How to Use a Real Estate Commission Calculator

Expert guidance from ShopProp — helping home buyers and sellers save since 2007.

Why commission calculations matter

Most home sellers don't calculate their total commission costs until it's too late. Understanding these numbers upfront helps you make informed decisions and keep more of your equity.

The traditional commission formula

Traditional commission: Home Price × 3% (listing) + Home Price × 2.5% (buyer agent) = Total Commission. On a $750K home: $22,500 + $18,750 = $41,250. That's a significant chunk of your equity.

The flat-fee formula

ShopProp's model: $4,995 flat listing fee + buyer agent commission (if offered). Even offering 2.5% to buyer agents, your total on a $750K home is $4,995 + $18,750 = $23,245. That saves you $18,005 on the listing side alone.
