How many people trust their real estate agents? Each year Gallup surveys a sample of Americans about the honesty and integrity of different professions. Its 2023 survey found that only 24% of respondents rated the honesty and integrity of real agents as high or very high. Historically, this percentage has never been higher than 25%. That's why we need to talk about what the future of real estate and home-selling looks like and why it’s going to be so much easier (and cheaper) for you.
Spoiler alert: It’s all about keeping it simple, empowering you, and, well, cutting out all the unnecessary stuff that’s can hold you back.
Because the truth be told, selling a home today means more headache and commissions. With the rise of digital tools, the old way of handling real estate deals—full of paperwork, high commissions, and endless back-and-forth with agents—feels outdated.
The internet did it again: Selling a house from your couch
Here’s the thing—everyone’s online all the time. So why are we still doing this whole “drive across town to meet an agent in person” routine? No one has time for that anymore. The future of real estate marketing isn’t about awkwardly waiting for a “professional” to show up at your doorstep. It’s about using tech to handle everything, from listing to finalizing offers, right from the comfort of your own couch.
We buy everything from shoes to groceries online, so why not sell a house? Listing your property with just a few clicks, managing your sale on your phone, and handling it all without breaking a sweat is possible. That’s the world we’re creating—and you’re going to love it.
Online real estate platforms, like locqube, are making it easier than ever for homeowners to take control. You don’t have to leave the house, and you certainly don’t have to deal with a bunch of agents trying to push you around. It’s your sale, on your terms. You just sit back, click, and it's done.

Real estate agents: Still here, but they’ve got a new role
Now, don’t get us wrong—we’re not saying real estate agents are going anywhere. They’re still valuable, but their role is shifting. With locqube the future of real estate agents isn’t about them controlling the show—it’s about them being your trusty guide WHEN you need expert advice.
You still get all the expert advice you want (who doesn’t need a pro to make sure you don’t leave money on the table?), but without the endless meetings or commission-hungry agendas. Your agent is there to offer guidance, answer questions, and make sure everything stays on track, but they’re no longer running the entire show.
The future of real estate agents is way more supportive and way less “take control of your life” kind of energy. You’re the driver now, and they’re just your reliable front passenger.
Cutting costs: Why pay more when you don’t have to?
Traditional agents love their commission fees. And when I say love, I mean love. You know what I’m talking about—the dreaded 6% commission fee that eats into your home’s sale price (which is no longer the standard, thankfully). But even a 4% commission is high and it’s frustrating, it’s unnecessary, and frankly, it’s outdated.
With Locqube, we’ve slashed that fee down to just 1.99%. This isn’t some fancy marketing gimmick; it’s a real game-changer that’s part of the new wave in real estate.
The future of real estate is all about getting more value for less. You shouldn’t have to give away a chunk of your sale just for the privilege of listing your home. With us, you keep more of your hard-earned equity, and you get the support you need without the heavy price tag.
The future of real estate: It’s ALL about the homeowner
At the end of the day, the future of real estate is all about the homeowner,it's all about YOU. It’s about giving you the power to control the sale of your property while still having access to the expertise and support of real estate professionals (when/if you need it.)
It’s about making things simpler, cheaper, and more efficient. And it’s about ensuring that homeowners can take advantage of technology to make the process as smooth as possible.
So, what does the future hold for real estate? It’s all about breaking free from the old ways and embracing a new, more accessible approach. The shift towards online platforms, lower commission rates, and more control for homeowners is just the beginning...and it starts with locqube.
