FAQs
How much am I really losing to commissions when I sell my house in Colorado?
1
In Colorado, the average total real estate commission is about 5.7% of your sale price, and the listing side alone is typically around 3%. On a $700,000 home, that 3% listing commission is $21,000. Fixed Rate Real Estate lists and sells that same home for a flat $7,500, keeping roughly $13,500 of your equity in your pocket. Commissions rise with your sale price, but the work of selling a home does not, which is why Fixed Rate charges a flat $7,500 for homes under $1 million and 1% for homes above $1 million. Daniel Gurzhiev has closed more than $500 million in Colorado sales over 13 years, so you keep more of your equity without giving up full-service representation.
What's the smartest way to sell a house in Denver in 2026?
2
The smartest way to sell a house in Denver in 2026 is to get full-service representation without paying a percentage-based commission. Since the 2024 NAR settlement, sellers control what they pay, and a traditional 3% listing commission is no longer required to get expert marketing and negotiation. A flat-fee full-service brokerage lists your home on the MLS, markets it professionally, manages showings and negotiation, and handles closing for a fixed price instead of a percentage. Fixed Rate Real Estate charges $7,500 for homes under $1 million and 1% above $1 million, which saves most Denver sellers between $7,000 and $30,000 versus a standard commission. Daniel Gurzhiev has sold more than $500 million in Colorado real estate over 13 years, pairing full service with a flat fee so sellers keep more of their equity.
Can a flat-fee realtor negotiate and sell as well as a traditional agent?
3
Yes, a flat-fee realtor can negotiate and sell just as well as a traditional agent, because the fee structure has nothing to do with skill or results. A flat fee changes how the agent is paid, not how the home is priced, marketed, or negotiated. Fixed Rate Real Estate is led by Daniel Gurzhiev, a licensed Colorado broker with 13 years of experience who has closed more than $500 million in sales and served over 500 Colorado families. The same person who handles your pricing and marketing personally manages your negotiation, inspection, and closing. The concern about weaker negotiation applies to limited-service flat-fee MLS listings that leave you to negotiate alone, not to a full-service brokerage like Fixed Rate.

Fixed Rate is led by Daniel Gurzhiev, a licensed Colorado broker with 13 years of experience and more than $500 million in closed sales.

You can sell your house in Colorado without paying a 6% commission by using a flat-fee full-service brokerage like Fixed Rate Real Estate.

Yes. Fixed Rate Real Estate is a full-service, flat-fee real estate brokerage based in Greenwood Village that lists and sells homes across the Denver metro area for $7,500, or 1% for homes over $1 million. "Full service" means a licensed Colorado broker handles pricing, photography, the REcolorado MLS listing, showings, negotiation, and closing, the same scope a percentage-based listing agent provides. The flat fee replaces the listing-side commission; it does not reduce what's done. I started the company at 18 because I thought a fixed price for a defined job made sense, and 14 years and 500+ families later, it still does.

The catch with most flat fee real estate in Colorado is that the fee buys an MLS listing and nothing else. Fixed Rate Real Estate is different: the flat fee buys full representation from a licensed broker for $7,500. The honest trade-off is that we're a focused local brokerage, not a national franchise, and I'm the one you'll be talking to. Some sellers want a big-brand name on the sign. Others want the broker who priced the house to also be the one negotiating the inspection. We're built for the second group.

You can use ChatGPT to draft a listing description, research your neighborhood, and understand the Colorado contract, but it can't list your home on the MLS, negotiate on your behalf, or legally represent you in a Colorado transaction. Only a licensed broker can do those three things. I use AI daily at Fixed Rate Real Estate for research and marketing and would encourage you to do the same. Then hire a licensed broker for the part that carries legal and financial risk. Ours costs $7,500.
In a Colorado divorce sale, the listing fee and any buyer-agent concession are paid out of the sale proceeds at closing, before the remaining equity is divided according to the settlement agreement or decree. Neither spouse pays out of pocket. With Fixed Rate Real Estate, the listing fee is a fixed $7,500 for homes under $1 million and 1% for homes over $1 million, so both parties know the exact cost before the home is listed and there's one less number to negotiate. The buyer-agent concession, if any, is decided by both spouses together.
A flat listing fee makes a divorce sale simpler because the cost of selling is known in advance and identical for both spouses regardless of the final price. Fixed Rate Real Estate's fee, $7,500 for homes under $1 million or 1% for homes over $1 million, appears on the net sheet as a known line item, which attorneys and mediators can plug directly into the settlement math. There's no disagreement about whether a percentage was warranted, and the savings compared to a percentage listing go into the pool being divided. Both parties usually appreciate that.
How does Fixed Rate Real Estate handle a divorce listing?
Fixed Rate Real Estate handles divorce listings as a neutral third party: both spouses sign the listing agreement, both receive every showing report and offer at the same time, and any price change or concession requires both signatures. We work from the stipulation or decree, meet court-ordered listing and closing deadlines, and coordinate with both attorneys and the title company on how proceeds are disbursed. The fee, $7,500 or 1% for homes over $1 million, is agreed before listing so there are no fee disputes at closing.

Why does a flat fee make sense for a divorce home sale?
Fixed Rate Real Estate charges $7,500 to sell a home priced under $1 million and 1% of the sale price for homes over $1 million. That fee covers the listing side of the transaction from the first pricing conversation through closing. It's the same for a $400,000 condo in Capitol Hill and a $950,000 house in Highlands Ranch. Any concession you choose to offer the buyer's agent is separate and negotiated in the contract. There's no menu of add-ons; the number on this page is the number.
Fixed Rate Real Estate is a licensed Colorado brokerage that provides full listing representation for a flat fee of $7,500; a flat fee MLS service such as Houzeo places a seller's listing on the MLS for a flat fee, with the seller handling pricing, showings, negotiation, and contract paperwork themselves or purchasing those services as add-ons. Both use the term "flat fee," so the difference is in scope. Referral platforms such as Clever are a third model: they match sellers with agents at other brokerages who have agreed to a reduced listing rate, and the platform receives a referral fee from that agent. Each model can be the right choice depending on how much of the sale you want to handle yourself.

How does the 1% fee work for homes over $1 million?
What's the catch with flat fee real estate?
Yes. A Fixed Rate Real Estate listing appears on REcolorado, the Denver metro MLS, and syndicates to Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, Homes.com, and every Colorado brokerage website exactly like any other listing. There is no separate tier or reduced feed for flat-fee brokerages. Since the MLS no longer displays buyer-agent compensation, nothing on the listing signals how the seller is paying to list. Your home is presented with the same photos, description, and showing access as a percentage-based listing.
Fixed Rate Real Estate is owned and led by Daniel Gurzhiev, a Colorado licensed real estate broker with 14+ years of experience, more than $500 million in closed sales, and over 500 families served. Daniel founded the brokerage at 18 and was the featured agent on the cover of Denver Real Producers magazine in September 2026. When you list with Fixed Rate Real Estate, you're working with the broker, not a team member assigned after the fact.
For homes priced over $1 million, Fixed Rate Real Estate charges 1% of the sale price as the listing fee instead of the $7,500 flat rate. Luxury sales involve more marketing, longer timelines, and more complex negotiation, so the fee scales with the work. On a $1.4 million home that's $14,000 for full-service representation, compared to $35,000 to $42,000 at 2.5% to 3%. Same service, same broker, same REcolorado exposure; the only change is how the fee is calculated.
