A flat rate commission, also known as flat fee commission, is a pricing model used by some real estate agents or brokerages. Instead of charging a percentage of the property's sale price, they charge a fixed or flat fee for their services. This can be advantageous for sellers, especially those with higher-priced properties, as it offers potential cost savings compared to traditional percentage-based commissions. However, it's important to consider the level of service and expertise provided by the agent or brokerage when opting for a flat rate commission structure.
