If you’re thinking about selling your home in Dallas-Fort Worth, you’ve probably wondered whether there’s a way to avoid paying a traditional 5–6% real estate commission. There is — and it’s called a flat-fee listing broker.

Here’s exactly how it works and why more DFW sellers are choosing this model.

What is a flat-fee real estate broker?

A flat-fee broker charges a set dollar amount to list your home on the MLS — instead of a percentage of your sale price. You get the same MLS exposure that every traditional agent uses, without the traditional commission cost.

At The Max Group, that fee is $5,000. Full stop.

What does $5,000 get you?

Full-service representation including professional photography, MLS listing, pricing strategy, offer review, negotiation support, and transaction coordination through closing. Everything a traditional agent does — for a fraction of the cost.

How much can you save?

On a $450,000 DFW home, a traditional 3% listing commission costs $13,500. With The Max Group’s flat fee, you pay $5,000 — saving $8,500 in your pocket at closing.

On a $600,000 home the savings grow to $13,000.

What about the buyer’s agent?

You still offer a buyer’s agent commission — typically 2–3% in DFW. The flat fee only eliminates the listing-side cost, which is where sellers save thousands.

Is this the same as FSBO?

No. For Sale By Owner means no MLS, no professional support, and significant legal and pricing risk. A flat-fee broker gives you full MLS access and professional guidance — you just pay a fixed cost instead of a percentage.
