Colorado Springs Realtors with a 1% Listing Fee

Comparing realtors in Colorado Springs

If you’re comparing realtors in Colorado Springs, here’s the short answer. Trelora lists your home with full service for a 1% listing fee, and you pay it at closing. On a hypothetical $500,000 sale, that fee is $5,000 ($500,000 × 1%).

The 1% covers the listing side only. Buyer-agent compensation is a separate item. Other closing costs are also separate.

Trelora works as a team. Your listing gets pricing, marketing, photography, open houses and negotiation. A team of showing agents handles buyer tours seven days a week. Our Colorado team works with sellers and buyers across the greater Colorado Springs area.

What 1% looks like on a Colorado Springs sale

If you searched for a “low commission realtor” in Colorado Springs, here’s how the math works. Every figure below is hypothetical. The 2.5% and 3% columns are comparison rates only.

Formula: listing fee = sale price × rate, and difference = (sale price × 3%) − (sale price × 1%). These figures leave out buyer-agent compensation, the documentary fee, title costs and other closing costs, which are all separate.

Colorado Springs seller costs and rules to know

Your listing fee is one line on the settlement statement. Selling in Colorado Springs also brings a few Colorado-specific costs and rules, so ask about them before you sign anything. This section is general information, not legal or tax advice. Talk with your title company, attorney or tax professional about your own sale.

Colorado Springs is in El Paso County, so your deed is recorded with the El Paso County clerk and recorder. Property taxes and metro district taxes vary from one property to the next. Get the current figures for your home early, because buyers will ask for them too.

• Documentary fee. Colorado charges one cent per $100 of consideration (0.01%) on deeds over $500. The fee goes to the county clerk and recorder (C.R.S. 39-13-102). Hypothetical: on a $500,000 sale recorded with the El Paso County clerk and recorder, the fee is $50 ($500,000 ÷ $100 × $0.01). Ask your broker and title company how your contract handles it. See also our guide to the Colorado documentary fee.
• Written agreement first. HB26-1426 took effect August 12, 2026. Under it, a broker must set up a transaction-broker or single-agency relationship in a written agreement before doing licensed work. That agreement must clearly state the compensation amount or rate (Colorado Division of Real Estate). With Trelora, your agreement shows the 1% listing fee in writing.
• No dual agency. Colorado brokers may not establish dual agency (C.R.S. 12-10-406). Ask whether your broker will work as a transaction-broker or as a single agent. Our guide to what a transaction broker is explains the difference.
• Metro districts. If your home is in a metro district, that district’s taxes add to the cost of owning it. See our guide to Colorado metro districts.
• Property taxes. Bills vary by property. Read our guide to Colorado property taxes.
• Closing costs. Our guide to closing costs in Colorado covers the buyer side, which helps you see what’s on the other side of the table.
