Why Agent Promises Rarely Match Reality

ComFree

August 14, 2025

We’ve all met them: those smooth-talking Realtors promising unparalleled service, tireless dedication, and a flawless selling experience. If you’ve used an agent before, you know the reality: inflated promises, minimal effort, and a colossal commission bill at the end.

Traditional real estate agents really want the commission from selling your home. Since over 71% of real estate agents didn’t close a single sale in 2024 (Inman, 2025), they’re desperate to lock in your business—saying whatever they think you want to hear. They paint a picture of comprehensive support and unrivaled expertise, but are they truly delivering value proportional to the tens of thousands of dollars you’re forced to pay?


The Reality Check: What You’re Really Getting from a Traditional REALTOR®

Agent Promise: Dedicated Marketing for Your Home

Reality: Often, a quick listing on MLS, a few mediocre photos, and generic social media posts. The heavy lifting—decluttering, renovating, cleaning, accommodating showings—still falls on you.

ComFree Advantage: We list your home on the MLS and equip you with the knowledge and tools to market your home effectively, including professional photography options and home preparation tips.


Agent Promise: Expert Negotiation Skills

Reality: Their primary “negotiation” may be convincing you to accept a lower offer just to close faster and secure their commission. Their incentive is volume, not maximizing your take-home.

ComFree Advantage: You’re in control! We connect you with trusted legal partners to review every offer, ensuring you understand all terms and maximize your take-home, without an agent rushing you for their cut.


Agent Promise: Full-Service Support, Every Step of the Way

Reality: With an oversaturation of agents, many are stretched thin or lack experience. You might find yourself chasing them for updates or feeling left in the dark.

ComFree Advantage: Access a full library of resources and dedicated, experienced support representatives 7 days a week, so you’re never left in the dark.


Agent Promise: We Handle Everything

Reality: Agents handle only the paperwork they must, but the emotional labor, constant availability for showings, and stress of waiting still fall on you. And for this “service,” they demand thousands of dollars.

ComFree Advantage: Our innovative technology and excellent legal partners simplify the selling process. You maintain control, know exactly what’s happening every step of the way, and save tens of thousands of dollars.
