If you’ve ever bought or sold a home with a traditional real estate brokerage, you probably
remember the feeling:
● High commissions that made you wince 😬
● Paying for services you didn’t really need
● Little control over how the process actually worked for you
At Mr. Lister Realty, we believe real estate should be flexible, transparent, and
cost-effective—not one-size-fits-all.
That’s why we’ve built a model that doesn’t just look different from traditional brokerages… it’s
flat-out superior.
What Makes Mr. Lister Realty Different?
Traditional brokerages operate on a simple (but outdated) model:
You pay a large commission—usually 5–6%*—whether you need full-service help
or not.
Mr. Lister Realty flips that script.
✅ You Choose the Services You Need
Instead of forcing you into an all-inclusive (and expensive) package, Mr. Lister Realty lets
buyers and sellers personalize their real estate experience.
Need help pricing, MLS exposure, and paperwork—but want to handle showings yourself? No
problem.
Want full-service support without overpaying? We’ve got options for that too.
You’re in control.
*Each brokerage independently sets their own commission rates; there is no set standard rate.
