Summary
You do the work, carry all the risk, and hope you get paid at closing. This episode breaks down fee models that change that. Join Matt and Garrett for a conversation as they explore what charging looks like outside the standard commission box: flat fees for your marketing and expertise, upfront money on overpriced listings, risk-shifting out clauses, and why more money options actually take pressure off the money conversation. Ideas to react to, not rules to follow, and they want to hear your take. → Join the conversation inside the Ten Tenths community: https://tentenths.co
