The Numbers Don't Lie

In the U.S., home sellers pay 2-3x more in commissions than sellers in other countries. That's not a typo.

• UK sellers pay 1.5%
• German sellers pay 3%
• American sellers still pay 5-6%—plus another 2-4% in hidden transaction costs many don’t even realize until closing day.

To put this in perspective, selling a median-priced home in the U.S. ($404,500) costs $24,270 in agent commissions. That’s more than:

• Four years of in-state college tuition
• A brand-new car
• A full year of mortgage payments

And for what? Studies show that the average agent:

• Spends less than 20 hours actively working on a listing
• Sells only 6-12 homes per year
• Has less than three years of experience

In hot markets, 35% of homes sell in the first week. That means agents are effectively earning $2,000+ per hour—yet you pay the same commission whether your home sells in 7 days or 7 months.

The Promise vs. The Reality

The industry runs on promises it doesn’t keep:

• 70% of sellers report their agent didn’t deliver all promised services
• Only 25% of agents invest in professional photography, despite its proven impact on sale price
• Less than 40% provide a detailed market analysis to justify their recommended listing price
• Nearly half of sellers don’t fully understand what services they’re even paying for

Meanwhile, technology has reduced the work needed to sell a home, yet commissions remain the same. Over 70% of sellers find their buyers through online listings, while buyers spend 10 weeks searching online but only work with an agent for the last two to three weeks.

Why We Fight

Selling your home shouldn’t mean choosing between financial sacrifice and professional support.

We believe in:
✅ Transparency over tradition
✅ Technology over gatekeeping
✅ Fair pricing over inflated commissions

That’s why we built Propbox—not just as a platform, but as a movement to democratize real estate.

We put control back in sellers' hands with:

• Clear, transparent pricing
• Modern tools that actually work
• Professional support when you need it
• No hidden fees or surprise costs

Join the Revolution

Every day, more sellers are rejecting the status quo. They're realizing they don’t have to pay a premium for services that should be standard.

The real estate industry won’t change itself—but together, we can force that change.

Every home sold outside the traditional system is another crack in an outdated model. Every seller who keeps their hard-earned equity is another voice for reform.

This is bigger than Propbox. This is about fundamental fairness in one of the most important financial transactions of people’s lives.

The future of real estate is here.
