WHAT EACH MODEL EMPHASIZES
KAT centers the offer on one full-service seller package, with professional photography included and the listing fee split between signing and closing.
Compare carefully:
How much do you value the fixed fee and included photography at your expected sale price?
Eaton’s 1% full-service fee scales with the sale price and is due at closing only if sold. Sellers who want to stay DIY can instead choose $99 or $499.
Compare carefully:
Do you want full representation, or would an MLS-only option fit your sale better?
PRICING CHECKED OCTOBER 1, 2026
KAT pricing and features were checked against KAT Realty’s official Flat Fee Seller page. Its published base fee is $5,999, with $600 due after signing and higher-price adjustments beginning above $900,000. Eaton pricing reflects the current plans on this site.
This button opens KAT Realty’s website.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
No. KAT currently states that $600 is due after signing the listing agreement and the remaining balance is due at closing. The $600 is part of the $5,999 total and is non-refundable if the seller cancels after the photography and marketing cost is incurred.
At $599,900. Below that sale price, 1% is numerically below $5,999; above it, 1% is numerically higher before considering KAT’s published higher-price adjustments.
KAT advertises professional photography as included. Eaton’s standard 1% plan treats photography separately, although a limited promotion may include it on qualifying listings.
No. Buyer-agent compensation, if offered, is separate and negotiable.
