Flat Rate Listing

$25,000

SAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS ON COMMISSIONS*

With a flat rate listing, a seller pays an agreed upon fixed commission amount instead of a percentage of the sales price.

Hi, I’m Ellis Posner. Over the last 20 years, I have sold more homes in Redondo Beach, CA than most other individual agents. And my clients love working with me. But don’t take my word for it, check out the reviews.

It always struck me as kind of odd (and outdated) that commissions have historically been based on a percentage of the final sales price. This has been particularly out of step in 2024 because it now costs agents less to effectively market homes than in years past. And with prices being higher these days, home sellers are paying more for basically the same services. That just doesn’t seem right to me.

With my hybrid flat rate listing offer, no matter what your home sells for, my fee as the listing broker is $25,000. (The buyer’s agent is compensated separately.)

With a hybrid flat rate listing, the compensation for the buyer’s agent is calculated separately and the buyer’s agent may be paid a percentage of the final sales price.

Just remember that as long as your home will sell for more than $1,000,000 (as most in Redondo Beach will) you are saving money. The higher your sales price, the more you save. If your Redondo Beach home will sell for less than $1M, the flat rate will be pro-rated as an adjustment but there is a minimum fee.

The reason I can offer lower rates than other South Bay agents is because I have a lower cost of doing business than the larger brokerages. I pass my savings on to my clients. It’s that simple.

And quite possibly I do more marketing than the higher priced agents. All listings include extensive media such as 3D Walkthroughs, cinematic videos, magazine quality photography and social media advertising.

The flat rate commission is paid at the close of escrow through the escrow or title company in the standard manner.

The Automated Valuation Model

Many websites use an Automated Valuation Model (AVM) to estimate home values of residential Real Estate.

AVMs use public data such as size and age of the home, location, room count, lot size and recent comparable sales to come up with a value. Your home may sell for more or less.

AVMs are not aware of whether you have recently updated your home or if it has other desirable amenities and features like a view. AVMs also do not know whether homes have deferred maintenance or if any of the sales used for comparison were distressed properties or not “arm’s length” transactions.

Real Estate Commissions Are Negotiable

BUT VERY FEW AGENTS TELL YOU THAT

The Truth About Listing

In California, any brokerage can sell the listings of any other brokerage.
Real Estate commissions are negotiable and not set by law.

Since almost all properties listed for sale wind up in the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) and are syndicated to 1000’s of websites worldwide, there is a level playing field between the big and small firms.

This means agents, not brokerages or technology, sell homes. As for the T.V. commercials you see, No one with my level of experience will list your home for as low a commission.

What Are You Paying For?

Most sellers believe that when they pay 5-6% to sell their home, it is for their agent’s time, and the expense of marketing the listing. But unfortunately, that is often not the reality of the situation.

Here’s where that money really goes.

As much as 30% of the commission the agent earns is “split” with the company. And some brokerages also have a “franchise fee” that is quite substantial and eats into the agent’s bottom line. None of this really helps sell your home. But as an independent Broker, I have a very low over head and I pass the savings on to my clients.
