Compare the fee at your expected sale price

On an illustrative $500,000 sale, 1% is $5,000 and 1.5% is $7,500. These are listing-side calculations, not all-in closing costs or confirmed partner quotes. Minimums and other charges may change a written offer.

Review these points before choosing

  1. Confirm the licensed brokerage that will represent you.
  2. Ask who handles photography, property access, marketing, showings and negotiations.
  3. Review the total listing fee, minimum, payment timing and cancellation terms in writing.
  4. Consider buyer-agent compensation, concessions and other closing costs separately.

Marathon seller strategy

Price and present the property for the specific buyer pool.

A canal-front home, open-water property, condo and inland island residence are different products. Comparable sales should match water position, dockage, association costs, condition and the buyer segment most likely to purchase.

Water and dock features

Document frontage, canal or open-water access, dockage and boating features precisely.

Flood and wind facts

Organize flood-zone, elevation, roof, windstorm and prior-loss information where applicable.

Condo and HOA costs

Current dues, assessments, restrictions and included amenities should be easy to review.

Vacation-home presentation

Strong online photos and complete facts matter for remote and seasonal buyers.

Condition and systems

Roof, HVAC, plumbing, exterior and maintenance history deserve clear documentation.

Offer quality

Compare financing, insurance feasibility, inspections, furnishings, concessions and closing timing.

Before launch

  • Confirm water and dock details
  • Gather flood and windstorm records
  • Organize HOA or condo documents
  • Prepare high-quality photos
  • Review water-specific comps
  • Define furnishing and closing terms
Marathon listing details

Marathon listings need to answer the boating and ownership questions early.

Keys buyers often compare water access, dock configuration, storm resilience, association costs and maintenance requirements before they compare finishes. A seller who organizes those details before launch can make the property easier to evaluate remotely.

Water utility

Describe actual boating access and dock setup accurately.

Ownership clarity

Provide association, maintenance and insurance-related facts where available.

Remote-buyer confidence

Use detailed photos and complete property facts to reduce uncertainty before showings.
