About Fern
Fern is a licensed New York real estate brokerage on a simple mission: help homeowners keep more of their equity when they sell. We do that by offering a flat fee MLS listing service — the same professional exposure as a traditional agent, for a fraction of the cost.
Why We Started Fern
The traditional 6% commission model hasn't changed in decades. On a $500,000 home, that's $30,000 leaving a seller's pocket — often for work that doesn't justify the cost.
We built Fern to give New York sellers a better option: a transparent flat fee, full MLS exposure, and honest support from a real local broker — not a call center in another state.
