The Fee Math

What a 1% fee looks like on $400,000

If a buyer’s agent charged 3% (example)

$12,000

If a buyer’s agent charged 3% on a $400,000 home, that would be $12,000. Commissions are negotiable, so the rate in your own agreement may be different.

VroomBrick

$4,000 Technology Fee

On a $400,000 home, a 1% technology fee is $4,000, a difference of $8,000 from the 3% example. The seller pays it at closing, from the sale proceeds. You get showing agents, a licensed closing attorney, lender connections, and your transaction dashboard.

Example only. Commissions are negotiable, so your number depends on what you’d have paid. We’re a technology platform, not a brokerage.
