Chicago flat fee listing brokerage

Sell Your Chicago Home With Full Service. $1,995 Flat.

Net Gain Realty sells Chicago-area homes with full-service representation for a flat $1,995 listing fee: pricing from recent sold comps, professional photography and a floor plan, the MRED MLS listing syndicated to Zillow, Redfin and Realtor.com, showings, offer negotiation, and contract to close. Net Gain Realty collects $595 at signing to cover the cost of launching the listing, including professional photography and preparation of the listing documents. The $595 is non-refundable, and Net Gain Realty applies it toward its $1,995 flat listing fee, so it is not an additional charge; the remaining $1,400 is due at closing. The buyer's agent is a separate decision made offer by offer.

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.

Before the call

Questions sellers ask before the call.

What does the $1,995 listing fee include?

The complete listing job: a pricing strategy from live MLS data, professional photography and a floor plan, the MRED listing syndicated to Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com and the other portals, a lockbox and ShowingTime scheduling, every offer presented with the comps next to it and negotiated by the managing broker, then contract to close: attorney review, inspection, appraisal, walkthrough and closing day. $595 is due at signing and $1,400 at closing.

What does the $595 due at signing cover?

Net Gain Realty collects $595 at signing to cover the cost of launching the listing, including professional photography and preparation of the listing documents. The $595 is non-refundable, and Net Gain Realty applies it toward its $1,995 flat listing fee, so it is not an additional charge; the remaining $1,400 is due at closing.

What happens on the listing consultation?

It is a 30-minute Zoom call. Before it, Net Gain Realty pulls the recent sales around your home. On it, the call covers those comps, the flat-fee math at your price, the timeline, and what the listing would need before photos. No agreement is signed on the call.

Do I still pay the buyer’s agent?

That is a separate line and a separate decision. Since the 2024 NAR settlement practice changes, buyer-agent compensation is not offered through the MLS; it is negotiated offer by offer, and what you offer, if anything, is your call. Traditionally it has run 2 to 3 percent. The flat fee covers the listing side only.

Is this a limited-service or MLS-entry listing?

No. An entry-only listing lowers the fee by handing part of the work back to the seller. Net Gain Realty keeps the whole listing job with the broker: pricing, photos, the MLS listing, showings, negotiation and closing coordination. The fee is a number instead of a percentage; the scope is the full listing.

What if my home is already listed with another broker?

Check your listing agreement for its term and cancellation terms first. Net Gain Realty does not interfere with an active agreement. If the listing has expired or been withdrawn, the six questions below and a call are the next step.

How much could I keep compared with a percentage listing fee?

On an example $450,000 sale, an example 2.5 percent listing-side fee is $11,250. The flat $1,995 listing fee is $9,255 less on the same sale price. Traditionally the listing side has been 2 to 3 percent; commission rates are not set by law and are negotiable. Illustrative example; excludes taxes, closing costs, attorney fees and any buyer-agent compensation you choose to offer.

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
