Our take: Most home sellers should try an Agent Marketplace like Clever before reaching out to individual discount brokerages. Clever’s free platform lets you compare multiple agents from different brokerages — discount and conventional, like RE/MAX and Compass — and you pay a pre-negotiated 1.5% listing fee at closing, regardless of who you choose. That’s up to 50% of the agents’ typical rates.

  • Why this matters: Thanks to the wider selection of agents and pre-negotiated low rates, you can focus on hiring the best agent for the job without worrying about the price tag. It’s faster, easier, and safer than reaching out to individual discount brokers yourself. Plus it’s free with no obligation.

How we research and rank discount real estate brokers

Data sources

Our research team identified and ranked 7 full-service, low commission real estate brokerages available in Louisville. We compiled and analyzed 42,812 publicly available data points tied to customer reviews, pricing models, services, and track record to assess each company, determine our rankings, and choose our top picks in Louisville.

Methodology

Our team used public business directories to identify 7 discount real estate services in Louisville. We then manually verified pricing and services details for every company, categorizing them as either “full-service” or “limited-service.” 

We did our best to ensure that only brands and product offerings that meet our minimum full-service criteria made it onto these pages. Limited-service brokers appear in our Flat-fee MLS Services Guides.

We fed pricing, services, customer ratings, and credibility data for each verified low commission real estate brokerage into our localized ranking methodology. We evaluated each company across four core areas, including:

  • Customer Experience (35%): We measured how customers feel about their experiences and outcomes with the company over time. This score is primarily powered by average customer ratings across reputable, third-party review platforms. We weighted our customer scores to account for sample size and recency.
  • Pricing & Fees (30%): We measured the company’s fee structure and price point relative to other discount real estate brokerages. We determined each company's effective listing commission rate, average cost, and average savings (when compared to the national average commission rate). We also checked for special discounts, such as sell-and-buy deals and buyer rebates.
  • Services & Support (20%): We measured the level of services and support that each discount real estate broker provides and compared that to what a traditional broker offers. We also checked for bonus services, such as virtual tours and social media marketing.
  • Track Record (15%): We measured how long a company has been active in the market by looking at recent reviews. We also determined how consistent their activity level is over time.

We combined these individual scores into a single Overall Rating, which determined our top picks and general company rankings in Louisville.
