A traditional listing agent charges 2.5–3% to sell your flip, which eats straight into your margin right when the project is finished. I list flipped and renovated properties for a flat fee — priced off after-repair comps, staged and photographed fast, and on the MLS within days of your final walk-through.
A flip listing isn't like listing someone's home. Pricing, staging, and timeline all work differently — and a flat fee means the listing cost doesn't climb with your sale price the way a percentage commission does.
Comps are pulled against similarly renovated properties, not the pre-rehab condition or personal value the seller places on the home.
No move-out to coordinate. Staging, photography, and MLS go-live can often happen within days of final inspection sign-off.
Whether the flip sells for $500K or $1.5M, the listing fee doesn't scale up — unlike a 2.5–3% listing commission.
The real savings show up when you use a flat fee on the way in and the way out. On a $650,000 acquisition and a $780,000 resale, here's roughly what stacking both sides looks like versus paying traditional commission on each.
| Side | Traditional 2.5–3% | Flat Fee |
|---|---|---|
| Buy ($650,000) | $16,250 | $7,250 |
| Sell ($780,000) | $19,500–$23,400 | $7,250 |
| Total commission cost | $35,750–$39,650 | $14,500 |
Illustrative only. Actual figures depend on purchase price, resale price, and seller-offered compensation on the buy side.
