Springfield Missouri is the Home of HouseKey Flat Fee Realty; Missouri’s premier full service traditional real estate brokerage. We are not a flat fee MLS provider, we are a full service broker. Most agents do not like to work with flat fee MLS companies because often they do not know the local forms and customs and ussually provide little to no service to their flat fee mls home sellers other than MLS exposure.
HouseKey was formed by veteran Realtor David Sekunda in the spring of 2016. HouseKey Flat Fee Realty has sold over 500 Million dollars in local real estate and saved home sellers in excess of 1 million dollars in realtor commissions.
HouseKey Flat Fee Realty charges a Flat Fee to home sellers instead of a traditional percentage, for example 6%. See, traditionally the 6% realtor commission would be split 50/50 between listing and selling real estate companies (3% & 3% ). Now what HouseKey Flat Fee Realty has done is made the listing side fee a flat fee of $3995 instead of the traditional 3% real estate commission you would expect to be charged. So, with HouseKey Flat Fee Realty you would see ($3995 & 3% ) instead of (3% & 3%), so anyone selling a home essentially over $140,000 is going to pay the same price on the listing side and most will save thousands.
The real estate listing side is essentially the same work and exposure, the paperwork, signage, MLS exposure, negotiations are all the same, so why should the real estate listing side of the transaction cost every home seller a different commission amount? See at 3% a $100,000 home sale costs the seller $3000 with a traditional 6% commission and 3% or $3000 going to the buyers agent. Now on a $300,000 home that same home seller is paying 3% or $9000 for the same work and exposure, negotiations as the $100,000 home seller but paying 300% more for the same service; do you think that is fair? It is not, but it is traditional.
HouseKey Flat Fee Realty levels the playing field for Missouri home sellers and charges a flat fee for their real estate service while offing the same full service Realtor experience, we even hold open houses. So, next time you want to sell a home and save contact HouseKey Flat Fee Realty!
