1% Listing Program
Our signature listing service puts more money in your pocket by dramatically reducing the typical commission you'd pay to sell your home. You get full-service professional representation without the inflated fees that have become standard in real estate. We handle everything from pricing strategy to closing coordination, ensuring your home gets maximum market exposure while you keep more of your hard-earned equity.
Seller Cost Reduction Strategy
This comprehensive analysis identifies every potential expense in your home sale and finds legitimate ways to minimize them. Most sellers unknowingly overpay for services or accept inflated vendor quotes simply because they don't know what reasonable costs should be. We review title fees, closing costs, inspection expenses, and vendor charges to ensure you're not leaving money on the table at any stage of the transaction.
Net Proceeds Optimization
The sale price matters, but what you actually walk away with matters more. This service focuses on maximizing your bottom line by balancing strategic pricing, timing, and expense management to boost your net proceeds. We create a customized plan that considers your specific property, market conditions, and timeline to ensure you get the highest possible return after all costs are accounted for.
Who We Are
Sell 1 Percent was born five years ago out of a simple observation: too many homeowners were losing tens of thousands of dollars in unnecessary fees when selling their homes. Our founder had watched friends and family members hand over huge chunks of their equity to outdated commission structures that didn't reflect the actual work involved. There had to be a better way. So we built a company around one core principle - homeowners should keep more of what they've earned, without sacrificing the quality of service they deserve.
What sets us apart is our laser focus on maximizing what ends up in your pocket at closing. Our 1% Listing Program isn't about cutting corners. It's about cutting waste. We've stripped away the inflated costs and outdated practices that have plagued real estate for decades, replacing them with a streamlined approach that delivers results. Our Seller Cost Reduction Strategy examines every aspect of your transaction, identifying savings opportunities most agents never mention. Combined with our Net Proceeds Optimization service, we ensure you're not just selling your home - you're getting the most value from it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you really only charge 1% to list my home?▼
Yes! Our 1% Listing Program is designed to help homeowners keep more money in their pocket at closing. Unlike traditional agents who typically charge 5-6% in total commissions, we only charge 1% for our listing services. You'll still need to factor in the buyer's agent commission (which is negotiable), but our 1% fee can save you thousands compared to conventional commission structures. We're completely transparent about all costs, and we'll walk you through exactly what you'll net from your sale during our initial consultation.
What states do you operate in?▼
We're proud to serve homeowners throughout the United States. Our network of real estate professionals spans all 50 states, so whether you're selling a home in California, Texas, Florida, New York, or anywhere in between, we can help you save on commission costs. When you contact us, we'll connect you with a qualified agent in your specific market who understands local regulations, pricing trends, and buyer expectations in your area.
How do I get started? What's the process like?▼
Getting started is simple and straightforward. First, reach out to us through our website, phone, or email. We'll schedule a free consultation where we'll discuss your home, your selling timeline, and your goals. During this conversation, we'll explain our Net Proceeds Optimization strategy and show you how much you could save with our 1% listing fee. If you decide to move forward, we'll connect you with a local agent, schedule a home evaluation, develop a pricing strategy, and create a marketing plan. From listing to closing, we handle everything a traditional agent would—professional photos, MLS listing, showings, negotiations, and paperwork—all while saving you thousands in commission fees.
Are your agents actually experienced, or am I getting less service because of the lower fee?▼
This is one of our most common questions, and we're glad you asked! Our agents are fully licensed, experienced real estate professionals—many with 10+ years in the industry. The lower commission doesn't mean lower quality service. We're able to offer reduced rates through operational efficiency, higher transaction volume, and a streamlined business model. You'll receive full-service representation including professional marketing, MLS listing, open houses, negotiation support, and transaction management. The only difference is what you pay, not what you get.
What if I need to sell quickly due to a job relocation or family emergency?▼
We absolutely work with sellers in time-sensitive situations. Whether you're relocating for work, going through a life transition, or facing financial pressure, our team can expedite the listing process and implement aggressive marketing strategies to attract buyers quickly. We understand that urgent situations require urgent action—we can often have your home professionally photographed, listed on the MLS, and marketed within days of our initial meeting. Plus, our Seller Cost Reduction Strategy becomes even more valuable when you're under time constraints and need to maximize every dollar from your sale.
What's included in your Seller Cost Reduction Strategy?▼
Our Seller Cost Reduction Strategy is a comprehensive approach to minimize your selling expenses while maximizing your net proceeds. Beyond our low 1% listing commission, we help you identify and reduce other closing costs through our network of preferred vendors (inspectors, stagers, photographers), negotiate buyer concessions strategically, advise on cost-effective home improvements that actually increase value, and review your closing statement to catch any unnecessary fees. We also help you understand tax implications and timing strategies that could save you money. It's all about putting more money in your pocket at the end of the transaction.
Can I still negotiate the buyer's agent commission?▼
Yes, absolutely. The buyer's agent commission is completely negotiable and separate from our 1% listing fee. We'll discuss competitive commission structures in your local market and help you determine the best strategy. In some cases, offering a competitive buyer's agent commission can attract more showings and offers, while in hot markets you may have more flexibility to reduce it. We'll provide data-driven recommendations based on your specific situation, market conditions, and how quickly you need to sell.
How quickly can someone come out to evaluate my home?▼
We typically can schedule a home evaluation within 24-48 hours of your initial contact, depending on your location and schedule. During this visit, your assigned agent will tour your property, assess its condition, discuss any repairs or staging recommendations, review comparable sales in your area, and provide a suggested listing price range. This consultation is completely free with no obligation. If you're in a rush, let us know—we've accommodated same-day appointments for sellers with urgent timelines.
