The Flat-Fee Advantage on Higher-Value Transactions
Because Agent Plus Realty’s $595 fee is paid by the client regardless of sale price, your agent cost remains $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.
