The median home in Holladay, Utah sells for approximately $870,000. At the average Utah commission of 5.71%, that’s $49,677 in agent fees. Holladay is the East Bench’s premier community—mature tree-lined streets, Mount Olympus views, a walkable village center, and some of the highest home values in Salt Lake County, with custom estates running well past $1.5M. At these price points, commission math gets serious: a full-service discount broker saves you $13,050–$17,400 on the listing side with the same MLS exposure, professional photography, and negotiation.

We researched the discount and low-commission real estate options serving Holladay and ranked them by listing fee, service level, buyer rebate, reviews, and local experience. Here are the best options for 2026.

How We Ranked

Clever Real Estate

Listing: 1.5% (via matched agent) Buyer Rebate: None National Referral Platform

National agent-matching service that connects you with local agents who’ve agreed to a 1.5% listing fee. You work with a matched agent from a traditional brokerage, not Clever directly—and on Holladay’s architecturally distinctive homes, which agent you’re assigned matters enormously. No buyer rebate, which forfeits five figures on a typical Holladay purchase. No performance-based pricing.

#3

Homie Real Estate

Listing: $5,997–$11,997 flat fee Buyer Rebate: Not standard Utah-Based

Utah-based flat-fee brokerage headquartered in South Jordan. Tiered pricing from $5,997–$11,997 depending on final sale price. On Holladay’s higher-priced homes the top tier still comes in under 1.4%, making the flat-fee math attractive on paper. The tradeoff: Holladay’s market rewards neighborhood-level pricing expertise—a 1950s Olympus Cove rambler and a new Holladay Hills townhome demand completely different comp strategies. No 50% buyer rebate and no performance-based model.

#4

Flat Rate Homes

Listing: $1,950 flat fee Buyer Rebate: Not advertised Lehi-Based

Flat-fee model based in Lehi. $1,950 at closing regardless of sale price—numerically the most aggressive option on an $870K home. The consideration on Holladay’s custom and luxury properties: high-end buyers expect polished marketing, and negotiations on $1M+ deals involve appraisal gaps, contingency structuring, and terms beyond price. Confirm the scope of representation before signing.

#5

Flat Fee MLS Services (Flat Fee Group, Houzeo, etc.)

Listing: $150–$599 flat fee Service: Limited (MLS listing only) National

MLS-only listing for a flat fee. You handle showings, pricing, negotiations, contracts, and closing. Holladay is the hardest market in Salt Lake County to self-price: homes range from $500K townhomes to $8.5M estates, monthly medians swing dramatically based on which neighborhoods closed, and Utah’s non-disclosure rules mean online estimators are less reliable here than almost anywhere. A pricing mistake on an $870K home dwarfs any commission savings. Best reserved for experienced sellers.
