Questions & Answers
You pay a $5,000 flat listing fee plus a buyer’s agent commission (typically 2% to 2½% of the purchase price). Both are paid at closing. There are no upfront fees, no hidden charges, and no surprises.
Technically, you don’t — the buyer is responsible for paying their own agent. However, most buyers do not have the extra cash available, so they request that the seller pay the buyer’s agent commission as part of the offer, just like it has always been. When you receive an offer, it will typically include an addendum asking the seller to pay the buyer’s agent and specifying the amount (usually around 2% to 2½% of the purchase price). This is completely negotiable, just like the purchase price.
Yes. You receive full-service representation, including pricing guidance, professional photography, MLS exposure, showing coordination, negotiations, and full contract-to-close management — all for the $5,000 flat listing fee.
Absolutely. Your home will be listed in the MLS and distributed automatically to major real estate portals including Zillow, Realtor.com, Trulia, Redfin, Homes.com, and hundreds of agent websites.
Yes. Professional real estate photography is included in the $5,000 listing fee. High-quality photos attract more buyers and generate more showings.
We evaluate recent sales, pending sales, active listings you will compete against, neighborhood trends, and overall market conditions to create a data-driven pricing strategy designed to help your home sell quickly and for top dollar.
Most homes can be listed within 24 hours after photography is completed.
No. Our listing agreement is only 90 days, and you may cancel at any time. If you cancel, the only cost is reimbursement for the professional photography (a direct out-of-pocket cost we pay upfront). With proper pricing, most homes sell within this time frame — in any market.
When an agent requests a showing, you’ll receive a text message where you can approve, decline, or suggest an alternate time. You are in control of who enters your home and when.
There are two options:
Supra Lockbox – A secure electronic lockbox used by Realtors® to access your house key.Owner-Provided Access – If you prefer no lockbox or need to be present due to pets, you may let the agent and buyer inside.
For safety and comfort, never let a buyer enter without their licensed agent present. Also, you should remain outside while they walk through the home.
All offers are sent to Port St Lucie Realty. Offers must include a pre-approval letter or proof of funds. We review the offer terms with you — price, closing date, inspection periods, loan approval deadlines, and your seller net sheet showing estimated proceeds after expenses. You may accept, reject, or counter the offer.
Absolutely. You never communicate directly with the buyer or their agent. We negotiate on your behalf and protect your best interests from start to finish.
No. Open houses rarely attract serious buyers. Instead, they often bring in lookers, neighbors, unqualified visitors, and potential security risks. Many agents use open houses to find future clients, not to sell your home. Serious buyers schedule private showings — that’s where offers come from.
You pay nothing. The listing fee and buyer’s agent commission are only paid if your home sells.
Yes. Buyers have their own agent who represents them. Port St Lucie Realty represents you, ensuring your interests are protected throughout the transaction.
Yes. We manage the entire contract-to-close process, including disclosures, inspections, deadlines, title coordination, and closing arrangements.
Most sellers pay approximately 5% of the purchase price, including commission, title insurance, recording fees, prorated property taxes, and other standard closing expenses.
