Lower Commission.
Smarter Service.

At Equity One, we don’t believe you should have to choose between exceptional service and real savings when selling real estate. While some ‘discount’ brokerages reduce fees by cutting corners, we do things differently.

We offer a full-service real estate experience — expert marketing, strategic guidance, stunning listing media, and proven results — all for less commission. We’ve been doing just that since 2008, and we’ve perfected it.

  • The simple answer is that there are actually two commissions, a ‘listing’ commission, and a ‘selling’ commission. When a listing brokerage quotes a commission of 5%, it’s generally broken into two equal parts - 2.5% to the listing brokerage, and 2.5% to the brokerage representing the buyer. Brokerages are free to split the 5% any way they choose. Contact us to learn more about how commissions work.
