Instead of charging commission as a percentage of the home sale price, they charge a flat fee.

A flat fee realtor is a real estate professional who charges a set fee for their services rather than a commission based on the sale price of the home.

Hi Harvey, this is a service by a brokerage that rather than charging a percentage to sell, they charge just that, a flat fee to sell. Most flat fee services are less expensive than the percentage in commission expenses but not necessarily so.

A flat fee is a fixed commission that a real estate property seller/buyer pays a realtor instead of a percentage-bases commission based on the final sale price of the property.
The amount of the sell price does not impact the final fee you pay for the service.
