Bay Area real estate is expensive enough; why should buying your dream home also drain your savings in commissions? That’s where the power of a Flat Fee model comes in. Imagine getting full-service buyer representation while paying a fixed price instead of a steep percentage. Sounds too good to be true? Welcome to the modern era of home buying with flat fee buyer’s agents.
At Flat Fee Buyers, we believe buying a home shouldn’t cost you more than it should.
That’s why we created a smarter model: full-service buyer representation for a flat fee of $9,999. Yes, you read that right. No percentages. No surprises. Just real help for a flat fee.
In this post, we’ll break down why more and more Bay Area homebuyers are switching to flat fee realtors, how flat fee real estate services in San Francisco work, and what you can expect when you ditch traditional commissions for a smarter way to buy.
The Problem With Traditional Commission-Based Models
Buying a $1.5M home in San Francisco? Your traditional agent could be pocketing $37,500 (2.5%) in commission. That's money that could be in your bank account.
And guess what? You’re often getting the same services you would from a flat fee agent, just with a hefty price tag.
With Flat Fee Buyers, our flat fee real estate services in San Francisco mean you get the same expert negotiation, property support, and paperwork help, without overpaying.
Old Math:
$1.5M x 2.5% = $37,500
New Math:
$9,999 flat fee = Smarter Buying
