There isn’t one.

You receive full professional representation and guidance, full marketing, and full negotiation — just structured differently than the traditional 3% model.

The only fixed cost is a $399 brokerage transaction fee per transaction. This is not a commission and does not go to me — it is the flat administrative fee charged by the brokerage to process and close the file.

That’s it.

No hidden percentages.

No surprise add-ons.

No reduced service.

Before you sign anything, every number is clearly outlined so you know exactly what you’re paying — and what you’re saving.

Most traditional brokerages, like car dealerships, charge similar administrative fees — they’re just less transparent about it.

I think the better question is, “Why do I still offer this?”

After 12 years of providing full-service representation for less than many agents charge, one might expect me to change directions — especially with so many past clients and referral opportunities.

The truth is, I genuinely believe saving money shouldn’t require sacrificing service.

I’ve spent years building a strategy around the idea that when both sides of a move are involved, there’s often a smarter and more efficient way to structure the commission — while still delivering the level of guidance, communication, and results clients deserve.

No. I use a day-to-day listing agreement.

I believe representation should be earned through communication, strategy, and results — not locked in through a long contract.

That means you maintain flexibility while still receiving full-service representation throughout the process.

Relationships matter. If you have a trusted agent — whether a long-time advisor, close friend, or family member — we may be able to structure things so you can still work together while benefiting from my commission-saving model.

In certain cases, I can coordinate through a referral agreement on the purchase side while still listing your Preserve home at 0% when you buy locally.

Every situation is unique. Let’s review yours and see what makes the most sense.

Absolutely not.

Your home is marketed the same way, negotiated the same way, and exposed to the same buyer pool as any other listing. The fee structure has zero impact on how your home is positioned in the marketplace.

Compensation structure and sale price are two separate conversations.

Yes. Professional photography, professional showing service, professional signage and monitored lockbox, MLS, social media and syndicated (Zillow, Realtor.com, Homes.com, etc) exposure, negotiation strategy, contract management, and closing coordination are all included. 

This is not a limited-service model.

Well, you might have if you listened to 99.7, 104.5 or watched Channel 4, Today in Nashville, in the past :-).

Bottom line, most real estate commissions are structured around a single transaction — either selling or buying — and have followed the same model for decades.

My approach looks at the entire move.

When a homeowner is both selling and buying, or when referral partnerships are involved, compensation can be structured differently. That flexibility simply isn’t part of the traditional one-transaction model most agents operate under.

As former Florida coach Steve Spurrier once said:

“If you want to be successful you have to do it the way everybody does it and do it a lot better — or you have to do it differently.”

This model isn’t about cutting corners. It’s about structuring things differently — and smarter — when the situation allows.

And yes — even a Georgia Bulldog like myself can appreciate a good quote when it fits.

For the homeowner, that can mean significant savings without sacrificing service or representation.
