Example only. The 5.5% and 4.5% rates are illustrations you can change, not quotes or market averages. Commission rates are always negotiable, agents set their own bids, and actual bids, sale prices, and savings vary. The platform fee shown is the flat Technology Fee for that sale price.

The Moment Before The Listing

Most Homeowners Think About Selling Long Before They List

Housing decisions rarely begin with a listing. They begin with a conversation at the kitchen island. A neighbor sells. A tax bill arrives.

CrowList was built for that moment.

The moment before the listing.

The moment before the agent call.

The moment when curiosity becomes possibility.

How It Works

Three Steps to Save Thousands

The only Long Island platform where agents compete to represent you, before your home is ever on the MLS.

01
01

Privately Share Your Home

Create a private premarket profile. Your home is not publicly listed, and your address stays encrypted until you select an agent.

  • Upload photos of your home
  • Set your price range

Verified agents see your photos, price range, and neighborhood. Your street address stays encrypted until you choose an agent.

02
02

Agents Compete

Licensed agents submit binding commission bids and marketing commitments directly to you. Each agent is scored, not just ranked by price.

  • View competitive commission rates
  • Scores based on close rate, pricing accuracy, and client outcomes
03
03

You Save Thousands

Compare bids, review agent profiles, and choose the best fit. Pay a flat platform fee at closing, never a percentage.

  • Select on value, not just price
  • $1,000 – $5,000 flat fee based on sale price
How It Plays Out

An Example CrowList Transaction

Here's what the process looks like, from announcement to selection.

Hypothetical Example, Nassau County

“A homeowner in Nassau County received 5 bids ranging from 4.5% to 6%, with different marketing plans and proposed timelines.”

AgentRateMarketingTimelineScore
Agent A4.5%MLS + online ads60 days94
✓Agent B4.75%Staging, video, open houses45 days88
Agent C5.0%MLS + open house30 days71
Agent D5.25%Print + social45 days65
Agent E6.0%Full-service campaign60 days52

The homeowner selected a 4.75% bid, not the lowest, based on the agent's score of 88, staging, video and open-house marketing plan, and 45-day proposed timeline. Platform fee at closing: $1,500 (flat rate on a $900K sale). Total cost: $44,250. At an example 5.5% commission: $49,500. Savings: $5,250.

“Every bid is a real offer, and every agent has a record you can see.”

Pricing
