions. Full service. Same work. More equity left for the seller. The builder years are the useful part: pricing a home so it sells is the job.

The fee

$5,000 or 1%, whichever is greater, paid at closing. Full Canopy MLS listing, professional photos, contracts, and negotiation, start to close. A buyer’s agent commission is optional and up to you. The savings are still significant next to a more traditional listing, and each plan is tailored to the home.

The background

Licensed since 2004. More than 20 years with builders and developers. I spent years representing big builders on new construction pricing, so pricing is where I start. We talk through a realistic high and low range, then set the list price based on your goals and timeline.
