As agent commission structures shift after the 2024 NAR settlement, homeowners nationwide are questioning the traditional 5–6% listing fee model. Enter the 1% listing broker—a professional who delivers full MLS exposure, modern marketing, and negotiation support, but at only 1% (or flat-fee) commission.

Here, we profile five agents redefining how homes sell across the country — featuring Florida and Texas powerhouses Stephen Eaton and Chevon Eaton, alongside three vetted competitors with real-world success.
