Save Thousands on Commission with Flat Fee & 1% Listings

đź’Ą How Flat Fee Steve Crushed a 6% Commission (And Saved the Day)

The Parkers were your average Florida couple—sun-loving, HOA-fearing, and ready to sell their home so they could move closer to Buc-ee’s in Texas. But when they met with a traditional real estate agent, they nearly fainted.

“$36,000 in commission?!” Mr. Parker shouted.
“That’s like… a new car. Or a backyard pool. Or 7,200 taquitos from Wawa!”

They were about to give up, resigning themselves to DIY FSBO doom—until a shadow passed over the driveway. A flat-brimmed hat caught the light. The scent of freshly printed MLS listings filled the air. And then, like a Texan-Floridian superhero, Flat Fee Steve appeared.

“Heard y’all were about to get mugged… by commission rates.”
“Who are you?” Mrs. Parker asked.
“Just a guy who believes in full-service real estate… for 1%,” he said, tipping his hat.

In under 24 hours, their listing hit the MLS. By day two, they had showings. On day three—a full-price offer.

They saved over $30,000. Bought a house in Austin. And yes—they got the taquitos.

Steve’s words still echo in the breeze:
“Another commission crushed. Another seller set free.”
