Why Fixed Fees Beat Commission Every Time

If you are selling a home worth £300,000 with a traditional estate agent charging 1.5% commission, you will pay £4,500 in fees. With Alexandria Hamilton, you pay £495. That is a saving of over £4,000.

The hidden cost of commission

Commission-based fees create a misalignment of incentives. The more your home sells for, the more the agent earns. This sounds fair until you realise that agents are incentivised to sell quickly rather than hold out for the best price — because a quick sale at a slightly lower price still earns them thousands.
