The Numbers Don’t Lie
In business, numbers tell the truth — and for most builders, the math behind traditional home sales just doesn’t add up anymore.
When you’re paying 5% commission on every sale, you’re surrendering tens (or hundreds) of thousands of dollars in profit every year.
That’s cash that could be fueling growth, funding new lots, or supporting your next marketing campaign.
So what does the math look like when you switch to ComFree’s flat-fee model? Let’s break it down.
The $497 vs 5% Equation
Traditional Realtor Model VS. ComFree Builder Model
| Home Price | $500,000 | $500,000 |
|---|---|---|
| Commission | 5% = $25,000 | Flat $497 |
| 10 Homes/Year | $250,000 lost | $4,970 total |
| Annual Savings | $245,030 |
That’s nearly a quarter-million dollars back in your pocket every single year — for doing the exact same work, with even greater reach.
How It Adds Up
Let’s say you’re a builder with 20 homes this year.
Your traditional commission payout could be $500,000.
With ComFree, that same exposure costs less than $10,000.
That’s $490,000 saved — enough to fund a new community launch, add staff, or scale your marketing across multiple regions.
Faster Sales = More ROI
The benefits aren’t just financial — they’re operational.
ComFree listings gain exposure on REALTOR.ca immediately, which means:
-
Faster buyer inquiries
-
Less carrying cost per unit
-
Better absorption rates
That speed-to-sale drives even higher returns on your marketing investment.
Proof in Practice: Prairie View Homes
One Alberta builder tested ComFree with five spec homes.
They spent $2,485 total — and sold every home in 45 days.
They saved $60,000 in commissions and cleared inventory before spring.
That’s the ROI of $497.
The Smartest Line Item in Your 2025 Budget
Marketing managers measure ROI on every dollar.
Now imagine measuring it on $497 — a single flat fee that can move inventory and reduce overhead instantly.
That’s not marketing.
That’s strategy.
