A 6% commission on a $500k home is $30,000.
That’s the down payment on your next house. It’s the kitchen renovation. It’s the kids’ first year of college. Here’s the honest math — and what the alternative looks like under our flat-fee model.
The math, side by side.
Numbers are illustrative for a hypothetical Plano-class home at a $500,000 sale price. Your exact savings depend on listing price, market, and which pricing path you choose.
On a $1M sale, savings typically run $15,000–20,000. On $2M+, $30,000–60,000.
Where the difference comes from.
| Traditional 6% | GPG Flat Fee | |
|---|---|---|
| How fee is set | Flat % regardless of work | Scoped to actual work needed |
| Who runs your listing | Often delegated to junior | Adam personally, every step |
| Premium marketing decisions | Whatever the agent decides | You opt into premium adds |
| Buyer-side commission | 3% (standard) | You set the number |
| Fee transparency | Boilerplate contract | Itemized in writing before signing |
| Where the difference goes | To the brokerage | Stays in your equity |
Why does traditional still exist?
Inertia. The 6% number is the cultural default. Most sellers don’t know it’s negotiable. Most agents don’t bring it up because their commission depends on the status quo.
There are scenarios where the traditional model can work: agents with deep buyer networks who source off-market deals, ultra-luxury brokerages with serious marketing infrastructure, relationship-driven referral networks where the introduction is the value.
For most DFW sellers — single-family homes, condos, townhomes in established neighborhoods — there’s no reason to pay 6% in 2026. The same work, by an experienced licensed agent, costs measurably less under a transparent flat-fee model. See the three paths.
