Chicago Flat Fee Realtors is a Realtor matching and referral marketplace for home buyers and sellers in Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. We do not provide brokerage services directly.

Select your expected sale-price range for an immediate illustration.
Illustration only. Uses the midpoint shown for each range and assumes a 2.75% listing-side fee. Actual fees, services, property value, closing costs, buyer-side compensation, and savings vary. Final terms come directly from the referred professional in a written agreement.
When your referred Realtor enters the property into the applicable MLS, the listing can syndicate to major consumer search websites and participating brokerage sites.
Syndication and display are subject to MLS rules, brokerage settings, platform participation, data-feed policies, and listing eligibility.

Fathi Hajhassan is an independent real estate professional, not an employee of Chicago Flat Fee Realtors. Availability and matching depend on location, service needs, workload, brokerage affiliation, and whether he is an appropriate fit. Zillow figures and review themes are based on the screenshots and information supplied for this profile and should be rechecked before publication.
You do not need to choose a pricing model before requesting a match. Realtor compensation and services are negotiable. The important step is comparing the written scope of service—not assuming that every traditional, reduced-fee, or flat-fee arrangement includes the same support.
A listing or buyer-representation fee calculated as a percentage of the transaction price.
A negotiated percentage lower than a Realtor's standard or initial proposal.
A defined dollar fee for an agreed package of seller or buyer representation services.
A lower-cost arrangement that may primarily provide MLS entry while the seller handles more of the transaction.
Buyer representation may use a percentage, flat fee, hourly or retainer structure, credits, contributions, or another written arrangement.
| Model | How pricing works | Services to confirm | May fit someone who... |
|---|---|---|---|
| Traditional percentage | Percentage of transaction price | Marketing, showings, negotiation, transaction management | Wants a familiar full-service arrangement and accepts price-based compensation |
| Reduced commission | Negotiated lower percentage | Which services, marketing, or support differ from the standard package | Wants broad support with a lower percentage |
| Flat-fee representation | Defined dollar amount | Full scope, payment timing, term, cancellation, and additional charges | Values predictable pricing and a clearly written service package |
| Limited service / MLS entry | Smaller fee for defined limited services | Who handles inquiries, showings, offers, negotiation, disclosures, and closing | Is experienced and prepared to manage more of the sale |
| Buyer representation | Negotiable percentage, flat fee, or other written structure | Touring, search, offer strategy, negotiation, credits, and termination terms | Wants representation with transparent, negotiated compensation |
Compare the Realtor's local experience, responsiveness, strategy, availability, property-type experience, marketing plan, negotiation approach, and written responsibilities together with the fee.
We can connect you with an independent professional for home tours, offer preparation, negotiation guidance, and transaction coordination.
Compare a negotiable flat-fee buyer-representation example with an illustrative percentage-based fee. Adjust the assumptions to see a more realistic potential out-of-pocket difference.
Enter any seller or other credit expected to be applied toward the buyer flat fee, when permitted and agreed in writing. This reduces the estimated flat-fee buyer cost and increases the displayed potential savings.
Illustration only—not a quote or guarantee. Buyer-broker compensation is negotiable. A seller, listing broker, builder, or another source may offer compensation or a credit, or may offer none. The buyer may remain responsible for any amount required under the signed buyer agreement that is not covered by another source. Availability, permitted use of credits, services, flat fees, and final payment obligations depend on the referred professional, the transaction, and the written agreement.
