Most buyers don't realize how much of the commission flows back when the brokerage isn't paid as a percentage. Run the numbers on your own price range — no sign-up, no email.

  • Your SODL agent keeps 50% of the total commission — paid fairly for the work.
  • SODL charges a flat $3,000 platform fee at closing. Everything above that flows to you.
  • Listing your current home? Flat $3,000 replaces traditional listing-side commission.

How buying works

A clear path from first search to closing day.

No hidden handoffs, no waiting for callbacks. A real SODL agent is with you the whole way — the platform just makes the work visible.

01 · SEARCH

Describe what you want.

Use plain language — "walkable, good schools, finished basement." Search understands real-estate speak so you don't have to fight with filters.

02 · TOUR

See homes with your agent.

A MN-licensed SODL agent tours with you in person or virtually. You're assigned one agent — not a rotating cast.

03 · OFFER

Make a competitive offer.

Your agent pulls comps, walks you through terms, and negotiates on your behalf. You see every document, every step.

04 · CLOSE

Your credit hits the table.

The buyer-side commission comes back to you as a credit on your Closing Disclosure — after SODL's flat $3,000 platform fee — subject to lender approval. Less cash at closing, more in your pocket.

Traditional vs. SODL

The same transaction — different math.

We kept what works about traditional real estate (a licensed agent who knows the market) and rebuilt what doesn't (percentage-based commissions, hidden costs, opaque process).

Traditional brokerage
SODL
Listing fee to sell
2.5–3% of sale price (scales with home value)
Flat $3,000 — no matter the price
Buyer-side commission
Kept entirely by the buyer's brokerage
50% returned to you as a credit at closing
Your agent
Paid a percentage — incentive to close, not get the best price
Dedicated SODL agent, flat compensation, aligned with your outcome
Pre-sale improvements
Out of pocket, personal loans, or skipped entirely
Covered up front through Refresh, paid at close from higher sale
Process visibility
Phone tag, paper forms, ambiguous timelines

From real SODL clients

People who used to dread this part.

Buying or selling a home is the largest transaction most people make. Here's what SODL felt like from the other side of the table.

"The process through SODL was super easy, and they responded quickly with any questions we had. What a great alternative to the old ways of buying and selling a home. Highly recommend SODL to all our friends and family."

"SODL made selling our home simple and affordable. We saved over $15,000 in commissions, yet still had full MLS exposure, professional marketing, and guidance throughout the process. We'd absolutely recommend SODL to anyone looking to keep more equity while still getting a seamless, supported transaction."

"If you're selling your home, this is the realtor you want. They provided excellent service, strong market insight, and clear guidance throughout the entire process. Most importantly, they helped us save thousands of dollars in commissions, which made a significant difference in our bottom line."

Yes. SODL is a licensed real estate brokerage in Minnesota. Every transaction is handled by a Minnesota-licensed SODL agent, and every listing is on the MLS. The technology makes the experience better — it doesn't replace the licensed professionals legally required to broker a real estate transaction.
You get a real, dedicated SODL agent — one agent assigned to your transaction, from first tour to closing. They tour homes with you, run comps, write offers, negotiate on your behalf, and attend closing. The difference is how they're paid: flat compensation rather than a percentage of the sale price.
Your credit is the buyer-side commission the seller offers, minus SODL's flat $3,000 platform fee. The exact amount depends on the commission offered on the home you buy, and the credit must be approved by your lender to appear on your Closing Disclosure. We show you the math before you write an offer — no surprises at closing.
Most lenders allow buyer credits up to a limit set by loan type. Your SODL agent works directly with your lender early in the process to confirm how your credit will be applied — cash back at closing, reduced closing costs, or a rate buy-down.
Two ways. On the sell side, our flat $3,000 covers marketing, MLS listing, transaction management, and agent time — profitable because we've built technology that does the coordination work a traditional brokerage does manually. On the buy side, we charge a flat $3,000 platform fee per transaction. We make money on volume and efficiency, not by taking a percentage of your home's value.
Professional photography, MLS syndication across Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, and others, pricing guidance, offer review and negotiation, transaction management, and a licensed SODL agent attending your closing. What it doesn't cover: the buyer-side commission you choose to offer, which is still a factor in how your home sells — though you decide the amount.
SODL is currently licensed in Minnesota. If you're searching for homes outside MN, you'll see MLS listings but won't be able to transact with us yet. We're expanding — drop your email and we'll let you know when SODL launches in your state.
