When you buy a home through ShopProp, you get the biggest buyer rebate in real estate. Not by a little — by tens of thousands of dollars.
When you buy a home, the seller typically pays a buyer-agent commission — usually 2–3% of the sale price. That money goes to your buyer's agent's brokerage. At most brokerages, the agent and their company split it and keep every dollar.
ShopProp does it differently. We charge a flat service fee based on your home's price bracket — and rebate the rest of the commission back to you at closing. You get the same full-service representation, same managing broker oversight, and a check at the closing table.
Typically 2–3% of the sale price. On a $1M home at 2.5%, that's $25,000.
Based on your home's price bracket — not a percentage. On a $1M home, the minimum fee is $3,995.
The difference between the commission and ShopProp's fee is rebated directly to you. On a $1M home: up to $21,005 back.
The higher the home price, the bigger your rebate — because our fee stays flat while the commission scales with the price. That's the power of flat-fee representation.
Assuming 2.5% buyer-agent commission, ShopProp minimum fee per bracket:
Our fee is service-based and increases only if the complexity of the transaction increases. It's always capped — never a percentage of the sale price.
*Example rebates assume 2.5% buyer-agent commission and minimum ShopProp fee for the bracket. Actual rebate depends on the commission offered by the seller and your service level.
Buyer-agent commission: 2.5% ($25,000). Here's what each brokerage gives back to you as the buyer.
On a $1M home, ShopProp buyers get $21,005 back. The next closest competitor gives back roughly $10,000. Most give back $0. That $21,005 can go toward closing costs, a rate buy-down, renovations — or straight into your pocket.
The rebate is just the math. Here's the service behind it:

The 2024 NAR settlement changed how buyer-agent commissions work. Buyers now sign representation agreements and may need to negotiate their agent's fee directly. This makes choosing the right brokerage critical.
With ShopProp, the math is simple: if the seller offers a buyer-agent commission, you keep the difference between that commission and ShopProp's flat fee. If there's no seller-paid commission, you pay ShopProp's flat fee directly — still far less than what traditional agents charge.
Either way, you get a managing broker, full representation, and the most transparent pricing in the industry.
