Frequently asked questions

What is RealtorByTask?

RealtorByTask is a Silicon Valley marketplace where homeowners hire licensed realtors for individual, à-la-carte services, like hosting an open house, listing on the MLS, or reviewing an offer, for a flat fee instead of signing a full-commission listing agreement.

How is this cheaper than a traditional real estate agent?

A traditional listing agent typically charges a percentage of your sale price (often around 2.5–3%). With RealtorByTask you pay a flat fee only for the specific services you actually need, so what you spend depends on how much help you want rather than how much your home sells for. Exact savings vary by situation.

Are the realtors on RealtorByTask licensed?

Yes. Every realtor holds a California DRE license, and verified realtors carry a badge linking to their public DRE record so you can confirm it in one click.

Do I have to hire one realtor for everything?

No. You can mix and match: book a pricing analysis from one realtor and an open house from another, or hire a single pro for several tasks. You only pay for what you book.

Can I use RealtorByTask if I'm selling my home myself (FSBO)?

Absolutely. One-off services are a great fit for for-sale-by-owner sellers who want professional help on specific pieces, like an MLS listing, contract review, or negotiation, without giving up a full commission.

How do I pay for a service?

Each service has a flat, upfront price set by the realtor. You book the service you want and pay that price. There is no percentage-based commission. If you can't find what you need, you can post a request and have realtors send you quotes.

For realtors

Put your license to work, on your own terms.

List the services you want to offer, set your own prices, and get paid for your expertise, without chasing whole listings or splitting full commissions.
