Why sellers choose Properkey over One Percent Listings
-
Zero beats one percent
One Percent Listings' full-service plan costs 1% — $10,000 on a $1M San Diego home. Properkey does the full-service job in the same market for $0.
-
No math at closing
A percentage grows with your price. Properkey's listing fee is $0 at every price point, from a Chula Vista condo to a Rancho Santa Fe estate.
-
A platform, not just a discount
Both are San Diego brokerages with real agents. Only Properkey adds financing, escrow, insurance and property management under the same roof.
-
Flat-fee option? Properkey beats that too
Their DIY flat-fee MLS tier still costs money and drops the agent. Properkey's $0 includes the agent.
Where One Percent Listings stands out: a fair look
- Genuine full-service representation at a third of the traditional rate.
- Local San Diego operation with real agents.
We'd rather you compare with clear eyes. When you do, $0 with a dedicated agent is hard to argue with.
The bottom line
One Percent Listings compresses the traditional commission to 1% — real progress, but still $7,500 on a $750,000 sale. Properkey does the same job in the same city for $0.
Frequently asked questions
It's a good deal compared to 2.5–3% — but 1% of a $1M San Diego home is still $10,000 at closing. Properkey provides the same full-service listing in the same market for $0.
That older domain is offline; the active San Diego company is One Percent Listing Group at onepercentlistings.com. This comparison covers the active company.
Because Properkey isn't built on listing commissions. The platform spans the whole transaction — search, financing, escrow, insurance and property management — so we don't need to take 2.5–3% (or even a flat fee) from your sale to run a great listing. You get full MLS exposure and a dedicated agent; the listing side costs you $0.
There's no listing fee and no listing-side commission — ever. Like every home sale (including FSBO), standard transaction costs still exist: escrow, title and recording fees apply no matter who you sell with. Properkey listings close through Properkey Escrow, a non-independent broker escrow operated under Properkey's DRE license, at its published escrow rates — the same category of fee you'd pay any escrow company on any sale. Properkey may also receive compensation from other parties to the transaction. Buyer-agent compensation remains optional and negotiable.
Yes. Properkey listings go on the local MLS and syndicate to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin and hundreds of other sites — the same exposure a traditional 3% listing gets.
Buyer-agent compensation is negotiable and entirely your call — with Properkey and with everyone else, under the rules in place since 2024. The difference is the listing side: $0 with Properkey.
Cancel anytime. There's no lock-in contract and no cancellation fee — if Properkey isn't earning your business, you can walk away.
