It scales with price, not work
Selling a $2M home is not 4× the work of selling a $500K home. Our fees scale with the scope of work, not the price of the house.
Greater Seattle real estate
Flat fees. Big rebates. No percentage.
Traditional Seattle agents charge 5–6% commission. On a $1.5M home, that's $90,000. We charge transparent flat fees — and rebate most of the buyer-side commission back to you at closing.

Why we don't charge a percentage
Percentage commissions made sense in 1950. They don't make sense in the Seattle housing market of 2026, where the median home is over $850,000 and good information is no longer scarce.

It rewards fast deals over good deals
A 3% agent makes $30K whether your home sells in a day for $1M or in a month for $1.05M. Their incentive is volume; ours is your outcome.
3
It punishes you twice
When buying, the seller "pays" but it's baked into the price you finance for 30 years. A flat fee plus rebate gives that money back to you.
Pick a side. Pick a package.
Four seller packages from $0 to $7,995. Capped buyer fees with most of the seller-offered commission rebated to you at closing. Every fee is flat. Never a percentage.

See all seller packages →How it actually goes
No mystery. Three phases — start to close.
-
Phase 01
Strategy & setup
A real conversation about your timeline, budget, and what "a good outcome" looks like for you. Then we build the plan around that — not around our paycheck.
-
Phase 02
Execution
Tours, comps, offers, negotiations, listing launch — whatever your side of the table needs. We do the work; you keep the optionality.
-
Phase 03
Diligence & close
Inspections, appraisal, title, and escrow — all coordinated, all explained. We sit with you at signing and the final walkthrough.
What you'd actually save (selling)
A typical Seattle-area listing fee is 3% to the listing agent. Here's that 3% next to our flagship WA Homes Full — with Concierge for higher-end homes.
| Sale price | 3% commission | WA Homes fee | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $700,000 | $21,000 | $4,495 (Full) | $16,505 |
| $1,000,000 | $30,000 | $4,495 (Full) | $25,505 |
| $1,500,000 | $45,000 | $4,495 (Full) | $40,505 |
| $2,500,000 | $75,000 | $7,995 (Concierge) | $67,005 |
Illustrative. Sellers typically also offer a buyer's-agent commission; that is separate from our listing fee.
What you'd actually save (buying)
Sellers typically offer 2.5–3% to a buyer's agent. We take a flat capped fee and rebate the rest to you at closing — applied to closing costs, principal, or post-close cash (subject to lender rules).
| Home price | Seller-offered commission (2.5%) | WA Homes fee (cap) | Your rebate |
|---|---|---|---|
| $600,000 | $15,000 | $5,995 | $9,005 |
| $900,000 | $22,500 | $6,995 | $15,505 |
| $1,500,000 | $37,500 | $7,995 | $29,505 |
| $2,500,000 | $62,500 | $7,995 (flat) | $54,505 |
Illustrative — assumes seller is offering 2.5% buyer-agent commission. Actual rebate depends on what the seller offers and your specific transaction. Subject to lender approval.
Not the only flat-fee option. Different on purpose.
There are tiered services, salaried-agent brokerages, and FSBO platforms. Here's where we fit.
| WA Homes | Traditional 3% agent | Discount / online brokerage | FSBO | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay (selling) | $0–$7,995 flat | ~3% of sale price | 1–1.5% + tier upsells | ~$300 listing fee |
| What you pay (buying) | $1,995–$7,995 capped + rebate | Embedded in price you finance | Limited rebate | Self-managed |
| Pricing strategy | Real comps, real conversation | Same, but pay scales with price | Often algorithmic | You're on your own |
| Who you actually work with | A local broker, the same one, every call | Often a junior on the team | Whoever is on shift | No one |
| Incentive alignment | Aligned with your outcome | Aligned with sale speed | Aligned with upsells | Yours alone |
| Cancel anytime | Yes | Often locked into 6+ months | Varies | N/A |
Comparisons reflect typical industry structures, not specific brokerages. Confirm pricing and terms with any agent you hire.
Things people ask first
All questions →"Is this really the same service as a 3% agent?"
Yes — same MLS, same fiduciary duty, same scope of work in our Full and Concierge tiers. The smaller tiers (Free, Essentials) trade scope for price, with everything that's included clearly listed up front.
"How does the buyer rebate actually work?"
Seller offers 2.5–3% to your agent. We take our flat capped fee. The rest is rebated to you at closing — applied to closing costs, principal, or post-close cash (subject to lender rules).
"Will buyer's agents avoid my listing if I lower the buyer-side commission?"
Some might. We'll walk you through what's competitive in your specific market and price band — it's your call, fully informed.
"When do I pay?"
At close, out of proceeds (sellers) or commission (buyers). Nothing upfront. If we don't close, you owe us nothing.
