Flat Fee Realtor in Texas
KAT Realty is a flat fee real estate service for Texas buyers and sellers. Instead of a traditional percentage-based commission, you get full-service representation for one transparent flat fee — $4,999 for buyer representation and $5,999 for seller listings — across the entire state. Same expert guidance, thousands more left in your pocket.
As home values have climbed across Austin, Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, San Antonio, and beyond, the gap between a 3% commission and the actual work involved has only widened. A flat fee aligns what you pay with the service you receive — pricing strategy, offer and contract negotiation, inspections, and closing coordination — without the percentage. KAT Realty helps buyers and sellers across Texas navigate every step with clear, predictable pricing.
Why Texas Buyers and Sellers Are Choosing a Flat Fee Realtor
On a traditional sale, a 3% listing commission on a $500,000 home is $15,000 — and a buyer's side can cost just as much. Those numbers scale with your home price, not with the complexity of the transaction. A flat fee replaces that unpredictable percentage with a fixed, knowable cost from day one.
KAT Realty is full-service, not a limited "flat fee MLS" platform that only loads your listing and disappears. You get buyer representation, seller listings, pricing strategy, contract and offer negotiation, inspection negotiation, builder-contract guidance, and contract-to-close support — the same scope a percentage agent provides, at a flat fee.
How Much Can You Save With a Flat Fee in Texas?
The higher your home price, the more a flat fee saves you versus a 3% commission. These examples are illustrative and reflect price points seen across Texas markets.
Seller Savings: Flat Fee vs 3% Listing Commission
| Home Price | Traditional 3% Listing Commission | KAT Realty Flat Fee | Potential Difference |
|---|---|---|---|
| $350,000 | $10,500 | $5,999 | $4,501 |
| $500,000 | $15,000 | $5,999 | $9,001 |
| $750,000 | $22,500 | $5,999 | $16,501 |
| $1,000,000 | $30,000 | $6,999 | $23,001 |
Savings examples are illustrative and may vary depending on transaction structure, seller concessions, lender guidelines, and commission arrangements. A higher-priced-home fee applies above $900K to cover increased E&O insurance costs.

KAT Realty represents buyers on resale homes, new construction, luxury properties, investment purchases, and relocations statewide.
