the new cost of a transaction ®

RT Brokerage Services, Inc. is a full-service, licensed real estate brokerage in Washington State. We provide consumers with real estate services on a fee-for-service basis. That means we track our time and charge hourly rates for the services provided. The model is like any professional services profession that operates under a fee-for-service compensation basis (e.g., law, accounting, and engineering): you only pay for what you use, and never more than 3% for your side of the transaction.

We as the industry, and to some extent consumers, need to push beyond the traditional model we have always thought of and accepted as real estate sales. Instead of only paying for service in the form of a percentage based commission when a sale results, we’ve changed the model to one in which the value of real estate services is calculated based on the level-of-service and actual time and expenses required to achieve a sale. It is the next generation of real estate services™.
