Frequently Asked Questions

The listing fee is a flat $5,000, regardless of your home's price. If you also buy your next home with us, the listing fee drops to $2,000 with full buyer representation included. Nothing is due upfront — the flat fee is paid at closing, and if your home does not sell, you pay nothing.

Everything a full-service listing agent provides: a comparative market analysis (CMA) and pricing strategy, a full MLS listing syndicated to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and hundreds of other sites, an open house, showing coordination, offer review, negotiation, and hands-on management of the transaction through closing day. See the full breakdown on our pricing page.

We believe in being upfront about this. Professional photography and floor plans are not part of the flat fee — we connect you with a trusted local photographer so it gets done right at a fair price. Physical staging furniture rental is also not included. Standard seller costs like the closing attorney, NC excise tax, and any buyer-agent compensation you choose to offer apply to every sale, whether you list with us or a traditional agent.

Those services are MLS-entry only: they post your listing and you handle everything else yourself — pricing, showings, negotiation, contracts, and closing, with no representation. Chatham Flat Fee is a full-service listing with a licensed North Carolina broker representing you from pricing through closing day. The flat fee refers to how we price our service, not how much of it you get. Read more in our guide to flat fee vs. traditional listings.

Compared to a typical 2.5% listing commission:

• On a $300,000 home: you save $2,500
• On a $530,000 home (around the county median): you save $8,250
• On a $750,000 home: you save $13,750
• On a $1,000,000 home: you save $20,000

The flat fee stays $5,000 no matter what your home sells for. Try your own numbers in the savings calculator.

Yes. Real estate commissions in North Carolina are fully negotiable and have never been fixed by law. Chatham Flat Fee is operated by Dylan Jenkins, a licensed North Carolina real estate broker (NC License #358127) with Fathom Realty, and every listing follows the same NC Real Estate Commission rules as any traditional listing.

No. Your listing on the MLS looks identical to any traditional listing — buyers and their agents cannot tell what the seller is paying their listing agent. Your sale price is determined by pricing strategy, presentation, and negotiation, all of which are included in our full service.

Yes. With our Sell & Buy option, your listing fee drops to $2,000 and we represent you fully on the purchase of your next home — search, showings, offers, negotiation, and closing. One agent for your whole move.
