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.

The industry standard
Arrivva
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.

Full service, flat fee
Everything you expect from a top brokerage. One honest price.
For sellers
Sell for $15,750
Not 2.5%. Not 3%. Photography, floor plans, 3D tours, up-front inspections, marketing, negotiation. The same services many agents provide for tens of thousands more.
How selling works →For buyers
Buy for $9,750
Not a percentage. Not a mystery. Offer strategy, disclosure review, inspections, negotiation. And everything left over from the buyer-broker fee is your rebate.
How buying works →For mortgages
Finance for $5,750
We Fixed Mortgages too: transparent near-wholesale pricing and fully underwritten preapprovals that help you compete like a cash buyer.
How mortgages work →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 $51,666.
Since 2022, Arrivva has rebated $9,562,787 to buyers across 249 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.

We Fixed Real Estate: the podcast
Real estate is broken. Here's this week's thing we fixed.
Weekly episodes on what the industry won't tell you: commissions, dual agency, appraisal games, mortgage tricks.
Why Your Mortgage Rate Ignores the Fed (and What to Do About It)
Why does your mortgage rate change even when the Fed doesn’t? In this episode, Fred Glick of Arrivva explains why mortgage rates don’t simply follow the Federal Reserve, what’s really driving rates, and how buyers can navigate today’s high-rate environment. From adjustable-rate mortgages and temporary rate buydowns to assumable mortgages, Fred breaks down strategies that could help buyers make a move without waiting for rates to fall. Fred also discusses what’s happening in the housing market, including current buyer competition, offer strategies, and why market conditions can be harder to predict than they seem.
New Fannie Mae Condo Reserve Rules Take Effect in 2026
Could new Fannie Mae condo rules make some properties harder to finance or sell? In this episode, Fred Glick of Arrivva breaks down the major Fannie Mae condo financing changes taking effect August 3, 2026, including the increase in required reserves from 10% to 15% for condos with 10 or more units. He explains what lenders will now examine, why condo finances, insurance, litigation, and reserves can directly affect a property's value, and what buyers and sellers should do before a deal falls apart.
Is That "Multiple Offers" Real? How to Spot FAKE Housing Demand
Is that “multiple offers” claim actually true, or is it a sales tactic? How can buyers tell if a property is genuinely in high demand? In this episode of We Fixed Real Estate, Fred Glick of Arrivva, breaks down how to spot fake housing demand and make smarter offers. From open house crowds and online views to buyer activity, broker fees, and negotiation strategies, Fred reveals what the numbers can tell you, what they can’t, and how to avoid being manipulated by claims of competing offers.
