Fee for Service

By James Kimmons, About.com

Definition: Fee for service in real estate is a financial model that charges the client for real estate listing or buyer services based on services performed, rather than a negotiated percentage of the selling price.

This pricing model can take various forms. It could be an a-la-carte price list or a base dollar amount with additional charges for showing trips or other services. It can even combine a small percentage for certain core services and additional charges for more work.
