It’s what you get.
It’s not what you save.

“There was absolutely no drop-off in the quality of the listing or service level received because of the lower commission rate. We saved $12,500 on commissions that we were able to use to buy furniture for our new home.”

There used to be two ways to sell a home.
Now there is ONE.

SPOT combines full-service brokerage representation with a 1% listing commission — without handing the work back to the homeowner.

Full representation. Traditional listing commission.
The service scope can be similar. SPOT’s distinction is a 1% listing commission and a leaner brokerage cost structure..

The four things everyone asks first.

“A lower commission must mean less service.”
It means a leaner brokerage model, not a stripped-down listing. Pricing strategy, professional marketing, showing coordination, negotiation and contract-to-close representation are still included.
“So what’s the catch?”
There isn’t a stripped-down service tier. The difference is the brokerage model and pricing structure, not work handed back to you. SPOT’s 1% is the listing commission; the separate administrative fee is disclosed up front.
“Is SPOT a real brokerage?”
Yes. SPOT Real Estate, LLC is a licensed Illinois brokerage. Its Designated Managing Broker has been licensed in Illinois since 2005.
“Do I still get professional photos and marketing?”
Yes. Professional photography, MLS exposure, syndication to major consumer portals, signage and a written marketing plan for your home are included.

You built equity.

Why give more of it away than you have to?

Most homeowners do not question the value of expert representation. They question why it still costs so much to get it.

That is why SPOT Real Estate exists. To give you the marketing, negotiation, guidance, and protection you expect, while helping you keep more of what is yours.

Use your own estimated home value. No obligation to list.

Questions about the 1% model.

What exactly does the 1% commission cover?+

Pricing strategy, professional photography and marketing, MLS exposure, showing coordination, offer negotiation and contract-to-close representation. The 1% is SPOT’s listing commission. Any applicable administrative fee is separate, and buyer-agent compensation, if any, is negotiated separately.

How can SPOT offer full-service representation at 1%?+

SPOT is built around a lean, technology-enabled brokerage model with lower fixed overhead than traditional office-heavy structures. That lets us price the listing side differently without stripping out the core service.

Who pays the buyer’s agent?+

Buyer-broker compensation is negotiable. Depending on the buyer’s representation agreement and the offer, the buyer may pay it, the seller may agree to contribute toward it, or it may be handled through another lawful arrangement. SPOT helps you evaluate any request as part of the overall offer before you agree to it.

Are there any other fees?+

SPOT’s administrative fee is separate from the 1% listing commission and varies by home value. The amount is disclosed on our Pricing page and before you sign a listing agreement. Buyer-agent compensation, if any, is separate and negotiable.

Do I have to sign a long-term contract?+

No. If either you or SPOT decides the listing relationship is no longer the right fit, the agreement can be terminated. We don’t believe in holding a homeowner in a listing agreement they no longer want to be in..

Ready to see what you’d keep?

No pressure. No long meetings. No obligation to list.
