Sell Your Home for Just 1% Commission
What Is the 1% Listing?
- Traditional agent listing fee (3%): $10,500 on a $350,000 home
- HouseSavings.com 1% listing: $3,500
- Savings: $7,000
1%
Important Note: Your fee to HouseSavings.com is always just 1% for the listing side.
In most situations, sellers also offer a buyer’s agent commission (commonly 3%) to attract buyers. This means your listing contract might show a total of 4% commission, with 1% going to HouseSavings.com and the rest reserved for the buyer’s agent.
The key difference? Traditional brokerages charge 3% + 3% = 6% total. With us, you only pay 1% on the selling side, keeping thousands more in your pocket.

FAQs: The 1% Listing, Explained
How is HouseSavings.com different from traditional Real Estate Agents?
What services are included in the 1% fee?
Do I lose anything by paying less?
What about the buyer’s agent commission?
As the seller, you’ll decide what to offer a buyer’s agent. Most sellers offer 2.5- 3% to stay competitive. The key is that your listing fee with HouseSavings.com stays locked at 1%.
Why does the Listing Contract show more than 1%?
Your HouseSavings.com fee is always 1% to list your home. However, most listing contracts also include the buyer’s agent commission. That’s why you may see 3–4% total in the contract (for example, 3% buyer’s agent + 1% HouseSavings.com). The savings come from our reduced 1% listing fee vs. the traditional 3%.
How do showings work?
Buyer agents schedule through ShowingTime, and you approve times that fit your schedule. Buyer agents handle their own clients; we coordinate the process.
Do you host open houses?
No — and that’s by design. We don’t personally show homes or host open houses. Buyer’s agents show their own clients your property, while you stay in control of the schedule. By operating virtually, we keep costs down and pass those savings on to you in the form of our 1% listing fee.
Am I locked into a contract if I list with HouseSavings.com?
Not at all. Unlike many traditional brokerages that tie you into long listing agreements, you can cancel with HouseSavings.com at any time if you’re not satisfied. No pressure, no penalties — just freedom and transparency.
