SnapDwell Pricing
SnapDwell charges a flat fee based on your home's value — not a percentage of the sale price. This gives you predictable costs and significantly lower fees compared to traditional agents.

- ✓ DocuSign-based contract management
- ✓ Escrow coordination through close
- ✓ No upfront fees — paid at closing from sale proceeds
Why Flat Fee Works
Traditional agents earn a percentage of your sale price — which means their payout grows with your home's value, regardless of transaction complexity.
A flat fee aligns incentives differently: SnapDwell's compensation doesn't change based on your final sale price, so the focus stays on getting the transaction closed correctly — not on maximizing commission.
The result is full transparency: you know the exact fee before you sign, and it doesn't grow with your home's value.
How This Compares to Traditional Commission
A traditional listing-side commission is typically 2%–3% of the sale price. In California, where median home prices routinely exceed $800,000, that adds up quickly — and the fee scales with your home's value, not the complexity of the transaction.
| Sale Price | 2.5% Commission | SnapDwell Flat Fee | Savings |

| $700,000 | $17,500 | $10,500 | $7,000 |
| $900,000 | $22,500 | $12,500 | $10,000 |
| $1,200,000 | $30,000 | $20,000 | $10,000 |

What does the flat fee include?
Full-service seller-side brokerage: MLS listing, licensed broker oversight, offer review, California disclosure documentation, DocuSign contract management, and escrow coordination through close. The same services apply at every price tier.
Are there any upfront fees?
No. The flat fee is paid at closing from your sale proceeds. There is nothing due before or during the listing period.
Do I still need to offer a buyer's agent commission?
Buyer agent compensation is separate from SnapDwell's listing fee and is negotiable. Following the 2024 NAR settlement, compensation to a buyer's agent is no longer required to be offered through the MLS. Your listing agreement will specify what, if anything, is offered.
What if my home doesn't sell?
The flat fee is due at closing. If your home does not sell, you do not owe a commission. Specific terms are outlined in the listing agreement.
Is a flat-fee broker the same as FSBO?
No. FSBO (For Sale By Owner) means selling without a licensed agent or broker. SnapDwell is a licensed California brokerage — you have full professional representation, a broker accountable to the DRE, and complete transaction management. The difference from a traditional agent is the fee structure, not the level of service or legal oversight.
