SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE?
Cleardoor’s Realty Services | Your Questions Answered
When you offer a new way, an alternative to the traditional way of doing things, it raises lots of questions. We’ve answered some of the toughest questions we hear in this series of short videos.
List for 1%
Total Commission
Full Service
Our agents have the experience to price, market, and sell your home for the best price possible. And you get it all for half the fee other brokerages often charge. We are with you from listing to closing.
Save on Commission
The average fee in the U.S. still ranges arond 5%, with some agents charging as high as 7% to list your home – comprised of a buy and sell side commission! That’s over $100 billion in commission fees / home equity stripped away from consumers annually. Typically, a agent will charge 3% to list and offer 2.50% (common in the Albany Capital Region) to a buyer agent in the MLS, increasing total commisiosn to over 5.00%!
Not a Cleardoor, we list your home for 1% and you can offer buy-side agents (offer of cooperation) 1% (2% total commission) at your discretion – you are in control. If you want to list at 1% and offer $1,000 (fix dollar amount) or zero, we allow you to do that at your discretion! If you decide to offer $0 offer of cooperation, a buyer agent would have to be paid by their client / buyer.
Home Valuation
We provide a comprehensive home-seller report and comparative market analysis (CMA) analyzing active, pending and sold transactions. We look at both quantitative and qualatative data allowing to price your home competitively. We provide a pricing recommendation based on informed insight, although you are in control on the listing price.

Times have changed.
The change in consumer behavior has fundamentally influenced how people buy and sell homes. This combined with regulatory landscape influencing change on traditional commission practices with regulatory pressure will benefit the consumer. In the old days, an agent provided access to information and was imperative to reach buyers. Now, listing sites like Zillow and Realtor have given home buyers easy access to information about every home on the market. In fact, nearly 100% of today’s home buyers find their new homes online.
Because of this shift, the industry has become more efficient for home-sellers, although most real estate firms still charge traditional fees. At Cleardoor, given these changes, we are passing those savings on to you by charging only a 1% listing fee so you can retain more of your equity.
Our licensed real estate agents use data and their local market intelligence to set a competitive listing price, which drives up interest, ensures that the maximum number of qualified buyers view your home to generate offers. Not only do home sellers save money thanks to Cleardoor’s 1% listing model—they also retain more!
