Flat Fee Real Estate in San Marcos

Traditional agents charge a percentage of your home’s value — the more expensive your home, the more you pay for the same work. ShopProp flips that model. Sellers pay a flat $4,995 for Full Service, and buyers get the industry’s biggest rebate. On San Marcos’s median $850,000 home, the savings are massive.
