A flat fee listing is when you pay a fixed amount to list your home instead of a percentage-based commission. Instead of paying 2.5-3% of your sale price to the listing agent (which could be $25,000-$30,000 on a $1 million home), you pay a flat fee from $1,995 (MLS-Only) or $4,995 (full service).
Flat Fee vs Traditional Commission
Traditional agents charge a percentage of your sale price — typically 2.5-3% for the listing side. On a $1 million home, that's $25,000-$30,000. A flat fee listing charges a fixed amount regardless of price. ShopProp full-service listings start at $4,995; MLS-Only from $1,995.
Full-Service vs MLS-Only
Flat fee services come in two flavors: MLS-only (you handle showings and negotiations yourself) or full-service (agent handles everything). ShopProp offers both: MLS-only from $1,995 and full-service from $4,995.
What's Included in Full-Service?
ShopProp's full-service flat fee includes: professional photography, MLS listing, marketing, showing coordination, offer negotiation, contract management, and managing broker oversight through closing.
The Catch with Some Flat Fee Services
Some flat fee services cut corners — no support after listing, hidden fees, or inexperienced agents. ShopProp is a licensed full-service brokerage with managing broker oversight on every transaction. You get real support, not just a listing.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a flat fee listing?
A flat fee listing is when you pay a fixed amount to sell your home instead of a percentage commission. ShopProp charges a flat fee from $1,995 (MLS-Only) or $4,995 (full service) compared to traditional agents who charge 2.5-3% of sale price.
What's the difference between MLS-only and full-service?
MLS-only listings put your home on the MLS but you handle showings and negotiations yourself. Full-service includes agent support for the entire process. ShopProp offers both options.
Do flat fee listings sell for less?
No. Homes listed by flat fee brokerages sell at the same prices as traditional listings because they appear identically on the MLS and to buyers. The only difference is how much you pay the listing agent.
What about the buyer's agent commission?
You still typically offer a commission to buyer's agents (usually 2-2.5%) to incentivize them to show your home. This is separate from the listing fee.
