Traditional real estate commissions are typically 3% of your sale price for the listing side alone. On a $400,000 home, that's $12,000 out of your pocket — before you even factor in the buyer's agent commission. There's a better way.
How the Traditional Model Works (Against You)
In the traditional model, your listing agent earns a percentage of your sale price. That means a $350,000 home and a $450,000 home require nearly the same amount of work — but the agent on the higher-priced home earns $3,000 more. The fee isn't tied to effort. It's tied to your equity.
How the Flat Fee Model Works
At List 4 Less KC, you pay a flat $5,000 listing fee for homes under $500,000 (1% for homes above that). That's it. You get the same full-service representation — professional photography, MLS listing, expert pricing, negotiation, and transaction management — for a fraction of the traditional cost.
Real Numbers, Real Savings
- $300,000 home: Traditional fee ~$9,000 → List 4 Less KC fee $5,000 → Save $4,000
- $400,000 home: Traditional fee ~$12,000 → List 4 Less KC fee $5,000 → Save $7,000
- $500,000 home: Traditional fee ~$15,000 → List 4 Less KC fee $5,000 → Save $10,000
What You Don't Sacrifice
The flat fee model doesn't mean discount service. Neil Sickendick is a licensed, experienced agent operating through 395 Realty. You get the same MLS exposure, the same negotiation expertise, and the same guidance from contract to close. The only thing different is how much you pay.
The math is simple. Keep more of your equity. That's the magic of the flat fee model.
