Flat Fee vs. Traditional Realtor Commission in Nebraska
See how much a flat fee could save you on your Nebraska home sale — and what you get with each option.
A traditional listing agent is usually paid a percentage of your sale price. A flat fee listing costs the same no matter what your home sells for. Here's how the two compare for Nebraska sellers.

| Difference you keep |
Commissions are negotiable and vary. Buyer's agent compensation, if offered, is separate in both cases and is your decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a flat fee listing the same as a For Sale By Owner?
Not quite. Your home is listed on the MLS by a licensed broker, so it gets the same exposure as an agent listing. With the $199 package you handle the sale like an owner; with Full-Service a broker handles it for you.
Do flat fee listings sell for less?
Sale price depends mainly on pricing, condition and exposure. A flat fee MLS listing provides the same MLS and website exposure as a traditional listing.
What's not included in the flat fee?
Buyer's agent compensation, if you choose to offer it, and normal closing costs such as transfer tax and title fees.
