Professional MLS listing service for one low flat fee. Trusted by Denver homeowners with over 35 years of experience in every aspect of real estate.
If you’re selling a home in Denver, you’ve likely seen traditional real estate agents charging 5-6% commission on your sale price. For a typical Denver home selling at $550,000 (the current median), that’s over $30,000 in commission fees. A flat fee realtor offers a smarter alternative designed specifically for Denver homeowners who want professional service without the traditional 6% commission.
At Colorado Flat Fee Realty, we’ve been serving Denver homeowners since 2008 with a simple philosophy: you shouldn’t have to pay traditional real estate commissions to receive professional real estate services. Instead, you pay one transparent flat fee while still getting full MLS exposure and expert guidance throughout your sale.
This model is particularly valuable in Denver’s competitive real estate market, where home values have increased significantly.
A flat fee real estate agent provides the same core services as traditional agents but structures their compensation differently. Rather than earning a higher fee when your Denver home sells for more, we charge one clear, upfront fee regardless of your sale price.
Whether you’re selling in Capitol Hill, Highlands, Park Hill, or any Denver neighborhood, you get the same visibility and professional support as homes listed with traditional agents.
Some homeowners worry that a discount realtor means less exposure. This is a misconception. MLS access is one of the most valuable services any realtor provides, and it costs the same whether you pay 6% commission or use a flat fee service.
The Multiple Listing Service (MLS) is the database that real estate agents use to find homes for buyers. In Denver, we list on REcolorado, which automatically syndicates your listing to:
This means:
“To Anyone Listing or Buying a Home, “It is with pleasure and gratitude that we share comments on our experience in the listing and sale of our home. While we have bought and sold a number of houses, we have never before encountered such a level of excellence, along with the savings of over $14,500 in realtor commissions. Our home sold in just over a month!”
— Timothy & Terry Walter

“We decided to use John Vizzi and Colorado Flat Fee Realty after hearing about the great job he did for our father a few years ago. We were not disappointed. John came over and spent a couple hours with us to go through the house, finalize our asking price and discuss the process. He was very clear about the flat fee and commission structure. It was easy to understand the savings over the traditional (3% to listing agent + 3% buyer’s agent) model. ”

No. This is the most common myth about flat fee real estate. MLS-listed homes are visible to all licensed agents in Denver. Buyer’s agents search the MLS based on their client’s criteria (location, price, bedrooms, etc.)—not based on how the listing agent is compensated.
Additionally, buyer agent compensation is clearly displayed in the MLS listing. Buyer’s agents are incentivized to show your home because they earn their commission from the sale. In fact, many buyer’s agents prefer working with flat fee listings because the sellers tend to be more informed and motivated.
Yes, absolutely. Flat fee real estate is fully legal and regulated by the Colorado Division of Real Estate, just like traditional real estate services. All flat fee brokers must maintain the same licensing, follow the same regulations, and adhere to the same ethical standards as traditional brokers.
Colorado Flat Fee Realty holds an active Colorado real estate broker license and follows all state and federal fair housing laws.
No. Your final selling price depends on three factors: market conditions, pricing strategy, and property presentation—not how your listing agent is paid.
In Denver’s competitive market, homes priced correctly with professional photos and full MLS exposure attract multiple offers regardless of commission structure. Many of our Denver sellers receive multiple offers and sell at or above asking price.
What’s most important is that with a flat fee structure, you keep more of your final sale price rather than paying a high traditional commission.
Flat fee realtors provide professional services and MLS access; FSBO sellers typically don’t have either.
When selling FSBO in Denver, you don’t have:
With a flat fee realtor, you get all the benefits of professional representation and MLS exposure while still saving significantly on commission costs.

Yes. Seller can co-op any commission structure they desire with buyers’ agent. This compensation is separate from your flat listing fee and is paid at closing from your proceeds.

Our pricing analysis will give you realistic expectations based on recent sales in your specific area.
“I needed to sell my mother’s home when I learned about John flat fee real estate services. Having little knowledge of the real estate process, I appreciated John’s expertise and the house sold in one day for full asking price without paying the usual realtor fee of 6%. The cost savings was $7,500.00. From the initial writing of the contract to the closing, John handled the transaction in a professional and timely manner. I’m very appreciative of the service he provided.”

Not only did you save us $8,800 dollars, you provided us with the best, full service real estate representation we could ever have hoped for. We appreciated your no-nonsense approach, candor, and humor through a very challenging transaction. We are convinced that your 35+ years of experience was the only reason we successfully closed on the sale of our house in Thornton, CO.
