Flat Fee Real Estate

03/22/2026

There are companies out there that guarantee to charge the lowest commission. We challenge any firm to match our flat fee of $3,800 for every client.

We charge $3,800 for every seller regardless of the price of the home and we charge $3,800 for every buyer regardless of the price of the home.

We won't provide false and hollow guarantees like others, but we will guarantee that we are the only full service firm that does not charge any client, whether buyer or seller, more than $3,800.

Before you sign up with an agent ask if they can match our $3,800 challenge.

At Flat Fee we believe that agent fees should be as transparent as possible and that buyers and sellers should know what agent fees will cost them before signing an agreement with an agent. For these reasons we support this lawsuit (as well as the recent other lawsuits against the Realtors) and hope that it makes firms more transparent about the high fees they charge buyers and sellers. At Flat Fee our clients always pay the same low flat fee of $3,800 which makes us more transparent and fairer than most Realtors whose fees tend to vary based upon the price of the home. We hope that Zillow and the Realtors will join us in providing consumers with more transparency when it comes to who pays and how the fees are included in the sale price of the home. Thank you.

The law firms that filed one of the original class-action lawsuits challenging real estate commissions nationwide have a new target: Zillow.

Buyers now have more bargaining power than ever when hiring a real estate agent. Because the Realtors were forced to settle antitrust allegations against them, the buyer agent commission will no longer be set in advance by the listing agent and built into the price of the home. Buyers can now negotiate lower fees with their agent and then offer sellers less money for homes. By stripping the fees out of the price of the home, buyers will pay less and have greater leverage over their own agent. They will also know that the agent is looking out for their best interest and not the best financial interest of the agent.

Selling a home in Vermont just became more affordable. Because the Realtors were forced to settle antitrust allegations against them, sellers will no longer need to offer commission to buyer agents. The settlement requires buyers to sign agreements prior to seeing a home and in those agreements promise to pay their own agent's fee. Not only will removing the buyer agent fee make it more affordable, but sellers will no longer need to offer their own agent more if the buyer does not have an agent. This has always been the way Flat Fee has operated. We charge $3,500 to sell a home. There are no other fees or hidden charges. Contact us today to learn more.

On July 15, 2024, the Vermont based MLS system will change its rules based upon a settlement by the National Association of Realtors in a lawsuit brought by consumers claiming violations of antitrust laws. In addition to the $400 million in damages the Realtors paid, they agreed to prohibit the MLS from including commissions for real estate agents. The new rules also require a buyer to sign a buyer agency agreement under Vermont's Real Estate Commission rules before an agent can show them a home. We believe this is a very positive development for both buyers and sellers as it will strip the buyer agent fees out of the price of the home and allow buyers to negotiate lower fees with agents. Flat Fee has always believed in a more transparent system and that is why we have always charged a flat fee for our buyer services. We understand that buyers do not have to hire an agent but if they do the fees should be affordable. Our flat fee for buyer representation is $3,500, the same fee cited in this story.

Despite many past assurances to the contrary, buyer agent services were never free. Buyer agent fees were included in the price the buyer paid for the home.

Now with this settlement buyer agent fees will no longer be included in the price of the home. Buyers will pay a lower price for the home and if they want buyer agent representation they will negotiate the fees directly with their own buyer agent.

We welcome this change because we believe that our buyer agent fee of $3,500 is one of the lowest if not the lowest in Vermont. Most firms charge 2.5% - 3% of the purchase price for the same services we provide, which we believe is much too high for the value being provided.

We look forward to more transparency for buyers and for buyers to finally after decades of paying inflated buyer agent fees to pay a fair price for the services provided.

The 6% commission, a standard in home purchase transactions, is no more.
