The Process

Four Steps. Full Service. Flat Fee.

Everything a traditional agent does — every offer, every negotiation — for a fixed fee that never inflates with your purchase price.

01

Sign the Flat-Fee Agreement

Your BRBC states your flat fee tier — $7,250 or $9,250 — as the maximum Roman will ever earn. Full transparency before the first showing.

02

Tour With a Showing Agent

Showings are coordinated across LA County and Orange County. A licensed showing agent accompanies you as needed so you can evaluate each property thoroughly before making a decision.

03

Win With Strategy

22 years of SoCal market experience behind every offer. Comp analysis, competitive terms, and negotiation — 100% aligned to your interests.

04

Close & Keep Your Credit

The excess commission is written into your RPA as a closing cost credit — documented, disclosed upfront, and yours at closing.

About Roman

22 Years. One Mission. Your Advantage.

Roman Doktorovich has been representing buyers across Southern California since 2002 — through the 2008 crash, the recovery, the pandemic surge, and now the post-NAR settlement transformation. That depth of experience translates directly into sharper offer strategy, stronger negotiations, and fewer surprises in escrow.

After years at Redfin, Roman launched his independent flat-fee practice with one conviction: buyers deserve full professional representation without a commission structure that earns agents more when buyers spend more. The flat fee eliminates that conflict entirely.

You work directly with Roman — not an assistant, not a coordinator, not a team. One experienced agent, one flat fee, every time.

FAQ

Everything You Need to Know

What are the two flat fee tiers?
Roman charges $7,250 for homes priced under $1,500,000 and $9,250 for homes at or above $1,500,000 — across all of Los Angeles County and Orange County. Both tiers include identical full buyer representation.
How does the closing cost credit work?
When the seller's offered commission exceeds Roman's flat fee, the difference is negotiated into your RPA as a seller concession — a closing cost credit reducing your out-of-pocket costs at closing. On a $1M home at 2.5%, that credit is $17,750. Roman always discloses the exact amount before any offer is written.
Do I get full service at both tier levels?
Yes. Both tiers include home showings as needed, offer writing, negotiation, full disclosure review (TDS, SPQ, natural hazard, HOA where applicable), and complete escrow and closing coordination.
What if the seller offers less than the flat fee?
In the rare case a seller offers less than the flat fee, you pay the difference. This is always disclosed clearly in writing before any offer is submitted — no surprises at closing, ever.
Is the closing cost credit taxable income?
The credit is structured as a seller concession in your purchase contract — generally not considered taxable income by the IRS. For tax-specific guidance, please consult your CPA.
How does this work after the 2024 NAR settlement?
The NAR settlement requires buyers to sign a written BRBC before touring homes. Roman's flat-fee agreement satisfies this requirement exactly. The settlement made flat-fee models more advantageous than ever for buyers.
Which cities does Roman serve?
Roman serves all of Los Angeles County and Orange County — 50+ cities including Studio City, Glendale, Pasadena, Burbank, Sherman Oaks, Encino, Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Brentwood, Pacific Palisades, Manhattan Beach, Torrance, Long Beach, Irvine, Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, Mission Viejo, Laguna Beach, and many more.
Is Roman Doktorovich licensed in California?
Yes. Roman Doktorovich holds California real estate license DRE #01441969 with 22 years of Southern California experience. He is brokered under Real Brokerage Technologies Inc. and is fully compliant with all California real estate laws and 2024 NAR settlement requirements.
