Our take: Clever is our top pick in Dallas-Fort Worth for home sellers looking to save on realtor commission without sacrificing full service.
What we like: Clever gets you discounted rates (up to 50%) from non-discount realtors. Plus, Clever’s agent matching service is highly rated and free to use with no obligation.
How it works: Clever matches you with top local realtors from major brokerages like RE/MAX and Compass. You compare options to find the best fit and get the special 1.5% listing fee (same as Redfin) no matter which real estate agent you choose.
Pros
- Sell with a traditional agent from a name-brand brokerage (not a discount agent) and receive full service
- Agents work for up to 50% off their typical rate when you go through Clever
- Most real estate agent selection by far — choose from hundreds of top DFW-area realtors
Cons
- No guarantee you’ll be able to work with a specific agent or brokerage you have in mind
- Add-ons like professional staging, drone photos, and 3D tours may cost extra (agents will break down what’s included during their listing presentation)
Fee structure
- 1.5% listing fee ($3,000 min.) at closing
- 2–3% buyer’s agent commission at closing

Our take: Redfin’s discount real estate service offers a decent value overall for most home sellers in Dallas.
What we like: Redfin’s 1.5% listing fees can net you solid savings, and you can get an additional 0.5% listing fee savings if you sell and buy with Redfin within 12 months. Redfin is also a large, well-established discount real estate broker with more real estate agents to choose from than many local discount realtors.
Things to watch out for: Redfin’s tech-centric and team-based approach to selling isn’t for everyone. Redfin conducts most of the process remotely, and you work with a Lead Agent and a back-office team. Redfin also has a minimum $4,500 fee in Dallas-Fort Worth. So if your home is at or below the $300k mark, you’ll pay slightly more than the advertised 1.5% rate.
Pros
- Solid listing fee savings
- Established brand and decent discount agent selection
- Tech-forward approach may appeal to some sellers
Cons
- Slightly higher minimum fee vs. other Dallas-Fort Worth options
- High-volume, team-centric approach may not be for everyone
- Less real estate agent selection than Clever
- Pay a slightly higher fee if selling homes priced below $300k
Fee structure
- 1.5% listing fee ($4,500 min, in Dallas-Fort Worth) at closing
- 2–3% buyer’s agent commission at closing
- 0.5% listing fee refund if you also buy within 12 months

Our take: If you’re buying and selling a house in Dallas-Fort Worth (as opposed to selling then moving out of town), Team Nelson is a discount real estate broker that’s worth looking into.
What we like: Big potential savings! If you also buy your new home with Team Nelson, you get a 0% listing fee when you sell your home. The real estate company also has excellent reviews and solid sales performance.
Things to watch out for: Keep in mind that the 0% listing fee is only if you buy and sell with Team Nelson. So if you’re selling but not buying, Team Nelson offers no savings. Team Nelson likely has fewer real estate agents to choose from than bigger brands like Redfin and Clever, so it’s worth interviewing a few other brands to ensure you get the best fit — especially if you’re committing to sell and buy.
Pros
- Best overall savings if you sell and buy
- Highly rated by customers
- Top producer in Dallas-Fort Worth
Cons
- Savings only available if you buy and sell in DFW
- Less real estate agent selection than brands like Clever and Redfin
Fee structure
- 0% listing fee (if you also buy with them)
- 3% buyer’s agent commission at closing

Our take: DFW 1% Listings seems active and credible, but limited data makes it hard to recommend over other discount real estate brokers on our list.
What we like: DFW 1% Listings offers solid value and savings on paper. Home sellers pay a 1.5% listing fee at closing and receive full service, including virtual tours and staging advice.
Things to watch out for: While the discount realtor appears active with a solid number of past 12-month transactions, limited online customer reviews makes it difficult to verify the quality of the service and customer satisfaction level.
Pros
- 1.5% listing fee offers solid commission savings
- Additional savings opportunity if you also buy
- Virtual tours included
Cons
- Less real estate agent selection than Redfin and Clever
- Limited customer reviews make it hard to verify service quality
Fee structure
- 1.5% listing fee ($3,000 min.) at closing
- 2–3% buyer’s agent commission at closing

Our take: DFWCityhomes offers lower rates than other local options, but other real estate brands like Clever, Redfin, and Team Nelson have stronger online reputations and no upfront fees.
What we like: DFWCityhomes’ 1% listing fee is a solid rate for a full-service discount real estate broker and could net you big savings. And the reviews the company does have are generally positive.
Things to watch out for: The nonrefundable, upfront $750 fee is a big drawback. Most full-service discount realtors don’t charge upfront fees — you only pay from your proceeds at closing. DFWCityhomes also lacks recent reviews and has fewer reviews overall compared to our top picks, which makes it hard to assess the quality of the service.
Pros
- 1% listing fee is less than most other local options
Cons
- Requires nonrefundable, upfront fee
- Hard to gauge service quality due to limited data
Fee structure
- $750 nonrefundable fee due upfront
- 1% listing fee due at closing
- 2–3% buyer’s agent commission at closing
Other offerings
DFWCityhomes also offers a wide range of DIY, flat fee MLS listing options. Prices range from $495–995 upfront and $0–3,000 due at closing, depending on the service scope you choose. Learn more on DFWCityhomes’ website.

