Flat Fee Florida Realty

No. This is the most common misconception about us. We are a Full-Service Brokerage. “Limited Service” or “Flat Fee MLS” usually means you pay a small fee just to get listed, but you do all the work yourself. Flat Fee Florida Realty is different. We handle everything a traditional 3% listing agent does: professional photography, pricing analysis, showing coordination, negotiations, and closing paperwork. The only difference is the price structure.

Technology and efficiency. The traditional 6% commission model was created decades ago, before the internet made marketing homes easier. We don’t have the high overhead of big franchise brokerages, and we don’t spend money on expensive print advertising that rarely works. We pass those savings directly to you. We focus on volume and efficiency, meaning we can be profitable while saving you thousands.

No. We install a secure electronic lockbox (the same kind used by all major real estate agencies) that allows licensed Realtors to show your home to their clients. Important: If a buyer contacts us directly without an agent, William Tordjman (our broker) will personally vet them and attend the showing. You never have to deal with strangers or unrepresented buyers yourself.

Yes, 100%. We are with you from the initial contract to the closing. We review every offer, verify the buyer’s proof of funds/pre-approval, and negotiate the best possible terms for you. You will never be left to figure out the purchase agreement and necessary forms on your own.

No. We operate on a success basis, just like a traditional high-commission brokerage. We are paid only when your home sells and the deal closes. If for any reason your home does not sell, you owe us nothing. There are no “setup fees,” “marketing fees,” or hidden costs.

The “Flat Fee” covers our side (the listing side). To ensure your home is shown by other realtors, we recommend offering a competitive commission to the agent who brings the buyer (typically 2.5%, though this can vary by price point). Why? Most buyers work with agents. If we don’t offer them a fair commission, they may not show your home. By paying a flat fee to us and a standard fee to them, you still save a tremendous amount of money on listing costs compared to a traditional 6% split.

The vast majority of buyers work with agents, and those agents rely on commission. By offering a competitive market rate (usually 2.5%), we ensure your home gets maximum exposure to the pool of qualified buyers represented by other brokers. We save you thousands on the listing side, while ensuring the selling side remains attractive to the entire real estate community. We recommend, but you are ultimately deciding on the commission offered to the buyer’s agent.
