- Full access to MLS listings for Aspen and the surrounding mountain areas
- Scheduled home showings, accompanied by your broker
- Expert market analysis to help you compare property values and make a confident offer

Get Cash Back When You Buy an Aspen Home
For qualifying Aspen-area purchases of $1 million or more, Colorado Flat Fee Realty offers buyers a commission of only 0.5% of the sale price or $10,000, whichever is greater, rather than the buyer’s agent commission a traditional broker typically charges. Because our commission is lower than the standard rate, the difference is returned to you as a cash rebate at closing.
For example, on a $3.5 million Aspen home, our commission would be just $17,500. The remaining amount is credited back to you at closing — money you can put toward moving costs, renovations, furnishings, or simply keep in savings. A signed rebate agreement with Colorado Flat Fee Realty is required to receive the rebate, and some restrictions apply, so give us a call at 303-300-9660 for the specifics on your situation.
