Same model • Top 2% Agent Nationwide
Same MLS. Same Contracts. Same Exposure. Different Results.
DUFFY uses the same MLS systems, the same major real estate websites, the same professional contract forms, the same contract process, the same lockboxes, and the same showing systems as every other brokerage. Nothing is stripped down. Nothing is skipped.
The difference is precision. We pay close attention to contract positioning, contingency management, deadline control, and strategic marketing that protects your leverage from listing through closing.
What 1% Actually Means
- DUFFY’s listing fee is 1% of the final sales price.
- Buyer agent compensation is separate and only applies when a buyer is represented by an agent.
- If a buyer is unrepresented, there is no buyer agent commission owed.
- No hidden layers. No surprise add-ons. No vague fine print.
- Full contract protection — deadlines, disclosures, contingencies, and negotiations handled with precision.
We start with the same industry-standard tools. We add tighter execution and stronger protection. And we charge 1%.
Rare in the Industry
A DUFFY Standout
IF and only IF, you would like to show your home to friends, neighbors, or buyers who reach out directly — you can. At your request, DUFFY will forward buyer inquiries to you, and you are welcome to host your own open houses.
If you bring us a buyer who is not represented by an agent, there is no buyer’s agent commission owed. You keep the savings.
DUFFY prepares the contract, negotiates terms, and protects your interests through closing. You control the access. We protect the contract.

Real Numbers

Clean math. No hype. Just a simple comparison so you can see what you keep.
Note: Buyer agent compensation is separate and only applies when a buyer is represented by an agent. If the buyer is unrepresented, there is no buyer’s agent commission owed.
How the 1% fee works
- Commission is paid at closing out of the sale proceeds — the closing attorney disburses it.
- DUFFY can charge 1% because we run standardized workflows and tools that remove inefficiency while keeping protection high.
- Want premium visuals? Optional marketing upgrades (like pro photography) start at $175. You can use ours or yours — our priority is buyer-confidence visuals that protect your price.
Proven
Experience You Can Verify
Scale matters. Longevity matters. Verified results matter.
DUFFY has navigated divorce sales, estate transactions, relocations, new construction, pre-foreclosures, downsizing, upsizing, and complex negotiations across multiple market cycles.
When the market shifts, experience is not optional — it is protective.
DUFFY’s Protection-First Business Model
No pressure. We’ll show you the repeatable system, the plan, and the numbers.
Contract Loophole Defense
We treat the contract like a protection document — not paperwork. We reduce risk, tighten terms, and keep leverage where it belongs: with the seller.
- Cleaner terms + fewer surprises
- Inspection / appraisal protection strategies
- Deadline control + enforcement
Buyer Psychology + Clarity
When your listing answers buyer questions up front, buyers act faster and negotiate less. Clarity creates confidence — and confidence protects price.
- Remark strategy that reduces uncertainty
- Positioning that supports your number
- Fewer “reach” offers and nitpicks
Systemized Listing Launch
The fee is lower because the system is smarter — not because we do less. We standardize what works, so every listing gets a strong, repeatable launch.
- Pre-list prep + pricing accuracy
- Photos / copy / exposure handled fast
- Momentum early to avoid discounting
Seller Protection System

-
8
If appropriate, add virtual staging to help buyers “see” the lifestyle.
We Go Deeper Than Other Listings
Most agents rush the remarks. DUFFY runs a repeatable system so details don’t slip.
