Tampa listing costs can have minimums and conditions. Compare what a provider handles, what remains with you and the total listing-side fee.

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.
*SimpleShowing's quoted minimum may increase its illustration. Redfin's example uses the published Tampa rate and minimum. Redfin adds 1% if the buyer is unrepresented; qualifying buy-and-sell terms can reduce the effective fee. 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 a no minimum commission and is paid at closing only if sold. For a documented Tampa Bay seller-side listing (not a completed-sale claim), see 8221 Nectar Ridge Ct, Odessa (Stellar MLS #O6434675), listed by Chevon Eaton. Verify current property status on the source.
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.
Tampa seller decision guide
Tampa sellers should compare the actual service model, not just the percentage. For nearby market specifics, review St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Brandon and Riverview seller service pages. South Tampa, downtown condos, suburban communities and newer growth areas can have different buyer pools, insurance considerations and pricing dynamics.
Condo fees, flood and insurance context, HOA costs, age and new-construction competition can change buyer math.
Calculate the dollar fee at the expected sale price rather than assuming the headline percentage is the final cost.
Ask whether the provider represents the seller through pricing, negotiation and closing or mainly provides exposure and support.
Before signing: compare cancellation terms, who handles buyer-agent communication, showing coordination, offer review, repair negotiations and contract-to-close deadlines.
