Question 1

How much will I save compared to traditional brokerages?

Accepted Answer

Most traditional Chicago brokerages charge 3%-4.5% to sell your home. SPOT's 1% commission means on a $350,000 home you'll save $7,000-$12,250. That's real money back in your pocket - maybe a vacation, new car, or that furniture upgrade you've been wanting.

Question 2

Do I still get full-service at 1% commission?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! We deliver professional photography, MLS listing, staging guidance, pricing strategy, negotiation, and closing support. Our ability to charge lower commission comes from technology efficiencies and no expensive offices - not reduced service.

Question 3

Will my home be listed on Zillow, Realtor.com, and the MLS?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We list your property on MRED (Chicago MLS) and syndicate to all major sites including Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, Trulia, and about 150+ other sites for maximum exposure.

Question 4

What's included in the upfront fee?

Accepted Answer

Think of it as an engagement fee to get started. Traditional brokerages charge similar fees ($495-$595) PLUS their 3%-4.5% commission. Our upfront fee covers initial costs while you save thousands at closing with our 1% commission.

Question 5

Can I upgrade my plan if I need more help?

Accepted Answer

Definitely! Sometimes you start thinking you can handle everything, then realize the work involved. Just let us know and we'll upgrade you to the plan that fits your needs - all still at 1% commission.

Question 6

How can SPOT offer such low commission rates?

Accepted Answer

We leverage technology and a distributed workforce instead of expensive offices and large staff. These efficiencies let us pass savings to you while maintaining full-service quality. It's about working smarter, not cutting corners.
