1% Listing vs Traditional Agent in Las Vegas – Which Saves You More?
Selling a home in Las Vegas is a big decision.
One of the first questions most sellers ask is how much they will pay in commission.
Traditional agents usually charge 5% to 6% total.
That can add up to tens of thousands of dollars.
But there’s another option.
My RE/MAX 1% listing program lets you sell with full service while paying only 1% commission.
Here’s a clear comparison to help you decide what makes the most sense for you.
What Most Las Vegas Sellers Don’t Know About Commissions
When you sell a home in the Las Vegas Valley, the total commission is usually split between the listing agent and the buyer’s agent.
Traditional agents often charge 2.5% to 3% for the listing side.
Add the buyer’s agent fee and you’re looking at 5% to 6% total.
On a $600,000 home in Summerlin or Henderson, that means $30,000 to $36,000 going to commissions.
Many sellers don’t realize they have a choice.
Side-by-Side Comparison
Here’s how the two options stack up in the Las Vegas real estate market:
- Traditional Agent (5–6% total)
- Higher commission
- Full service (photos, marketing, negotiation)
- You keep less money from the sale
- RE/MAX 1% Home Listing
- Only 1% listing commission on the listing side
- Same full service (photos, marketing, negotiation)
You keep thousands more in your pocket
The service level stays the same.
The only real difference is how much you pay at closing.
Real Savings Examples in Las Vegas Neighborhoods
Let’s look at what this means in actual neighborhoods:
- Summerlin home priced at $650,000
- Traditional fee: ~$16,250 – $19,500

These numbers are based on current 2026 prices.
Your actual savings depend on the final sale price of your home.
What You Still Get with the 1% Listing Program
Many people worry that a lower commission means less service.
That’s not the case here.
You get everything a traditional listing includes:
- Professional photography and virtual tours
- MLS listing plus syndication to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and other major sites
- Digital and social media marketing
- Expert pricing strategy based on local comps in Summerlin, Henderson, and the Las Vegas Valley
- Strong negotiation to protect your bottom line
- Full contract-to-close support through RE/MAX Reliance
I still work just as hard because my reputation depends on successful sales and happy clients.
Common Questions Sellers Ask
Will my home still get full exposure with a 1% listing?
Yes. It goes on the MLS and all the major websites just like a traditional listing.
Is the buyer’s agent fee the same?
The buyer’s agent fee is usually 2% to 2.5% and is negotiable.
We can often lower it depending on the home and market conditions.
What if my situation is more complicated?
I also help with short sales, probate sales, divorce sales, luxury homes, condos, horse properties, and relocation.
We can adjust the approach to fit your needs.
My Recommendation for Most Homeowners
If your home is in good condition and you want to keep more of your equity, the 1% Listing Program usually makes sense.
You get the same level of service without paying the high traditional commission.
