4,000+ transactions since 2007 · Managing broker on every team · Full service · transparent flat-fee pricing

ShopProp pioneered transparent flat-fee pricing nearly 20 years ago — not to discount real estate, but to elevate it. Founded in 2007, ShopProp put a managing broker on every transaction because the percentage model doesn’t reward better service — it just charges more. Nearly two decades and 4,000+ deals across 9 states later, ShopProp didn’t lower the bar on service. It raised it — and lowered the cost of getting there.
