Compare DUFFY
A lower fee should not mean less thinking.
Some people want a traditional brokerage. Some want to handle more themselves. Most simply want to know what they are paying for. Here is how DUFFY compares—in plain English.
Start with the services
Know what the fee covers before you compare the number.
A percentage alone does not tell you who will price the property, explain its value, investigate the offer or watch the contract. Compare the work and the people responsible for it.
Full-service selling with a 1% listing fee.
DUFFY uses a specialized team and a defined process to make the work more efficient while keeping experienced judgment where it matters.
- Strategic Pricing with room for the seller’s goals
- FMLS and GAMLS exposure
- Property Intelligence, Seller Love Letter and Lifestyle Marketing™
- Offer investigation, negotiation and contract review
- Deadline, inspection and closing guidance
Experienced buyer help with a 1.5% fee.
You do the online searching. DUFFY helps with access, research, offer strategy, contracts and the decisions that are harder to make alone.
- Showing coordination for the homes you choose
- Property, neighborhood and disclosure research
- Offer strategy that compares price, terms and risk
- Contract, earnest-money, inspection and deadline guidance
- Finder Fee opportunity when available compensation exceeds our fee
Seller fee example
On a $500,000 sale, a two-point listing-fee difference is $10,000.
That is real money. The next question is whether the lower-fee brokerage still provides the strategy, marketing and contract work you expect.
For a fair comparison: Real-estate fees are negotiable and services vary by brokerage. The 3% figure is an example, not a claim about every agent. Buyer-agent compensation, concessions, closing costs and other transaction expenses are separate from DUFFY’s 1% listing-side fee.
Where the work shows up
DUFFY charges less because the process is organized—not because the important work disappeared.
Pricing
We study the market and explain the tradeoffs. The seller still has the right to ask more when the property has value the comparable sales do not fully show.
Value Marketing
Our Property Intelligence System, Seller Love Letter, Marketing Collages and Lifestyle Marketing™ help buyers understand what makes the home worth more.
Offer Investigation
We look beyond price to financing, deadlines, contingencies, compensation, closing strength and the buyer’s ability to perform.
Contract Protection
We keep changed terms, signatures, exhibits, deadlines, inspection details and closing responsibilities visible throughout the transaction.

Buyer fee example
A 1.5% buyer fee is half of a 3% buyer-fee example.
DUFFY explains the fee before the showing and the offer. Seller-paid compensation may cover some or all of the fee. When available compensation is more than DUFFY’s fee, the difference may be credited to the buyer through the DUFFY Finder Fee, subject to the agreement and closing or lender limits.
Compare the fee. Compare the work. Then choose what fits you.
We will show you the agreement, explain the numbers and answer the hard questions before you commit.
