Why Flat Five
Flat Five Realty isn't a discount brokerage — it's a different pricing model with something no other Grand Junction brokerage can match.
List for a flat $5,000 fee or 1% of your home's value instead of a traditional 2.5–3% commission. Professional photography, pricing strategy, marketing, and negotiation are all included — nothing is stripped out to hit the price.
Principal Broker Kent Slawson is one of a handful of agents who hold both a real estate license and a General Contractor license. Every property gets a contractor's read on condition and renovation potential — at no added cost.
From the first walkthrough to the closing table, every step is handled with precision and professionalism. Better service. Lower cost. Simple.
The General Contractor Advantage
Principal Broker Kent Slawson is a licensed General Contractor as well as a licensed real estate broker — one of a handful of agents anywhere with both credentials.
When you tour a home with Flat Five, you get a licensed General Contractor's read on the property right alongside the real estate guidance: structural concerns, renovation potential, and realistic costs. Buyers buy with confidence. Sellers price and prep with an expert eye. And it costs you nothing extra.
The Numbers
Choose the level of support that fits — every option is full representation, never a stripped-down listing.
On average, sellers save around $10,000. To attract the most buyers, we recommend offering 2.5–3% to the buyer's agent. If Flat Five also represents the buyer (a double-ended transaction), our buyer-side fee matches our listing fee — doubling your savings.

Buying With Flat Five
Working with Flat Five usually costs buyers nothing — our fees are typically paid by the seller. You get a relationship-driven agent who knows the Grand Valley, plus a licensed General Contractor pointing out issues and renovation potential so you can buy with confidence.
Moving out of the area? We'll refer you to a trusted agent and share half our referral fee — up to $2,500 on a $500,000 property.

We sold our house with Kent this year in a terrible market, and it was great! Compared to our three other experiences using traditional percentage based agents, this experience was far better and drastically more affordable. You get the same service as with a “regular” agent regarding photos, handling interested parties, advise and their expertise, except you pay a flat fee that’s actually reasonable for the work! Not only that, he also brought a buyer so we ended up saving 18k+ on agent fees! Wish all real estate professionals worked this way 🙌🏻 All else aside, he’s a very down to earth, non-schmoozie, no nonsense, kind human and super easy to work with. Refreshing! Will choose again!
We wanted everyone in the Grand Junction area to know that we were most fortunate to meet Kent Slawson this year of Slawson Realty. We have purchased and sold 6 homes over the past 40 years in CO and Kent, without a doubt, was the absolute BEST Real Estate Broker we have ever had the pleasure to know and work with and I would not hesitate to hire him again. He's also a General Contractor and knows a ton about the homes and can spot problems immediately. He also knows many top-notch repair folks in town so that helps a lot too. Talk about a hard worker and an excellent communicator. He explained complex real estate situations to us that no other realtor has ever done successfully. Kent is on time and always followed up on even the tiniest issue. He made a difficult time more bearable through to the end. At closing, we even took a photo of him and plan to hang out at some point. He is an awesome all-around person and real estate broker, and you won't be disappointed if you hire Kent. He's absolutely the BEST in town and kept every promise. Thank you for the opportunity to tell you how much we love Kent and his adorable family for that matter! We guarantee, you'll be very pleased to hire Kent for your next real estate project.
Buying a house for the first time was a bit scary and intimidating for me. I was happy to have been introduced to Kent Slawson. He made the process comfortable and reassured me confidently I was making a good, low risk purchase. So many things come to mind that I felt good about in our interactions including prompt response whenever we wanted to see a house, honest opinions and earned our trust quickly, treated us like family or close friends, always took as much time as we needed with showings and questions, smooth process at closing, excellent recommendation for lender, arrived with a smile on his face and relaxed personality every time we met. Kent is a great human and an excellent realtor! I will be making another home purchase and I will be using Kent for all my realtor needs in the future. Highly recommend!! Thank you so much Kent!!!! You Rock!!
