Updated October 2026. Assist-2-Sell terms read on its own website on October 22, 2026. We compete with Assist-2-Sell, so we stick to what its own pages say.
Assist-2-Sell is a franchise of full-service discount brokerages. Its site gives an example commission “as low as $2,995,” with programs and fees set by each local office. A flat fee MLS service is a different model: Beycome lists your home for $99 with $0 at closing, and you handle showings. On a $417,500 home, a 3% fee would be $12,525.

Key takeaways
- Assist-2-Sell offices are independently run franchises. Fees and programs vary by office, so get the local fee in writing.
- Its “MLS for Less” program adds a separate commission for a buyer’s agent on top of the flat fee.
- Beycome Basic is $99 and Concierge, with expert negotiators, is $999 (list price $1,399), both with $0 at closing.
- Since August 17, 2024, offers of buyer-agent pay can’t appear on the MLS, under any program.
How does Assist-2-Sell work?
Assist-2-Sell calls itself a full-service discount real estate company. Its offices are franchises staffed by licensed agents who belong to NAR and local REALTOR associations. They handle pricing, marketing, showings, negotiation and paperwork, like a traditional agent. The difference is the fee.
According to its “How We’re Different” page, offices charge a low flat commission rather than a percent. The example given is “as low as $2,995.” The same page notes that “programs and fees vary by office.” Two other programs are named:
- MLS for Less. Your home goes on the MLS. If a buyer’s agent brings the buyer, that agent gets a separate commission, and the office keeps its flat fee.
- Seller Assist, or “Paperwork Only.” For owners selling by themselves, an office helps with the contract and closing for a lower flat fee.
The MLS for Less example on the site uses a 3% buyer-agent commission. Under today’s rules, that offer can’t be shown on the MLS, and it’s your choice whether to make one.
How much does Assist-2-Sell cost compared with a 3% agent?
Here’s the math on the US median existing-home price of $417,500 (NAR, September 2026). Assist-2-Sell’s figure is the example from its own site; your local office may charge more.
| Option | Listing side cost on $417,500 |
|---|---|
| A 3% listing commission | $12,525 |
| Assist-2-Sell example flat commission | From $2,995 |
| Beycome Concierge (experts negotiate) | $999 upfront, $0 at closing |
| Beycome Basic (you run the sale) | $99 upfront, $0 at closing |
Any buyer-agent compensation is separate in every row. These percentages are examples only. Commissions are not set by law or by NAR rules, and they’re fully negotiable. Sellers choose whether to offer any buyer-agent compensation, and how much. Since August 17, 2024, those offers can’t be shown on the MLS.

What are the pros and cons of Assist-2-Sell?
The main pro is full service for a flat commission. An agent does the showings and negotiation, which suits sellers who don’t have the time. Offices are local, so you get someone who knows your market.
The main con is that you can’t check the price online. Fees and programs vary by office, and not every area has one. The flat commission in the example is also several times what a flat fee MLS costs, because you’re paying for more work.

What do Assist-2-Sell reviews say?
Assist-2-Sell’s home page shows customer reviews that praise fast sales, responsive agents and savings. One reviewer wrote that a local owner “sold our home in 3 days.” Others mention commission savings of over $14,000 compared with a traditional fee.
We couldn’t find a single central review profile covering all offices. Because each office is run separately, experiences depend on the local team. Read the Google reviews for the specific office you’d hire, and look at both the 5-star and the 1-star ones.
Before you sign with any brokerage, ask for the fee in writing and read the listing agreement. Nolo explains listing agreements in plain English, and the National Association of Realtors has consumer guides on the 2024 rule changes.
Which should you choose?
Pick a full-service discount broker like Assist-2-Sell if you want an agent to do the showings and you have an office nearby. Pick a flat fee MLS listing if you’re happy to show the home yourself and want to keep the most money.
Want something in between? Beycome Concierge puts experts on your negotiation for $999, while you stay in control of every decision. Or start with a $99 flat fee MLS listing and do it yourself. If you’re in Florida or Texas, Beycome Title can close the sale. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau explains the closing papers you’ll see.
