Commission Savings Calculator
A traditional listing agent charges 2.5–3% of your sale price. A flat-fee agent's number doesn't move with the price. Plug in both — see the difference in dollars.
Manaky Homes does not set agent fees. Use the calculator with any flat-fee offer you've received or are evaluating.
Buyer's-agent commission (typically 2–3%, paid to whoever represents the buyer) is a separate decision and not included here. See the Net Proceeds Estimator for the full picture.
Why "3%" hurts more on expensive homes
A percentage commission scales linearly with price — but the work of listing a $700K house and a $1.7M house isn't 2.4× different. Photography, MLS entry, disclosures, negotiation, and closing coordination are roughly the same lift. That's why a flat fee makes more sense as prices rise.
What's not included in the comparison
- Buyer-agent commission. Many sellers still offer 2–3% to attract showings. That's separate from the listing fee.
- WA excise tax (REET). See the REET calculator — paid to the state, not to any agent.
- Title, escrow, recording, and prep costs. Standard third-party costs, not commission.
"What's the agent's scope?" matters more than the number
Two flat-fee agents quoting the same $4,000 can offer wildly different services — one writes the offers and runs negotiation, one only puts your home on the MLS. Always ask for a written scope of services before signing. Agent profiles on Manaky Homes will publish that scope as a required field.
