How to Save Thousands When Selling Your Home in Nashville or Williamson County — Without Sacrificing Service

Written By alana leblanc

If you're thinking about selling your home in Franklin or anywhere in Williamson County, you've probably already started doing the math on what it might cost. Between agent commissions, closing costs, and repairs, it can feel overwhelming — especially if you're trying to preserve your equity.

As a real estate broker with over 10 years of experience, I saw the same thing happening again and again: homeowners were paying 5–6% in commissions. With the advancement of technology making our jobs more streamlined — and homeowners doing most of the work to get their homes prepped — it just didn’t feel right. That’s why I launched New Era Realty, a full-service, flat-fee brokerage based right here in Middle Tennessee.

Let’s break down how flat-fee real estate works — and why it might be exactly what you’ve been looking for.

What Is a Flat-Fee Real Estate Model?

Traditional agents charge a percentage of your sale price — often 3% on the list side. On a $750,000 home, that’s $22,500 in commission. (Buyers agent compensation is and always has been negotiable.)

With New Era Realty, you pay a simple flat fee:

  • $7,500 for homes under $1M

  • $10,000 for homes over $1M

That’s it.
No surprise fees. No watered-down service. Just results.

What’s Included in That Flat Fee?

You get the same (and often better) service you’d expect from a top-tier agent:

  • Professional photography & video

  • MLS listing and full online exposure

  • Open house coordination

  • Expert pricing strategy

  • Negotiation and contract management

  • Trusted vendor referrals

  • Hands-on support from listing to closing

I don’t cut corners — I just cut the commission.

Who Is This For?

This model works especially well for:

  • FSBO (For Sale By Owner) sellers who feel stuck or overwhelmed

  • Experienced homeowners who don’t want to give pay outrageous commissions

  • Luxury sellers who want top-tier marketing without the markup

  • Faith-driven or value-conscious clients who care about fairness, integrity, and transparency

Why I Built New Era Realty

I believe real estate needs to evolve.
We’re in a new era where buyers and sellers are more informed — and they deserve an option that honors their effort and equity.

At New Era, we do things differently:

  • No pressure. No games.

  • Clear pricing. Full service.

  • A local expert who cares about people more than paychecks.
