The 1.5% Listing Fee
For The Sellers
Why pay more or try to sell your home yourself?
For our Sellers, Discount Realty Florida LLC provides full-service representation at a discounted commission rate. When your listing agent is DRF, the Seller pays a total of 4% commission instead of the typical 6% most brokerages charge. 1.5% is paid to DRF for listing the property and 2.5% is paid to the Buyer’s agent only upon a successful closing. If DRF finds an unrepresented buyer for the listing and no other agent is involved in the sale, the commission paid to DRF at closing is only 3%.
Our services include:
- Your home will be listed on the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) and other sites such as Zillow.com, Realtor.com, & Homes.com.
- The highest quality promotional photos will be taken by a professional photographer at no cost to the Seller.
- Our film crew will create 3D imaging of the home and a drop-in 3D imaging of the floorplan for most properties.
- We provide expert consultation on negotiating the highest price for your property.
- An initial broker’s opinion of value will be conducted to achieve the highest price for your home using recent comps.
- We assist with required documents such as property disclosures, contracts, compensation agreements, and addendums.
- We provide home staging recommendations to ensure effective showings.
- A secure lockbox and proper “For Sale” signage will be placed on the property as allowed.
- We conduct Pre-Home Inspection Reports to resolve issues that may show up on any future Buyer’s Home Inspections.
- We contact the Seller for approval of each and every showing requested so everyone is on the same page.
- The majority of our communication with our clients is through texting and email to ensure proper written communication.
Here are some helpful tips when hiring any agent. Always interview two or three agents when deciding to list your home or buy one. Ask them for a list of properties they have sold in the last year or two. Go online to Zillow or Realtor.com and look at the current active listings they have to see how well they present their listings. Go to www.myfloridalicense.com and type in their name to see if they have any formal complaints and how long they have been licensed.
