How to read the savings math

This page uses KAT Realty published seller pricing and a 3% listing-commission scenario because KAT uses that benchmark in its public savings examples. The comparison is an illustration, not a promise of final net proceeds.

Sellers should separately consider buyer-agent compensation, repairs, concessions, title costs, lender requirements, and whether a flat-fee provider includes the support they need.

Who should start with KAT

KAT may be worth comparing when the seller wants full-service listing help but does not want the listing-side fee to scale with sale price.

Who may prefer a traditional listing agent

A traditional percentage-based listing agent may still fit sellers who want a specific agent relationship, luxury-market specialization, intensive local marketing, or a fee structure they already understand and trust.

Total-cost caveats

Comparison pages should be read as model comparisons, not universal rankings. Buyer-agent compensation, lender treatment, add-ons, property price, and service scope can materially change which provider is the better fit.
