Commissions Are Always Fully Negotiable
Not Set by Law, Rule, or Regulation
Our Approach
We don't require our sellers to set a buyer-agent commission in advance — we don't even ask for it. We believe buyer-agent commissions should be negotiated as part of an offer, not offered in advance, since they directly affect the seller's net proceeds the same way as any other term of a contract. We strongly suggest withholding any commission discussion or agreement until after you have an offer and can look at all the terms together — that's when you'll have every variable and every tool to negotiate.
Commissions Are No Longer in the MLS
Displaying an offer of commission in the MLS is now prohibited. Nevertheless, sellers can still offer a commission to the buyer's agent on a case-by-case basis — we strongly suggest negotiating commissions only after receiving an offer.
Buyer Agent Commissions
A buyer's agent who shows your property is required to have agreed, in writing, to a set commission to be paid by the buyer (a Buyer Broker Agreement). Nevertheless, buyers may ask the seller to cover their payment to their agent — this must be done as part of the offer.
Because we take a very small 0.25%, we ask our sellers to offer the commission accordingly so the out-of-pocket cost is the amount intended. When negotiating commissions, please reduce what you expect to pay by 0.25% (e.g., if you plan on paying 2% commission, only agree to 1.75% to the buyer's agent) .
If the Buyer Is Not Represented by an Agent,
There Is No Commission Due.

Why the MLS?
The Backbone of the Real Estate Market
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is real estate's "essential facility" — indispensable for practicing real estate. It's the exchange of information in the selling, buying, and renting of properties: a repository of all properties for sale (and rent), mostly owned by Realtor associations, that lets all its members publish and share information so listing agents, buyer agents, and consumers all work from one single source of accurate information. It's the backbone that built the fluid real estate market we have today.
It's strictly regulated by rules and regulations that we all must abide by, so everyone has a level playing field on which to compete and collaborate at the same time — bringing buyers and sellers together in the most efficient and effective way possible.
The MLS is also the data infrastructure from which property information flows onto the internet, feeding all the real estate portals (Homes.com, Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, etc.) and the websites of real estate brokerages and agents with search capabilities enabled.
To access the widest market possible and reach the most buyers available, the MLS is a must — and we have you covered.
FSBO?
For Sale By Owner, On Steroids
Our service is like a For Sale By Owner (FSBO) listing, but on "steroids" — you get all the control and individual negotiation FSBOs have, while we add the MLS, maximum exposure, and the marketing and resources a high-cost listing agent provides, at a modest charge.
Keep in mind that FSBOs can't be listed in the MLS — for that, you need a licensed broker who is a member of the MLS. This is where SnapFlatFee® comes in: we bring the two concepts together. While you perform as a FSBO, we're your listing broker, so the property is properly listed in the MLS, and we provide you with the tools and propagation across the internet for maximum exposure.
Traditional FSBOs fail because they lack the MLS and Realtor® tools and resources.

How We Do It
Inexpensive, Effective, and Efficient
We can keep it inexpensive yet highly effective and efficient, for simple reasons.
- It's a family-run business operation (even our dog helps)
- We are a laser-focused service with a flat organization structure
- We don't have a brick-and-mortar physical office to pay for
- We don't have huge billboards or flashy TV ads
- We don't have a corporate owner to funnel profits to
- We don't have agents to split commissions with
- We develop our technology infrastructure in-house
- Our customers are our greatest advertisers
ALL THESE SAVINGS WE PASS DOWN TO YOU
Right to Choose
Freedom of Choice, for Buyers and Sellers Alike
Even though we only work for sellers, we recognize a similar situation on the buyer side of the transaction: many buyers can't afford, don't want, or don't need a traditional buyer's agent. That's why we strongly advocate for buyers' rights and freedom to choose and decide for themselves whether to hire a buyer's agent, select the buyer's agent they wish, or not hire one at all.
If either party — buyer or seller — is forced or pressured in any way into using an agent, it distorts the market, disrupts the natural balance of supply and demand, creates unnecessary friction, and drives up costs for everyone.
We're committed to championing two core principles:
- 1. The right of buyers and sellers to choose how they engage in real estate transactions.
- 2. The economic benefits of saving on transaction costs — when buyers and sellers keep more of their hard-earned money, they often reinvest it into real estate, an economic multiplier with powerful benefits for everyone.
Ultimately, when the principle of freedom of choice is preserved, not only do buyers and sellers win, but our business thrives and continues to grow — and the free competition works as intended, where economic elements work unrestrained and a natural marketplace equilibrium is feasible.
Who We Are
A Small Team, Fully Focused on You
We're a happy, strong, hard-working team dedicated to serving our customers to the best of our abilities. Our broker has been licensed for more than 25 years, with experience on both sides of the transaction, and holds a business degree and a Master's in Electronic Commerce — bringing that education and experience together into one genuinely valuable service. The team stays energized through motivation and remote-work flexibility, keeping the family/work balance that's essential for real productivity and fresh ideas.
SnapFlatFee.com® offers a straightforward, simple yet highly efficient and effective service designed to bridge the gap between sellers and buyers, enabling direct negotiations between the most interested parties in any transaction. By fostering transparent communication, our goal is to help both sides create successful deals while keeping costs lower for everyone involved.
Our success as a business — along with our growth and expansion — rests on the success of these direct interactions.
We created this service because, after the last financial crisis, we noticed many sellers couldn't afford, didn't want, or didn't need a traditional listing agent. Yet they still needed the right tools — especially access to the MLS — to successfully sell their properties.
Our business model occupies that space in the market by giving sellers the exposure they need on the MLS without requiring them to pay for a full-service listing broker. The trade-off is simple: we provide an affordable and powerful service, while sellers handle some of the legwork — providing pictures, showing the property, negotiating offers, and coordinating their own closing.
This results in successful transactional relationships with dramatic savings.
We are always grateful for our customers:
"We exist because of you! … and we are deeply thankful for your business."
