How Much Money Can I Save With a 1% Real Estate Agent?

The savings from using a 1% listing agent versus a traditional 2.5% to 3% agent are significant enough to change what you can afford on your next home. Here's the real math at different Highlands Ranch price points.

The Savings at Common Highlands Ranch Price Points

Let's compare a 1% listing fee against a traditional 2.5% listing fee across a range of home prices common in Highlands Ranch:

• $500,000 home: 1% = $5,000 vs 2.5% = $12,500. Savings: $7,500

• $650,000 home: 1% = $6,500 vs 2.5% = $16,250. Savings: $9,750

• $750,000 home: 1% = $7,500 vs 2.5% = $18,750. Savings: $11,250

• $900,000 home: 1% = $9,000 vs 2.5% = $22,500. Savings: $13,500

• $1,200,000 home: 1% = $12,000 vs 2.5% = $30,000. Savings: $18,000

If you're comparing against a 3% listing fee, add another $5,000 to $6,000 to those savings figures at the higher price points.

What Those Savings Actually Mean

On a $700,000 home, saving $10,000 on your listing commission means you have $10,000 more to put toward your next down payment, closing costs, moving expenses, or improvements on your new home. For most families, that's a meaningful amount of money.

It also means you have more flexibility on pricing. Sellers with lower commission costs can afford to price more competitively, which can actually lead to faster sales and better overall outcomes.

The List One Get One Bonus

With LOGO Real Estate, the savings go one step further. When you sell your home at 1% and then buy your next home with me, I give that 1% listing fee back to you at closing as a credit. The net cost of selling becomes zero.

On a $700,000 sale, that's a $7,000 credit applied to your next purchase. Combined with the savings versus a traditional 2.5% to 3% agent, you're looking at total savings of $17,500 to $28,000 compared to the traditional model.
