A recent Consumer Policy Center report confirms what savvy sellers have known for years: low-fee real estate brokers can deliver the same results as traditional agents — for a fraction of the cost.
The study examined brokers offering either flat-rate pricing or reduced commissions (1–2%), and found that many, such as Clever and Ideal Agent, met all criteria for quality service. That includes strong client reviews, in-person support, and successful transactions.
Even better? The data showed that reducing commissions from 3% to 1.5% didn’t hurt results. Sellers still closed deals efficiently — and saved thousands.
Yet concerns remain. In fact, 82% of sellers worry that lower commissions mean worse service. The evidence says otherwise. Transparent pricing and performance-based tools are helping flat-fee brokers prove that cost savings don’t require compromise.
