Net Gain Realty: Chicago’s Flat Fee Real Estate Brokerage

Net Gain Realty: Chicago’s Flat Fee Real Estate Brokerage Pricing it right from day one is the only thing that matters when selling your home. Not 2-3% of your home's
value.

Net Gain Realty publishes neighborhood-level Chicago market data and lists homes with full service for a $1,995 flat fee.

04/10/2026

$30,875 in commission. For 5 days on the market.

In March, the median Wicker Park single family home sold for $1,232,500. Under
contract in 5 days. At full asking price.

Buyers found it online. The market set the price. And at 2-3%, the seller
potentially handed over $30,000 for a week of market time.

When a home sells itself in 5 days, paying a percentage of $1.2 million
doesn't make sense.

Net Gain Realty charges $1,995 to list your home. Not a percentage of your
equity.

A guy in Florida just sold his house with ChatGPT.

Five offers. Seventy-two hours. No agent.

He didn't even have MLS access. Just public data, a lawyer, and AI.

Every agent has access to better tools than he used. The full MLS. Every sold comp. Every price band breakdown.

And they're still charging 2-3% to list your property.

I built a tool that finds the exact price band where homes sell fastest. I've run it across 29 Chicago neighborhoods.

Mokena — 3 days, above asking.
Jefferson Park — 5 days, above asking.
Lincoln Park — 7 days, above asking.

That's what $1,995 pays for. Getting the band right on day one, plus professional photos, negotiation, full service from list to close.

The 6% commission survived the internet. I don't believe it survives this.

Commission rates vary by brokerage and are fully negotiable.

Three months of mortgage payments. Carrying costs. Stress. Then they dropped the price anyway.

26% of Orland Park listings have already cut. Those sellers sat for 98 days
before admitting the number was wrong.

Meanwhile, the $300-$350K band. Nine homes. Six days. Full asking.

Go up one band, 24 days. Go up again, 29 days. Every $50K above $350K, the
longer it sits.

They didn't have bad houses. They were in the wrong band on day one.

I built a tool that finds the band before you list. Six days or 98. The band
decides.

Naperville. $750K to $800K. Twelve days. Full asking.

Twenty homes did the same thing last quarter in that one band. But 19% of
active listings already cut their price. Those sellers waited 94 days before
making the move.

Same town. Same quarter. The difference is the band they listed in on day one.

I built a tool that pulls actual sold data and shows you which band is moving
and which one's sitting. Most sellers don't see this breakdown until after
they've already listed.

New Lenox. $515K. 3 days on market.

4 bed, 3.5 bath, pool, finished basement. Sold $5K over asking.

Traditional commission on this home: $10,000 to $15,000.
What this seller paid: $1,995 flat fee.
What stayed in their pocket: $10,800.

Same MLS. Same apps. Same buyers. Different math.

Every neighborhood has different numbers. See yours free at the link in bio

A seller in Florida used ChatGPT to price his home, market it, and sell it in
5 days. Five offers in 72 hours. No agent.

Everyone in the comments is asking the same thing. "What about the pricing?"

That's the whole point. Pricing is what AI does best. I built a tool that
pulls actual sold data and finds the exact price band where homes are moving
fastest.

MLS listing. Professional photos. Showing coordination. Attorney-managed
closing. $1,995 flat.

I believe my fee reflects a new reality. He proved one person can do it. I
built something so you don't have to.

Commission rates vary by brokerage and are fully negotiable.

The question isn't what your home is worth.
It's whether that price range actually has buyers right now.
Most Chicago neighborhoods have 2–4 price bands where homes sell in under 3 weeks near or above asking. The rest can sit for months.
Your home falls into one of those bands. And which one it is changes everything about your sale.
Drop your neighborhood below and I'll show you exactly where demand is sitting right now.

35% of Beverly sellers have already cut their price.
93 days on market. Then the cut. Then still paying commission on the reduced number.
Meanwhile the $300K to $350K band is moving in 20 days. Full asking.
Same neighborhood. Same 90 days. Completely different results.
The difference isn't the market. It's the strategy.

If you own a home in Wicker Park, here's what the last quarter looked like:
45 homes sold. Zero price reductions. Median time to close, 8 days. Median sale price, right at asking.
Not a single seller had to budge on price.
This is the kind of market where the data does the convincing, you don't need a traditional agent taking 2-3% to tell you your home is "hard to sell." It isn't.
At Net Gain Realty, we list your home for $1,995 flat. You keep the equity. Drop a comment or send me a message if you want to see the numbers for your specific block.

Most sellers don't find out what they actually kept until closing day.
Transfer taxes. Title insurance. Attorney fees. And a listing commission that — on a $650K sale — can range from $2,000 to nearly $20,000 depending on who you work with.
That's a real spread. And it's one of the few costs that actually varies.

Speed vs. precision. Which market would you rather sell in?

Wicker Park: 45 homes sold, 8 day median, 100% of asking.
Logan Square: 61 homes sold, 0 price cuts, 0.5 months of supply.

Both working in sellers’ favor just for different reasons.
