Tampa seller guide · Updated September 27, 2026
A Tampa-focused comparison of five lower-cost seller options, using current public pricing and recent local housing-market data rather than a generic statewide list.
Editorial disclosure
Tampa market context
Redfin reported a Tampa median sale price of $478,683 over the three months ending August 2026. Homes sold in about 46 days on average, 1,467 homes sold in August, and the sale-to-list ratio was 96.9%.

Fee comparison
| Provider | Published seller pricing | Minimum / condition | Service model | What to verify |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clever Real Estate | 1.5% listing fee | $3,000 minimum | Agent-matching network with local partner agents | The specific Tampa agent and what is included in that agent's marketing plan |
| Eaton Real Estate Company | 1% listing-side fee | No minimum; paid at closing only if sold | Full-service seller representation with direct broker support | Photography and yard sign are optional add-ons rather than included |
| Flat Fee Florida Realty | $4,895 full-service fee | Advertised as payable when sold, with no upfront cost | Florida flat-fee full-service brokerage | Exactly which marketing and showing services apply to your property |
| Redfin | Tampa-specific September 2026 reporting shows 1.5%; Redfin says 1% applies only with qualifying buy-and-sell terms | $4,500 Tampa-area minimum reported; market terms and eligibility apply | Full-service brokerage with technology platform | Confirm the current Tampa quote directly; Redfin's generic seller page may show a different market rate |
| SimpleShowing | Advertises 1% listing commission | $5,000 minimum reported for Tampa; verify current local terms | Full-service local-agent model; Tampa is listed among served markets | The Tampa-specific minimum and exact included marketing package |
Tampa price example
Using Redfin's recent Tampa median sale price, these examples show the advertised listing-side cost only. Buyer-agent compensation, optional services and other closing costs are excluded.
*Current Tampa-specific reporting lists a $5,000 SimpleShowing minimum and a 1.5% Redfin rate with a $4,500 minimum. Redfin's generic seller materials note that local rates vary and 1% requires qualifying buy-and-sell terms. Confirm current terms directly.
Tampa-specific decision points
Eaton's Tampa paths
Pricing/CMA guidance, inquiry and showing coordination, feedback, offer review and negotiation, and contract-to-close support. The 1% listing-side fee has no minimum and is paid only if sold.
For sellers who want to manage inquiries, showings, offers and the transaction themselves, Eaton offers dedicated Tampa flat-fee MLS options instead of blurring DIY and representation.
Methodology
We included lower-cost seller services with publicly stated pricing and verified Florida/Tampa availability. We compared listing-side pricing, minimums or eligibility conditions, and the broad service model. We did not copy another site's ranking, score the companies, or call Eaton the “best.” Local market data is shown separately from company pricing so readers can judge the tradeoffs at a realistic Tampa price point.
Update policy: terms can change. Sellers should verify current pricing directly with each provider before signing.
