“The team at Freedom Realty Group, are so easy to work with!! They guide you through each step and makes it easier to understand the process of getting your home ready to sell and then selling it. The final paperwork can be intimidating but the team is very helpful in navigating the process. We feel we were lucky to have our home sold and closed so quickly in about 2 months, all to do with Freedom Realty Group!
We will be sharing this information with any one we talk to, that is interested in buying or selling their home.
Thank you Freedom Realty Group!!
–John and Anna Ognie”
For decades the real-estate playbook read the same: hire a traditional agent, fork over 5–6 % of your hard-earned equity, call it “the cost of doing business.” In Denver’s current $600k+ market that’s $30,000–$40,000—money that could fund a college account, a rate buy-down, or the down payment on your forever home.
Typically buyers and sellers follow the old script first. They interview “big brand” brokers, were quoted 6 % and a handful of extra marketing fees, and walked out picturing their equity slipping away. Then they found Freedom Realty Group and our $5K Listing Advantage™.
Scene 1: The Traditional Route (a.k.a. Equity Erosion)
-
Sign a listing agreement at 6 %.
-
Pay up-front for photos (or accept smartphone pics).
-
Agent tosses listing on MLS, crosses fingers for Zillow clicks.
-
Open houses? “If we have time.” Digital marketing? Extra.
-
Offers roll in—negotiation is “take it or leave it.”
-
At closing, $36,000* disappears from your net sheet.
(*Based on a $600k sale price.)

Why a Flat Fee Wins Big—Beyond the Obvious Savings
1. Bigger Down Payment = Better Upgrades
An extra $30k can bump you into that dream neighborhood or knock out PMI entirely.
2. Rate-Buy-Down Power
Use a slice of your savings to purchase mortgage points and shave up to 1 % off your new interest rate—worth thousands over the loan’s life.
3. Instant Reno or Travel Fund
Redo the kitchen in the new place, build equity faster, or take that Bali trip you’ve postponed.
4. Emergency & College Cushion
Shift the commission line item straight into a 529 or emergency reserve—the ultimate peace of mind.