Our take: VIP Realty offers flat fee real estate brokerage with a local touch for Fort Worth residents, but it doesn’t offer as much agent selection as Redfin or Clever.
What we like: The $3,500 flat fee offered at VIP Realty simplifies costs for home sellers, and the broker advertises a personalized experience for Fort Worth residents. All of VIP Realty’s flat fee listings include professional photography, showing assistance, and contract negotiations.
Things to watch out for: VIP Realty has a smaller team than other discount real estate options in Fort Worth, which means they may not have the right agent for you. Also, the flat fee may not be as cost-effective as other discount real estate brokers in Fort Worth.
Pros
- Flat fee structure keeps listing fees simple
- Significant savings if selling expensive properties
- Work with a local real estate team in Fort Worth
Cons
- Smaller real estate agent selection than other services
- The flat fee may be higher than other discount brokers
Fee structure
- $3,500 listing fee at closing
- Recommended 3% buyer’s agent commission at closing

Our take: Prevu Real Estate offers full service for a competitive 1.5% listing fee (minimums may apply), but its real value is geared toward home buyers, with up to a 2% commission rebate when you purchase a home.
What we like: Prevu offers a decent 1.5% listing fee, which is still lower than most brokerages in the Fort Worth area.
Things to watch out for: With little information available about the company’s specific performance in Fort Worth, it’s challenging to determine how Prevu matches up against local competitors. According to its website, Prevu is most active in New York. Also, it’s unclear what its minimum commission fee is and if it varies by location.
Pros
- Good savings with 1.5% listing fee
- Established multi-state operation
- Online platform allows for easy communication with your discount realtor
Cons
- Fewer agent options compared to larger brands like Redfin and Clever
- Limited customer review and transaction data in the Fort Worth market
- Unclear what the minimum listing fee is
Fee structure
- 1.5% listing fee at closing
- 1.5–2.5% buyer’s agent commission at closing

Our take: Crawford Realty advertises one of the lowest listing commission rates for Fort Worth residents, but this brokerage requires a nonrefundable, upfront fee for one of its plans.
What we like: The broker is based in Austin, so you’ll work with a local team from Texas when you sell your house through Crawford Realty. There are two listing packages designed to meet the needs of different sellers.
What to watch out for: Sellers who opt for the 1% selling package will spend more on listing fees than those who choose the flat fee listing. Crawford Realty doesn’t disclose its suggested buyer’s agent commission online. If the broker negotiates lower than most realtors, it could discourage buying agents from showing Crawford Realty’s listings. Lastly, in–person interaction may be limited in Fort Worth because the team’s headquarters is in Austin.
Pros
- Both listing packages offer significant discounts compared to the typical 3% listing rate
- You only pay $550 if you sell your home on your own (with the flat fee package)
- Work with a local Texas team
Cons
- Opting for the 1% package could save you upfront but costs you in the long run
- The broker is headquartered in Austin (may limit in-person contact)
- No suggested buyer’s agent commission disclosed online
Fee structure
Plan 1:
- $500 upfront
- $1,500 listing fee at closing
Plan 2:
- 1% listing fee at closing
Recommended buyer’s agent commission not disclosed online.

Other discount real estate brokerages in Fort Worth
Assist-2-Sell is a discount real estate franchise and flat fee MLS company that’s been around for decades but has recently been on the decline. Local offices generally provide full-service and tiered, flat fee pricing models, but the specifics vary by branch. We didn’t include Assist-2-Sell Sellers and Buyers Realty, the office listed in Assist-2-Sell’s main directory, because of limited data. We found no pricing details, transactions, or customer reviews to suggest the company is still active in the Fort Worth area.
Best Choice Flat Fee is a discount real estate broker that offers service tiers with relatively low upfront flat fees, but the lack of reviews and transaction data doesn’t give insight into its service quality. The company also charges for shipping a for-sale sign and lockbox, unlike other discount brands. As a result, Best Choice Flat Fee did not make our list of top Fort Worth discount real estate brokers.
Hybrid Agent Homes is a discount realtor that advertises “up to 2.5%” savings” when you list your home, but we couldn’t find detailed information about its services or pricing on its website. Additionally, we couldn’t find any customer reviews or transaction records, leading us to leave Hybrid Agent Homes off our Fort Worth list.
4 A Choice Realty is a discount real estate brokerage based in Hurst, TX, that offers a $990 full-service package. However, the company lacks key details about what its service includes. We didn’t include it on our Fort Worth list due to a lack of transparency, customer reviews, and transaction data.

Why trust us
Data sources
Our Research Team gathered 347+ discrete pricing and service models to create our initial list of Dallas-Fort Worth discount real estate brokerages. We then compiled and analyzed a further 30,000+ publicly-available data points tied to past transactions, customer reviews, and licensing info, and more to categorize each service and create our final list and rankings.
Methodology
The Real Estate Witch Team used public business directories to identify every company in the greater Dallas-Fort Worth region calling itself a discount real estate broker or agent. We then filtered that list down and ranked the top DFW options based on the following criteria:
- Service level: We only included and rated full-service discount realtors and brokerages to start, which we think are the best option for most home sellers. These companies offer the same key services you’d expect from a traditional realtor, including in-person representation and end-to-end support.
- Pricing: We assessed each company’s fee structure and cross-referenced it with the service model to determine who was offering (a) the best overall value — price vs. service — and (b) the fewest unfavorable pricing terms, like high minimums, nonrefundable upfront fees, or other hidden costs.
- Customer reviews: We evaluated all verifiable customer reviews for each service. We considered not only the total review counts, average customer ratings, and key positive and negative themes, but also assessed factors like how recent and relevant the reviews were to customers making hiring decisions right now.
- Sales activity: We looked at available data about past transactions to gauge sales performance and activity level.
