What a 3% commission would have cost on this one

A traditional 3% listing-side commission on $1,950,000 is **$58,500**. That is the listing-side fee alone, on a single home.

Under Guided Home Realty's flat fee, the same sale costs **$5,999 total** — $999 at signing plus $5,000 at close. On this specific deal the seller would have kept roughly $52,000 more of their equity, with the same broker, the same MLS, the same closing.

This is why the flat fee makes the biggest difference at the top of the market: the work is the same, but the percentage is not.
