Why does Empire Flippers charge buyers 2.5%? Their vetting process is significantly more rigorous — revenue, traffic, and financials are independently verified before any listing goes live. Sellers can't self-report inflated numbers. For buyers, the fee often means less risk than the $0-fee platforms where due diligence falls entirely on you.

Flippa and Motion Invest operate more like open marketplaces — lower friction to list, broader inventory, but verification is lighter. Quiet Light takes a brokerage approach (seller-side fees) and focuses on curated, advisor-led deals in the $500K–$10M range.

Fees shown are estimates based on publicly available information. Always confirm current fee structures directly with the broker before transacting. Escrow fees vary by provider (Escrow.com, Payoneer Escrow, etc.) and deal complexity.
