Why pay a huge commission when you could pay for real estate services like you pay for an attorney—by the hour and only for the stuff you actually need. Imagine calling a realtor and saying, “Hey, I just need you for few hours to take photos, write a snazzy listing, and not guilt me into repainting everything grey.” It’s like hiring a babysitter for a few date nights instead of adopting a full-time nanny with a six-figure salary. You get exactly the help you need, when you need it—no champagne-soaked commissions required.

Hourly real estate services is the Amazon of home selling: you only pay for what you use, you’re in control, and nobody’s forcing you into a long-term, overpriced contract that takes a huge chunk of your equity. Skip the bloated fees and still get pro-level support—just without the part where someone takes $20,000 for putting your home on the MLS and attending a few open houses. Your home and its equity is your gold mine, not a Realtor’s.

Everyone is feeling it, paying a buyer’s agent a fat commission has become somewhat redundant. With apps like Zillow, Redfin, and Realtor.com, you’ve probably already toured half the neighborhood virtually, bookmarked your dream home, and know the elementary school test scores better than the principal. There was a time when a Realtor had the exclusive knowledge of their market, inventory, and where to find a lender. The professional service needed in 2025 is a really smart, experienced real estate expert to help you write a winning offer, negotiate like a boss, and get you through closing—without pretending they discovered the house you found at 2 a.m. in your pajamas?

Think about it, you are already doing a big portion of the work, why pay someone else for your labor?

Thanks to technology, we already bank from our phones, see our doctors on Zoom, and shop for furniture while in the kitchen while making dinner. It’s time to stop paying real estate commissions like it’s 1984 and the Macintosh computer was sophisticated technology and Pong was gaming. With an hourly model, you’re in control, getting expert help where it counts—without subsidizing someone’s highly posh lifestyle.
