Real Different. Real Estate.

Real Estate Based In Fairness and Common Sense

At Harbor Living Realty, we believe top-tier real estate service should not rely on an outdated, one-size-fits-all commission structure. So we built something better.

Our modern, fair, efficiency-driven approach delivers full-service representation with the same quality, exposure, and negotiation strength you would expect from a top brokerage, but at a significantly lower cost.

Because of how our pricing works, the average Harbor Living seller saves $8,592, with many saving even more, all without sacrificing professionalism or results.

How It Works

Simple. Transparent. Built on Logic.

Instead of a one-size-fits-all commission, we use a sliding structure based on your home’s value. This approach ensures fair pricing, full transparency, and consistent service at every price point.

As the price of your home increases, our commission rate decreases
Moderately priced homes are charged a fair, balanced rate
Every seller receives full-service representation with clear, upfront pricing

Your commission is tied directly to your actual sale price, not a rigid percentage model designed decades ago.

The Harbor Living Listing Program

Why Traditional Commissions Just Don’t Add Up

Traditional commission models fail to reflect how real estate actually works. For example, a $500,000 home and a $1,000,000 home typically require nearly the same marketing effort and workload, yet many brokerages charge sellers the exact same commission percentage regardless of sales price.

At Harbor Living Realty, our commission structure adjusts intelligently based on your home’s value. You are not paying more simply because your property is worth more. To put it simply, as your home’s value increases, the commission percentage you pay decreases.

The result is the same full-service experience, the same exposure, and the same negotiation strength, while keeping thousands more of your equity at closing.

Why Sellers ❤️ Us!

Calculate Your Commission!

Traditional real estate commissions don’t make sense anymore.

Honestly, they never really have.

Sellers appreciate this model because it is transparent, fair, and easy to understand. You always know exactly what you are paying for and why. As your home’s value increases, your rate improves, so you are never overpaying for the same level of work.

On average, sellers save $8,592 while still receiving top-tier, full-service representation with zero corners cut.

And it is all backed by real experience, including more than 30 years of leadership, $10.6 billion in sales volume, and over 36,000 transactions.

Same quality. Same exposure. Same negotiation power.

Thousands more of your hard-earned equity kept at closing.
