CATEGORY: Real Estate
SUMMARY: Bozeman REALTOR Bevan Cox introduces two Smart Seller Programs for Southwest Montana, with commissions starting at 1.5%.
Southwest Montana homeowners now have a new set of options when it comes to selling their property, as Bozeman-based REALTOR® Bevan Cox of Real Broker, LLC rolls out what he calls Smart Seller Programs — a pair of listing packages designed to offer flexibility in both service level and cost.
Cox, who serves Bozeman, Big Sky, and the broader Southwest Montana region, structured the programs to give sellers a choice in how their home is marketed and represented, rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. With listing commissions beginning at 1.5%, the offerings aim to meet homeowners where they are, whether they want a streamlined sale or a full marketing blitz.
Bevan Cox’s Smart Seller Programs offer Southwest Montana homeowners two full-service listing options, with commissions starting at 1.5%.

The first option, dubbed the Essentials Program, carries a 1.5% listing commission. It bundles professional photography, a market analysis, exposure on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), weekly social media advertising, showing services, open-house marketing, and contract negotiation. For sellers wanting more firepower, the Premier Program comes with a 2.5% listing commission and adds professional drone photography, a Zillow Showcase placement, interactive 3D home tours, virtual staging, paid social media campaigns, and extra showing support.
Every home is different, and every seller’s circumstances are different. Homeowners should have choices and a clear understanding of what each option includes.”— Bevan Cox
Both programs include a $500 transaction fee that is due at closing. If Cox also represents the buyer in the transaction, an additional listing commission applies. Buyer-agent compensation is handled separately through negotiation. As with all real estate commissions, every fee is negotiable and must be formalized in a written listing agreement.
Cox’s background is unusually broad for a real estate agent. He holds a bachelor’s degree in computer science from Utah State University and an MBA from the University of Colorado, and he spent more than 15 years in the technology industry managing multimillion-dollar projects and leading teams of over 30 people. He also brings more than seven years of real estate experience, over five years as a mortgage loan originator, and has worked in residential and commercial real estate investing, business ownership, e-commerce, technology startups, and private investments. For roughly a decade, he also owned and operated a fitness business.
“Real estate isn’t just about buying or selling a property,” Cox says. “It’s about understanding the financial implications, evaluating options and helping people make decisions that make sense for their future.”
Cox emphasizes that his approach to representation is rooted in honesty and transparency, and he says he is willing to recommend against a transaction if he believes it isn’t in a client’s best interest. “I’d rather lose a commission than have a client make a decision I don’t believe is right for them,” he notes.
As he builds his practice in Southwest Montana, Cox aims to merge his business and investment experience with a flexible, client-first service model. “Real estate transactions come and go,” he says. “Your reputation and the way you treat people stay with you. That’s the part that matters to me.”
Why it matters: In a competitive housing market like Southwest Montana, sellers are increasingly looking for pricing and service options that fit their specific needs rather than paying for a standard package. Programs like these could signal a broader shift toward more transparent and customizable real estate commission structures across the region.
