We hired Net Gain Realty to sell our $1.5M single family home in Chicago. We highly recommend Matt and Net Gain Realty to anyone looking for a seamless experience! In just 3 days of listing with Net Gain, we received multiple offers above listing price! Throughout the process, each task was handled professionally and efficiently—from the initial price analysis to the listing process and through the sale negotiation to closing execution. Response times and communication were quick and pleasant...better than most traditional realtors. Avoid the overrated price tag of standard realtors, call Net Gain Realty!!

If there was a sixth star to give Matt, I would have given it. His communication and work ethic far exceeded that of even a full service Realtor. We saved tens of thousands of dollars on a 7 figure transaction. I’ve never had a more efficient home sale experience in my life.

Matt was awesome to work with! He helped sell my condo in Oak Lawn, IL in less than 24hrs! And it went for over ask! My favorite part is that he charged me a flat fee of $1,995 instead of taking 2-3% of the sales price. That was a huge help for me and helped get me the most money in my pockets. Thanks Net Gain Realty for making this process as smooth as possible!

Net Gain Realty did a fantastic job selling my home! They had multiple showings and got my house under contract in just 4 days, selling it for $20,000 over asking. On top of that, they saved me $7,000 in commission fees compared to what a traditional realtor would have charged. Matt at Net Gain Realty provided full-service representation for a flat fee of just $1,995 here in Chicago, which is an incredible value. Throughout the entire process, he was extremely professional, responsive, and knowledgeable. I truly felt he had my best interests in mind every step of the way. I would highly recommend using Net Gain Realty. They delivered exceptional results and provided a better experience (and outcome) than any traditional realtor I've worked with.

The Real Question

Technology changed how homes are marketed, shown, and sold. Commissions didn't.

AI writes listing descriptions in seconds. Software syndicates your home to Zillow, Redfin, and 100+ sites automatically. Buyers find homes on their phones, not by driving through neighborhoods. Professional photography is a $200 booking. You manage showings from an app.

So why does the listing fee still look like it did in 1995?

The 2.5% commission was set when your agent was the only person with access to market data, the only way to reach buyers, and the only path to the MLS. That world doesn't exist anymore.

But the real shift isn't just efficiency. It's pricing accuracy. Every agent pulls comps. AI goes further: it analyzes every price band, every days-on-market trend, every sale-to-list ratio in your neighborhood in seconds. That's the layer between "what sold" and "where buyers are competing right now." (See what Chicago sellers actually pay in commission.)

Net Gain is built on these tools, with AI-driven pricing at the center. $1,995 flat fee. Because getting the price right on day one is what actually sells your home.

FAQ

Questions you should ask any listing agent, not just the flat-fee one.

Is Net Gain Realty legit?

Yes. Net Gain Realty is a licensed Illinois real estate brokerage at 515 N State St in Chicago, and its only website is netgain.realty. Matthew McMahon is the designated managing broker, Illinois license 471.022195, which you can verify with the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation. Client reviews live on the Net Gain Realty Google Business Profile.

Net Gain Realty is not affiliated with netgainrealestate.com or with any similarly named company outside Illinois.

Will my home actually sell?

I only take listings where the pricing strategy is backed by the data. If AI and the market numbers say your expectations don't align with what buyers are actually paying, I'll show you that before we sign anything. Getting pricing right on day one is how you attract the most qualified buyers first, not a fee and a hope.

Why would I choose this over a traditional agent?

Because you get the same execution with better incentive alignment. A percentage agent's commission barely changes whether you sell for $500K or $480K. Net Gain Realty's fee is a flat $1,995, so I only succeed when the pricing strategy is right from day one. No hidden fees, no "premium packages." The only additional cost is the buyer's agent commission, which you control (typically 2-2.5%).

Do I get worse service than a traditional agent?

Net Gain Realty's flat fee includes the MLS listing on MRED, professional photography, neighborhood-level pricing analysis, showing coordination, offer negotiation, and closing support. The fee is flat, so it does not grow with the price of the home.

Why would you charge less?

Because I define value differently. The value of selling your home isn't based on a percentage. It's based on how well the problem gets solved. Price correctly on day one. Leverage buyer momentum. Don't leave money on the table.

You built the equity. I'm here to help you keep as much of it as possible. That's worth a flat fee, not a percentage of your life's work.

What if I need more hand-holding?

Some sellers want daily check-ins. Some want to be left alone until there's an offer. I adapt to you. But if you're looking for someone to validate a price that won't sell, I'm not your agent.

Ideal Fit

This works best for sellers who:

Understand that pricing is the single biggest lever in their sale
Want an agent who leads with data, not opinions
Understand that marketing is about exposure, not brochures
Want to see the market data before they set a price, not after
Are selling in Chicago or the surrounding suburbs

Not sure if you're ready?

About

I built this because pricing is the one thing that actually matters.

I'm Matt McMahon, a licensed managing broker. Every agent pulls comps from the MLS. But comps tell you what sold. They don't tell you where buyer demand is right now at the price band level. I built a system that uses AI and live market data to analyze that demand and get pricing right before a single showing is scheduled.

When the price is right on day one, the most qualified buyers show up first. Showings convert faster. Offers come in stronger. The entire transaction changes.

That's why I publish neighborhood data every week and give it away for free. Sellers with good data make better decisions. And sellers who understand pricing as a lever, not a guess, are exactly who Net Gain was built for.

$1,995 flat fee. Full-service execution. AI-driven pricing. If you want an agent who leads with the numbers, let's talk.

Right Price. Right Buyers. Right Result.

AI-driven pricing built on live MLS data. Full-service listing execution. $1,995 flat fee. The strategy starts with getting the price right on day one.

The most qualified buyers show up when the pricing is dialed in from the start. That's what Net Gain is built to do.
