Published by Eaton Real Estate Company to explain listing options. This is not an independent ranking or confirmation of local agent coverage. All commissions are negotiable; buyer-agent compensation, if offered, is separate.
The Dayton metro includes older urban housing, suburban neighborhoods and communities close to universities and military employment.

A Dayton postal address does not by itself tell you which local government handles a property. That distinction can affect the records your broker needs and the way an improvement or rental is described. Begin by identifying the parcel and municipality, then build a sale file around the home’s actual systems, occupancy and condition.
The City of Dayton’s official FAQs explain checking the county auditor’s tax district to establish whether a parcel is within city limits. Use that check before applying city-specific guidance. For another city or township, ask its office about the relevant records and sale preparation rather than treating the mailing address as the answer.
Use the Montgomery County real estate tax and assessment search to locate the parcel by address, owner or parcel number. Compare the recorded building features with the property. Give the broker a list of discrepancies, current tax documents and any separate parcels included in the sale so the marketing and closing instructions refer to the same property.
Collect available permits, inspection completion records and invoices for additions, replacement systems or finished lower-level space. Include known water-entry, foundation or drainage work when relevant. The Ohio Residential Property Disclosure Form provides the state’s framework for conditions actually known to the owner; supporting documents help explain what was done without promising that future repairs will never be needed.
For a rented house or multi-unit property, prepare leases, deposits, utility arrangements and a showing-access plan for professional review. For a condo, request charges, assessment notices and transfer instructions. Ask how the broker will compare similar ownership and occupancy situations, and who will respond when a buyer requests records or raises an inspection issue.
Use the county auditor’s tax-district information as directed by the City of Dayton, then ask the responsible local office if there is uncertainty. This is a practical starting point for finding the appropriate permit or other municipal records.
No. Tax information is useful for identifying and describing a parcel, but approved use requires the relevant local records. Ask the broker to identify the authority that can verify the configuration before advertising the property as a duplex or another multi-unit arrangement.

Compare a 1% listing-side calculation with another written proposal at the same sale price. Enter any quoted minimum commission and extra listing charges. A lower percentage does not always produce the lower bill.
Illustrative arithmetic only. The example sale price and comparison rate are not local market averages. Zero is a starting input, not a statement that a brokerage has no minimum or extra fees. The 1% offer is subject to participating independent local brokerage coverage and written acceptance. Buyer-agent compensation, concessions and other selling costs are separate. All commissions are negotiable.
On an illustrative $200,000 sale, 1% is $2,000. If a proposal has a $4,500 minimum, its listing commission becomes $4,500—an effective 2.25% before extras. A separate 2% proposal without a minimum would be $4,000. Compare the actual dollars and service responsibilities before deciding.
Compare expected proceeds as well as fees. Begin with your expected sale price, then subtract the listing charge, any separately negotiated buyer-agent payment, seller concessions, other closing costs and loan payoffs. A commission difference by itself does not predict the price, timing or net proceeds of a sale.
The 1% listing-side offer requires participating independent local brokerage coverage and written acceptance. Ask for the brokerage’s name, services, minimums and extra charges before deciding.
No. Eaton's direct brokerage operates in Texas and Florida. A Ohio listing would require a locally licensed independent brokerage and a separate signed listing agreement.
Select the state where the property is located. Cross-state metro-area marketing does not replace licensing and agreement requirements in the property's jurisdiction.
Yes. A seller inquiry creates no listing obligation, and any proposed local broker terms should be reviewed before agreement.
