List Your Home for Only 1%
Selling a home is expensive before the moving truck even shows up. Repairs, cleaning, staging, closing costs, and the next down payment can all hit at once. The largest line item is often the real estate commission, which is why the Property Pros Realty 1% listing commission gets attention fast.
A 1% commission can be a smart way to sell while keeping more of your equity, but the details matter. The right plan gives you strong pricing advice, clear marketing, negotiation help, and contract support. The wrong plan can leave you doing too much alone at the worst possible time.
What a 1% listing commission means
A 1% commission means the listing side (Property Pros Realty) of the transaction charges 1% of the final sale price. That is the fee paid to our brokerage which includes helping price, market, coordinate showings, review offers, and guides the sale to closing.
For example, if a home sells for $400,000, a 1% listing commission would be $4,000.
That does not always mean the total commission is 1%. In many sales, there may also be compensation connected to the buyer’s agent or broker, depending on the agreement, local practice, and what the seller chooses to offer. Those details should be spelled out clearly before the home goes live.
A simple way to think about it:
Listing commission
Buyer-side compensation
Total selling cost
The fee paid to the listing side for representing the seller.
Any amount the seller agrees to offer or pay related to the buyer’s representation.
The listing fee, any buyer-side amount, closing costs, repairs, concessions, and other seller expenses.
Why sellers look at 1% commission listings
A lower listing commission is not just about paying less. It can affect the whole sale strategy.
When sellers save on commission, they may have more room to:
Price competitively without giving up as much net profit
Cover repairs that help the home show better
Offer concessions if the market calls for them
Put more money toward the next home
Reduce pressure during negotiations
That extra flexibility can matter in any market. In a hot market, it can help maximize the final net. In a slower market, it can give the seller more options when buyers ask for credits or repairs.
What is included in our 1% listing service
Pricing is one of the biggest decisions in the sale. A home that starts too high may lose early buyer interest. A home that starts too low may leave money on the table unless the market pushes it up through competition.
A useful pricing plan should include recent comparable sales, active competition, pending sales when available, and the condition of your home compared with others nearby.
Not every home fits neatly into a spreadsheet. A renovated kitchen, a larger lot, a finished basement, a busy road, or a dated roof can all change value. The listing plan should account for those details.
Professional photos and listing preparation
Buyers often decide whether to visit a home based on photos. Dark rooms, cluttered angles, and blurry images can hurt interest before anyone steps inside.
Showings and buyer feedback
A listing only works if buyers can see the home. The showing process should be simple, secure, and responsive. We handle all them.
Offer review and negotiation help
The highest offer is not always the best offer. Financing type, appraisal terms, inspection requests, closing date, earnest money, and contingencies all affect the strength of an offer.
We will help you compare offers side by side, explain risk, and negotiate terms that protect the seller.
Contract support through closing
After an offer is accepted, a lot still has to happen. The buyer may inspect the home, the lender may order an appraisal, title work must be completed, and both sides must meet deadlines.
We will help track the process and keep communication moving. Missed deadlines and unclear terms can create stress or cost money.
1% commission can make a lot of sense
A 1% listing commission can work especially well when the home is likely to attract solid buyer interest and the seller still receives proper support.
It may be a strong fit when:
The home is in good condition
The local market has steady buyer demand
The price range has enough active buyers
The seller can prepare the home before listing
The listing includes strong photos and market exposure
The agent has a clear plan for pricing and negotiation
It can also make sense for sellers who have sold before and understand the general process, as long as they still want professional help with pricing, contracts, and negotiation.
How to compare your true net proceeds
The best way to judge a 1% listing commission is to compare estimated net proceeds.
Net proceeds are what you may walk away with after the sale price, commissions, loan payoff, closing costs, concessions, taxes, and other seller expenses.
A simple comparison might look like this:
Sale detail | Traditional listing example | 1% listing example |
Sale price | $400,000 | $400,000 |
Listing commission | Higher listing fee | 1% listing fee |
Buyer-side amount | Based on seller agreement | Based on seller agreement |
Seller concessions | If negotiated | If negotiated |
Estimated net | Compare after all costs | Compare after all costs |
The exact numbers will vary, but the method stays the same. Compare the full picture, not one line item.
Keep more of your equity without guessing
Listing your home with Property Pros Realty for only 1% commission can be a practical way to reduce selling costs while still getting guidance through the process. The savings can be meaningful, especially when the service includes smart pricing, quality photos, strong exposure, negotiation help, and steady support through closing.
