Frequently asked questions

A limited-service brokerage that puts your home on the local MLS for a one-time fee (usually $99–$499) and leaves everything else — pricing, showings, negotiation, paperwork — to you. It replaces the listing agent's commission with a fee and with your own labor.

Properkey isn't a flat-fee MLS — it's a full-service brokerage with a $0 listing fee, lower than every flat-fee package's upfront price, and it includes a dedicated agent.

No. Properkey is a full-service California brokerage (DRE #01979718) with a dedicated agent on every listing, a $0 listing fee and no listing commission. Flat-fee MLS services charge a fee and leave the selling to you; Properkey's listing fee is $0 and its agent does the selling with you. Properkey listings close through Properkey Escrow at standard escrow rates.
