We think it is wrong for Realtors to charge different fees based upon income or home price. We think is time to start treating every buyer and seller fairly and equally. It is our mission to provide the same high quality service level to every buyer and seller regardless of the price of the home or the income of the client.
To further our mission, instead of charging clients different fees based on income or home price, we charge all of our clients the same flat fee. We understand that buying or selling a home can be a stressful and anxiety riddled process. It is our goal to listen to our clients and help relieve the stress and anxiety by using our experience and knowledge to find the best solutions that fit the particular needs and desires of each client.

With our unique Flat Fee Buyer Rebate, Vermont buyers are able to put cash back in their pockets at closing.

You end paying less for the home because part of the money you paid to the seller ends up back in your pocket.
The seller services we provide include all of the traditional agent services, including property visits, meetings, market analysis, an MLS listing, showings, negotiations, contract review, ongoing guidance, and closing coordination. This service is $3,500 and we only get paid if your house sells. List your property in the MLS so that it is published on all of the high profile real estate websites, including Zillow.

Worked with Matt who is an absolute gem! We're first time homebuyers and in the worst "pandemic" market. Matt was patient, informative and guided us through the whole process from start to finish. I can't imagine going through another realtor and would recommend Matt and Flat Fee 110%

We chose to use Jeff Amato for the sale of our condo and the purchase of our new home as he was highly recommended to us by a close friend. We found his attentiveness and knowledge was stellar. Jeff is very informative and always very quick to respond to us with any questions or concerns we had through the whole process.
In addition, using the Flat Fee model for the sale and the purchase saved us quite a bit of money. In all, we saved $9,115 ($3,045 - sale and $6,070 - purchase) vs. the traditional (6%) model on our sale/purchase.

Jeff Amato came recommended to me by two other couples who just recently bought their own first homes the previous year (always a good start). Then I found out about Flat Fee Realty's pay model (basically they only take $2,500 or 3% of the typical 6% a seller pays, and they give the difference back to you!). It sounds too good to be true. It's not! I already got back around $2k from my home purchase earlier this month.
Once I started looking, I quickly realized that a home in my price point meant you had to act VERY fast if you wanted to get an offer in. Jeff was very responsive and helpful in

I worked with Jeff Amato from Flat Fee. Jeff impressed me starting with our first conversation. He was flexible, responsive, supportive and reassuring through the entire home buying process. He is easy to talk to and provides uncomplicated explanations during an overwhelming time. On top of all of that, we also got a rebate check for just over $4,000 for using Jeff and Flat Fee Real Estate. We are so happy that we had Jeff by our side during the purchase of our first home. I would highly recommend using Jeff to help you buy or sell your next home!

We had such a wonderful experience working with Jeff Amato as our buyer's agent through Flat Fee VT. As first time home buyers it was important for us to have someone who could answer all our questions and guide us through the home buying process smoothly. Jeff was fast to respond to all email, phone, and text correspondence and he answered all of our many questions with speed and precision. Jeff was trustworthy, genuine, and worked with the utmost professionalism while establishing a positive relationship with us as his clients. Jeff helped us negotiate and close on our dream home and in the process

Jeff was invaluable in the purchase of our first home! He was responsive, efficient, and highly knowledgeable - on top of being an all around great guy to work with. We worked briefly with another agent (at another agency) who we didn't feel like had the time for us and decided to make a switch. It was night and day! We couldn't have imagined a smoother or more positive experience. At every step in the buying and negotiating process we were completely confident that he was working for our best interest and could trust his recommendations and guidance. Being first time buyers, it was a relief to

I bought a house last January. They did a pretty good job of showing us houses in our price range that were on the market. We did end up doing a lot of the negotiating for ourselves, but overall it was a good experience. The rebate is a pretty nice end point to dumping your savings into a house. So ya, would totally recommend these guys.

My fiancé and I recently bought a home with the help of Flat Fee Vt. Not only did our agent Dave patiently show us numerous houses but repeatedly went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and informed about our decision.
I previously worked with a realtor and the pushy, hurry up and close mentality was obvious and off putting. If you want service, honesty, and a hassle free experience I highly recommend Flat Fee. Getting a healthy check in the mail after closing was just the icing on the cake.
