To attract the most buyers, we recommend offering 2.5–3% to buyer’s agents. If Flat Five also represents the buyer (double-ended transaction), our buyer-side fee matches our listing fee (which doubles your savings).
Kent Slawson is also a licensed General Contractor — sellers get pre-listing guidance grounded in real construction knowledge, not market intuition. See the complete flat fee guide or how this differs from flat-fee MLS.
