Florida flat fee MLS FAQs
What does a flat fee MLS listing include in Florida?
Eaton offers two seller-managed plans. $99 MLS Basic includes a six-month listing, up to 10 seller-supplied photos, two listing-change requests and email support. $499 FSBO Plus includes a six-month listing, the maximum MLS photo allowance, unlimited reasonable changes, phone/email support and sales-document resources.
Does either flat-fee plan include pricing advice or a CMA?
No. Neither $99 MLS Basic nor $499 FSBO Plus includes CMA or pricing guidance. You choose the asking price. Choose 1% Full Service when you want pricing guidance and seller representation.
When do I pay the listing fee?
For $99 MLS Basic, payment is after signing and before MLS preparation. For $499 FSBO Plus, you review the live MLS listing before payment, subject to the signed agreement. The 1% Full Service listing-side fee is paid at closing only if sold.
Who answers calls, arranges showings and negotiates?
With either flat-fee plan, the seller handles pricing, inquiries, property access, showings, offers, negotiation, contracts, title and closing. FSBO Plus support and document resources do not include negotiation or transaction management.
Can I order professional photos or an Eaton yard sign?
Professional photography is an optional $199 add-on and an Eaton yard sign is an optional $99 add-on with $499 FSBO Plus and 1% Full Service. Neither add-on is offered with $99 MLS Basic; Basic sellers supply their own photos.
Is buyer-agent compensation part of the flat fee?
No. Buyer-agent compensation is separate, negotiable and chosen by the seller. The listing fee also does not include other selling expenses such as title charges, taxes, loan payoff, repairs or concessions.
Can I upgrade to 1% Full Service?
Yes. Contact Eaton to request seller representation. Confirm and sign the applicable service-change terms before relying on pricing, negotiation or contract-to-close assistance. Any treatment of a previously paid fee must be confirmed in the signed agreement.
Is there one MLS for all of Florida?
No. MLS coverage follows regional service areas. Send the property address so Eaton can confirm the applicable MLS and listing requirements. Website distribution, photo limits and required listing fields can vary by MLS and receiving website.
