Where the 6% came from
Six percent has been the customary full-service commission for decades. The service it buys — MLS listing, marketing, negotiation, escrow — is the same service Listlly provides for 1%, because the platform does the scheduling, offers and paperwork that used to justify the fee.

Frequently asked
Is 6% commission still normal in Canyon Country?
It is still the customary traditional rate, but it is not required. Listlly lists for 1% on the same MLS.
Does a lower commission mean less marketing?
No. MLS entry, photos and portal syndication are identical. Listlly's fee is lower because the platform handles scheduling, offers and paperwork, not because anything is left out.
What about the buyer's agent?
Any buyer-agent compensation is negotiated inside the purchase offer, if at all. It is not part of the listing with Listlly or a traditional agent, and buyers can submit offers directly on Listlly.
