Fee and plan information for other brokerages was collected from each brokerage's own public website on June 10, 2026 and documented with source records. Where a brokerage does not publish a fee, we say so rather than estimate. Rankings and commentary reflect our editorial opinion about which models offer agents the most favorable economics; they are not endorsements by, or affiliations with, any listed company. Fees and plans change — confirm current terms directly with each brokerage before making a decision.
The Flat-Fee Advantage on Higher-Value Transactions
Because Agent Plus Realty’s $595 fee is typically charged to the client at closing regardless of sale price, your agent out-of-pocket cost may be $0 whether you close a $200,000 condo or a $3M waterfront estate. At Florida Realty of Miami, the published $299 per-transaction fee is also flat regardless of price (confirm any tiered pricing directly with the brokerage if you work in the luxury segment).
For luxury agents working the South Florida market, in our view the key question remains who pays the fee: the agent or the client. Read our luxury real estate agent guide for more on this market.
