What do you
actually keep?

Three ways to sell the same house: a traditional percentage-commission listing, a flat-fee MLS company, and the broker-managed For Sale By Plus model. Start with our defaults, then replace every number with your own.

Buyer-side compensation

Whatever you offer a buyer's agent, you'd offer it the same way no matter how you go to market - so we apply this identically to all three columns. Pick the shape that your market (and brokerage) supports.

Starting prices. Your broker confirms the final quote - you can cancel free if it comes back higher. Buyer-side compensation is separate and shown in every column above.

How to read this
Cash at closing is the money wired to you the day you close: sale price minus loan payoffs, commissions/services, and closing costs. Out of pocket while listed is what you spend before that day (carrying costs, taxes, HOA/CDD, staging, warranty). True take-home subtracts those out-of-pocket months from your cash at closing - that's the number to compare across the three models.
Important: These figures are estimates based on usual and customary expenses. Every transaction has exceptions, and your actual costs and proceeds may vary. A licensed broker will confirm the final numbers for your specific property and market.

Bottom line
You keep $12,518 more than a traditional listing.

Versus a flat-fee MLS company: +$484. Because we're a licensed, broker-managed brokerage, we can run your sale any of these three ways - unbundled, flat-fee style, or full representation - without you re-listing.
