Save Thousands Selling Or Buying Your Vail Home
For buyers purchasing high-end properties valued at $1 million or more, our service offers a commission of only 0.5% of the sale price or $10,000 whichever is greater.
This is significantly lower than the typical broker fee of 2.8%. For example, on a $3.5 million home, our commission would be just $17,500, compared to the typical $98,000. The remaining amount, in this case, $80,500, is returned to you as a rebate at closing. Imagine what you could do with this extra money from your Vail real estate purchase rebate!

Selling a home can be a very trying time and I want to thank the team for making our experience seamless. John is a true professional and his knowledge of the business is invaluable. Not only did he sell our property in 3 days he also saved us over $3000.00. I highly recommend Arapahoe Properties and look forward to doing more business with John & his team in the future.
Good Afternoon John and Sue,
Colorado Flat Fee Realty, Inc. listed and sold our house for us this last fall for full asking price. We talked to two other agents, charging full commission, and both wanted to list our house for close to 50K less than Colorado Flat Fee Realty, Inc. Not only did we make more money on our house, we also saved close to 10 thousand dollars in commissions by using them. With the hot market, the house sold for full price with a contract on the place in three days. We have been extremely happy with the work they have done and the responsiveness.
Looking back on the process of hiring Colorado Flat Fee Realty a few months ago, we really did hit the jackpot. Overall the experience was as good as it possibly could have been.
We were in danger of signing up a “friend” as the agent for a house we were getting ready to sell. That agent recommended $275K as a sell price, where when we spoke with John, you recommended a number $45K higher. Especially as the Mother-in-law apartment was a great asset to the property. Also, that agent said that the “Fall” time period, was a bad time to sell, and maybe we should get renters until the following summer.
That same agent had also discussed putting some more money into the landscaping to help it sell. Where you said it looked good and the house should sell as-is.
Two or three days later we signed a contract with Colorado Flat Fee Realty, you then had it on the market a few days after that. We had a solid contract in 3 days, with a bonus of $3,000 above asking price. With your Flat Fee saving, you were savings us another $10K in commissions. So we are at least $60,000 better by doing business with you. That is the money people hope to get after holding on to a home for many years.
We shouldn’t forget, Sue helped us find a new house, and we are thrilled with that experience. Once again, we were going to offer $525K, you recommended $490K, we closed for $509K. We figure you saved us another $15K or more.
So that’s what I mean by hitting the jackpot, $75,000 ahead. Of course we’ll be a reference for you any time you give our name out.
Later we thought about how you had said you were a full service company, and I can tell you from the purchase and sale of a dozen other houses in the past, that you were as good or better on the service side, and will be our recommendation any time someone asks.
Regards Happy Home Owners
What an amazing program that saved me thousands of dollars in real estate fees. The scheduling service was one like I have never seen where I was emailed not only the showings but also any feedback. I loved being kept informed all through the process. The best part was that we had three offers come in by day six. That is the fastest I have ever had a home sell. Thank you.
I was referred by a work colleague. I called on a Friday and John came out and met with me the next morning. John walked me through the entire process. I asked many of the 'obvious' questions about 'flat fee' selling. Not to my surprise, the process went as smoothly as John explained. 30+ pictures were professional and showed off my house better than I could have expected. Showings were handled using web and/or phone calls. Reviews online. The house sold for what I wanted. Closing was as simple as signing my name (a few times).
