Calculate Your SavingsFull service vs MLS listing. ShopProp handles everything — professional photography, MLS listing, showings, open houses, negotiations, disclosures, and closing. Flat Fee Commission Broker gets you on MLS, but you handle showings, buyer inquiries, and (on the basic plan) negotiations yourself.
Managing broker on every deal. ShopProp's Managing Broker Robert Luecke (CA DRE #01881220) personally oversees every transaction. With Flat Fee Commission Broker, broker support is only available on premium-tier plans.
Buyer representation included. ShopProp offers buyer services starting at $1,995 with the industry's largest commission rebates. Flat Fee Commission Broker focuses on seller MLS listings only — no buyer representation or rebate program.
19 years of proven results. ShopProp has closed 4,000+ transactions since 2007 across 8 states. Flat Fee Commission Broker is a newer LA-focused service without the same track record.
The real cost of DIY. A $499 MLS listing sounds cheap — until you factor in the time (8-12 hours per week), the risk of negotiation mistakes, and the potential for legal issues with disclosures. ShopProp's $4,995 flat fee includes all of that, still saving you $42,505 vs a traditional agent on a $950K LA home.
It depends on what you want. If you're an experienced seller comfortable handling showings, negotiations, and buyer questions yourself, Flat Fee Commission Broker's lower MLS-only listing fee may work. If you want full-service representation with a managing broker, professional marketing, and negotiation support for a transparent flat fee, ShopProp is the better choice — and still saves $42,505 vs traditional agents on a median LA home.
Their basic plan includes MLS listing for up to 6 months with basic support. Standard adds 12-month listing, contract assistance, and dedicated broker support. Premium adds personalized marketing strategy and priority assistance. None include showings, open houses, or buyer representation.
