How 1% Delivers Full Service
How Do You Know You’ll Receive 100% Full Service for a 1% Listing Fee?
If you’re considering listing your home with Steve Lederman at Your Advantage Realty, you’re probably asking a smart question:
“How can I receive 100% full service for only a 1% listing fee?”
That hesitation makes sense. Most of us were conditioned to believe you get what you pay for. In many industries, lower price means lower quality. But real estate listings— especially in the Sacramento Metro market — haven’t followed that rule for years, at least not with Steve Lederman and Your Advantage Realty Team.
Here’s how you can evaluate it — and verify it — for yourself.
- You’re Hiring a Broker — Not a Salesperson
Steve Lederman is a California licensed real estate broker, not a salesperson working under another broker.
That matters.
As an independent broker, Steve does not split his commission with a franchise or supervising office. There is no corporate commission split reducing the fee before it reaches the person representing you. This allows Steve to run an efficient tight ship without corporate bloating Most listing agents split their commission.
*This streamlined structure allows him to offer a 1% listing fee while still delivering complete professional representation.
You can verify his broker status using the California Department of Real Estate public license lookup tool. It’s a public record. Transparency is important.
- Look at the Track Record — It’s Verifiable
Service is defined by performance, not by percentage.

- A long history serving sellers throughout Sacramento Metro including Sacramento, ,Roseville, Placer County, Yolo County and surrounding communities
Transactions are where skill shows up — pricing strategy, negotiation strength, handling inspections, managing appraisal challenges, and protecting sellers through escrow.
That expertise doesn’t change because the listing fee is 1%.
You can verify sales history through:
- MLS records
- Zillow and Realtor.com sales data
