Rethinking How Agents Charge: Flat Fees, Upfront Money, Shared Risk
About this episode
This episode explores alternative fee models for agents, including flat fees and upfront payments, to alleviate financial pressure in real estate transactions.
You do the work, carry all the risk, and hope you get paid at closing. This episode breaks down fee models that change that. Join Matt and Garrett for a conversation as they explore what charging looks like outside the standard commission box: flat fees for your marketing and expertise, upfront money on overpriced listings, risk-shifting out clauses, and why more money options actually take pressure off the money conversation. Ideas to react to, not rules to follow, and they want to hear your take. → Join the conversation inside the Ten Tenths community: https://tentenths.co
