What does an agent make on a $500,000 sale? Example math: the listing fee has traditionally been 2 to 3 percent of the sale price. At 2.5 percent that's $12,500, paid out of your proceeds at closing. Every fee is negotiable. There's another option, a full-service flat fee: the agent does everything, market, price, list, negotiate, close, and the fee is a number instead of a percentage. Net Gain Realty, $1,995 through December 31. Run your own number, calculator in bio. It's your equity. Keep it.

Sell a $600,000 home, walk away with $150,000, and $15,000 of it goes to the listing fee.

Example math: the listing fee has traditionally been 2 to 3 percent of the sale price. 2.5 percent of $600,000 is $15,000, and it is paid out of your $150,000. That is 10 percent of your money. That number is your fee-to-equity ratio: your listing fee divided by your equity.

That's why I built a full-service flat fee: the agent does everything, market, price, list, negotiate, close, and the fee is a number instead of a percentage. Net Gain Realty, $1,995 through December 31. On the same $150,000, that's about 1.3 percent. Every fee is negotiable.

$30,875 in commission. For 5 days on the market.

In March, the median Wicker Park single family home sold for $1,232,500. Under
contract in 5 days. At full asking price.

Buyers found it online. The market set the price. And at 2-3%, the seller
potentially handed over $30,000 for a week of market time.

When a home sells itself in 5 days, paying a percentage of $1.2 million
doesn't make sense.

Net Gain Realty charges $1,995 to list your home. Not a percentage of your
equity.

A guy in Florida just sold his house with ChatGPT.

Five offers. Seventy-two hours. No agent.

He didn't even have MLS access. Just public data, a lawyer, and AI.

Every agent has access to better tools than he used. The full MLS. Every sold comp. Every price band breakdown.

And they're still charging 2-3% to list your property.

I built a tool that finds the exact price band where homes sell fastest. I've run it across 29 Chicago neighborhoods.

Mokena — 3 days, above asking.
Jefferson Park — 5 days, above asking.
Lincoln Park — 7 days, above asking.

That's what $1,995 pays for. Getting the band right on day one, plus professional photos, negotiation, full service from list to close.

The 6% commission survived the internet. I don't believe it survives this.

Commission rates vary by brokerage and are fully negotiable.

Three months of mortgage payments. Carrying costs. Stress. Then they dropped the price anyway.

26% of Orland Park listings have already cut. Those sellers sat for 98 days
before admitting the number was wrong.

Meanwhile, the $300-$350K band. Nine homes. Six days. Full asking.

Go up one band, 24 days. Go up again, 29 days. Every $50K above $350K, the
longer it sits.

They didn't have bad houses. They were in the wrong band on day one.

I built a tool that finds the band before you list. Six days or 98. The band
decides.

Naperville. $750K to $800K. Twelve days. Full asking.

Twenty homes did the same thing last quarter in that one band. But 19% of
active listings already cut their price. Those sellers waited 94 days before
making the move.

Same town. Same quarter. The difference is the band they listed in on day one.

I built a tool that pulls actual sold data and shows you which band is moving
and which one's sitting. Most sellers don't see this breakdown until after
they've already listed.

New Lenox. $515K. 3 days on market.

4 bed, 3.5 bath, pool, finished basement. Sold $5K over asking.

Traditional commission on this home: $10,000 to $15,000.
What this seller paid: $1,995 flat fee.
What stayed in their pocket: $10,800.

Same MLS. Same apps. Same buyers. Different math.

Every neighborhood has different numbers. See yours free at the link in bio

A seller in Florida used ChatGPT to price his home, market it, and sell it in
5 days. Five offers in 72 hours. No agent.

Everyone in the comments is asking the same thing. "What about the pricing?"

That's the whole point. Pricing is what AI does best. I built a tool that
pulls actual sold data and finds the exact price band where homes are moving
fastest.

MLS listing. Professional photos. Showing coordination. Attorney-managed
closing. $1,995 flat.

I believe my fee reflects a new reality. He proved one person can do it. I
built something so you don't have to.

Commission rates vary by brokerage and are fully negotiable.
