WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
Like any great business, the 513 Flat Fee Real Estate Group was created to better serve the needs of its customers. But you probably won’t care what we do until you understand why we do it.
After 4 years of working with a traditional real estate brokerage, I was convinced that there had to be a better way to serve my customers. I knew that I could offer a higher quality service for a lower price, but I couldn’t do that with my traditional brokerage’s business model.
So I ventured out into the great unknown of the real estate universe, in search of a brokerage with the perfect business model. I wanted a brokerage that would allow me to customize my services and pricing, in order to offer my customers a much better value than they could get from other agents.
Believe it or not, this type of business model is not common among real estate brokerages. Most are very traditional and old-fashioned – focusing on the way things have always been, rather than on how things should be.
After searching far and wide, I found Fathom Realty.
Since joining Fathom Realty, I’ve had the freedom to tailor my services and pricing to fit the specific needs of each of my customers. As a result, my customers’ satisfaction has increased significantly and my business has thrived.
Perhaps more importantly, I’ve been able to think outside the box and challenge our industry’s norms.
For several years, I’ve wondered why people pay real estate agents a commission to help them sell their homes, rather than a flat fee.
Of course, commissions provide an incentive for listing agents to sell homes for as much as possible. But the reality is that agents don’t have much influence over buyers’ perception of home values.
Buyers can easily find similar homes that have sold recently to determine what homes are worth. And they’re not willing to pay more unless competition from other buyers forces them to.
So if paying a commission rather than a flat fee doesn’t result in a higher sale price, why should homeowners pay a commission?
Some would argue that selling higher-priced homes requires more time and effort – and that’s why agents should get paid more to sell them. On the other hand, agents should get paid less to sell lower-priced homes because they require less time and effort.
In my experience, this is simply not true. Selling any home requires significant time and effort, regardless of its value.
I’ve always given equal time and effort to sell all of my customers’ homes. They deserve my best, whether their homes are worth $100,000 or $1,000,000.
No one should have to pay more simply because they have more. And no one should expect to receive less simply because they have less to give.
That’s why I launched our full service flat fee listings model.
It’s our mission to provide the highest quality service in the industry for the lowest possible price.
Other agents can’t compete with the value we deliver, because their business model doesn’t allow it. They’re stuck doing business the way it’s always been done.
Unfortunately, many homeowners get stuck in this trap as well. They end up paying more or getting less, simply because they don’t know there’s a better option.
If you’ve gotten this far, congratulations! Now you know.
We believe that we offer the best value in the real estate industry. But we also understand that for many, seeing is believing.

Patrick did a great job and was extremely helpful! This was our first time selling a house and Patrick was there to answer all of our questions as soon as they came up. Patrick was very responsive to all feedback coming from potential buyers.
I would highly recommend Patrick and will continue to use him on future home sales and purchases.
I had the opportunity to work with Patrick on my home search. Patrick has been an excellent support with his knowledge of the area and his attention to details.
He was able to point out critical items that I would normally not have noticed, as a first home buyer. He was also available when required and his responses to queries were also fast.
I would definitely recommend Patrick to any home buyer.
We used Patrick when we sold our last house and bought our current one. He did a great job for us.
He is a family man and trustworthy. We recommend him very highly!
Patrick was amazing during our purchase of a house. He helped us locate the perfect home on the market, in an area that would allow our children to go to the same school as they currently are.
We had a particularly stressful time during our mortgage process, with a lender none of us turned out to enjoy, but Patrick was always available to answer questions or assist us in the home buying process, right until closing.
Patrick was honest with us, in opinions on houses, about fees and other real estate related items, and in his advice during negotiations and lender and title company discussions. And he really went out of his way to advocate for us and stayed on the phone and in email conversations coordinating solutions to problems.
It was great working with him, and my wife and I genuinely couldn’t have asked for more from a real estate agent, from a buyer’s perspective. Thanks so much Patrick!
