Florida sellers are searching in droves for “1% commission realtor,” “flat fee MLS Florida,” “discount listing broker,” and “cheap way to sell a house.” The good news: you can get full MLS exposure and professional support without paying the old 5–6% commission.
Below is a clear, seller‑friendly guide to Florida’s leading discount options—with a spotlight on Eaton Real Estate Company and Stephen Eaton, Licensed Real Estate Broker—plus how we stack up against the big national brands.
Why Discount Brokers Are Winning in Florida
- Bigger savings: Listing-side fees around 1% or a low flat fee can save Florida sellers thousands compared to traditional rates.
- Same MLS exposure: Your home appears on the MLS and syndicates to major sites (Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, etc.).
- Choose your level of help: From true full-service at a low percent to DIY flat-fee MLS.
- Transparent pricing: The best discount brokerages keep it simple—no surprise junk fees tacked on at closing.

Head‑to‑Head: How Other “Discount” Brands Compare
Redfin — National Brand, Typically 1.5% Listing Fee (Conditions for 1%)
- What they offer: Full‑service listing at a reduced percentage compared to traditional agents.
- Where it costs more: The widely advertised 1% often requires also buying with Redfin in a defined window; many sellers pay ~1.5% on the listing side. Some markets add minimums or special conditions. Service can feel more team‑based/high‑volume, which may mean less personal bandwidth per listing.
- How we compare: Eaton’s 1% is straightforward—no requirement to buy another home—and you get direct broker access, unlimited changes, and no photo caps.
Clever / Agent‑Matching Networks — ~1.5% Listing via Partner Agents
- What they offer: They match you with a traditional agent who agrees to work for a lower listing fee.
- Where it costs more: Expect ~1.5% on the listing side. Quality varies by the specific agent you’re matched with. Some brokerages may add small admin/TC fees.
- How we compare: Eaton at 1% gives you a known local brokerage lead (Stephen Eaton), no extra junk fees, and statewide coverage with consistent standards.
Houzeo / Flat‑Fee MLS Platforms — ~$300–$400+ Packages (DIY)
- What they offer: Fast, online MLS entry for a low one‑time fee; you manage inquiries, showings, and negotiations.
- Where it costs more (in practice): Add‑ons for extra photos, changes, forms help, or extended terms can stack up. You’re also investing your own time to run the sale.
- How we compare: Our $500 flat‑fee keeps essentials simple: MLS exposure, unlimited changes, no photo limits, and clear pricing—plus the ability to upgrade to 1% full service at any point.
1 Percent Lists / Other 1% Franchises — 1% Listing (Local Variability)
- What they offer: Full‑service at 1% via franchise offices.
- Where it costs more: Some offices add admin/transaction fees or have service differences by location. Consistency can vary.
- How we compare: Eaton’s 1% is one transparent price with unlimited changes and no photo restrictions, delivered by a single statewide brokerage you can call directly.
SimpleShowing / Houwzer / Similar Hybrids — 1% with Minimums/Caps
- What they offer: Full‑service at a low percent; some have minimum listing fees (e.g., $5,000) or caps.
- Where it costs more: Homes under certain price points may hit a minimum that’s effectively higher than 1%. Some operate with high agent volume.
- How we compare: Eaton’s 1% has no price‑point minimum on the listing side and stays personalized.
