Celebrating 10 years: fixed fees, full service, fast responses

We Fixed Real Estate® · The Consumer Protection Brokerage

Is your agent working for you, or for the commission?

Arrivva is the flat-fee brokerage that helps you buy, sell, and finance a home for a transparent fee, not a percentage. The difference, often tens of thousands of dollars, goes back in your pocket.

Why homeowners hire Arrivva

Most brokerages sell homes. We protect consumers.

Buying or selling a home is where people are terrified of making a $50,000 mistake. Every Arrivva client gets protections you'll rarely find anywhere else:

Experienced brokers on every transaction

Fred Glick is on every deal and writes every contract. No handing you off to a junior agent.

A private Slack channel

Inspections, mortgage updates, title, negotiations: you watch it all happen in real time. No wondering what's happening with your transaction.

No dual agency. Ever.

Your broker should never work both sides of your deal. Would you hire a lawyer who also represents the other party?

Up-front inspections

Whenever possible we inspect before you commit. Fewer surprises, no double negotiations, no lost deals.

Transparent flat pricing

The work is the same whether a home costs $600K or $6M. Logic says the fee should be too.

Aggressive, data-backed negotiation

We don't get paid more when you pay more. Our incentives stay aligned with yours, and we negotiate like it.

The result? Fewer surprises. Better decisions. Lower costs.

Real estate is broken

We fixed it.

Line by line against how the industry commonly works. Then see the full breakdowns, brand by brand.

The fee

Percentage commissions, commonly 5 to 6% combined. On a $1M sale, that's $50,000 to $60,000.

$15,750 flat to sell. $9,750 flat to buy. Whatever the price.

The buyer-broker fee

Typically stays with the brokerage, however large it is.

Everything above $9,750 is rebated to the buyer. Average rebate, last 12 months: $51,669.

Communication

Phone tag, email chains, and waiting for callbacks.

A private Slack channel for every client: real time, in writing, searchable.

Representation

Dual agency is still legal in most states, and some agents will take both sides of your deal.

Never dual agency. Your broker works for you alone, every time.

Who handles your deal

Service quality varies agent to agent. Your transaction rides on whoever you happen to get.

Fred Glick, the managing broker, is on every deal and reviews every contract.

The extras

Inspections, staging, 3D tours, and drone shots are often billed separately, or not offered at all.

Inspections, deep cleaning, photography, Matterport tours, and digital staging: included, paid up front.

That's an estimated $3,200 to $5,600 in direct services included in the flat fee, before counting the rebate.

Do the math

Traditional agents charge a percentage. We don't.

On a $1M purchase, a 2.5% buyer-broker fee is $25,000. Our fee is $9,750. The rest comes back to you. Last 12 months, our average buyer rebate was $51,669.

Since 2022, Arrivva has rebated $8,388,147 to buyers across 211 closings. Every one of them is listed, with the address and the number, on our results page. Most brokerages ask for trust. We publish the proof.

What our clients say

Don't take our word for it. Read what buyers and sellers say after experiencing a different way to buy, sell, and finance real estate.

Their fee structure alone saved me over $200,000... There was no pressure, no ego, just smart advice grounded in data and experience.
Ian RussellBought with Arrivva
Fantastic experience with Fred and team. Sold in less than 30 days with multiple offers and all cash. Can't recommend enough
Matt StangSold with Arrivva
They also had the lowest rates and fees I could find for my mortgage. When issues arose with the lender, Fred made sure everything went through smoothly.
