Buyer-agent compensation and other selling costs are separate. Eaton receives your request first and may earn a referral fee if an introduction results in a closed transaction.
A regional search for a discount listing agent can produce proposals covering very different territory and responsibilities. If you are comparing representation for a property in Orleans, Jefferson or St. Tammany Parish, ask each brokerage to show how its plan fits the specific address, records and access needs.
Give each proposed brokerage the exact parish, municipality, property type and occupancy. Ask which named professional will price the home, answer offers and arrange local tasks. Explain any move across the lake or away from the region before agreeing to the access plan. Confirm property acceptance and responsibility in writing instead of treating a broad metro description as a complete service commitment.
A useful proposal identifies the actual record sources. For Jefferson Parish, Jefferson Parish floodplain services provides address-specific flood and elevation-information assistance. For St. Tammany property, St. Tammany Parish assessment research supplies the assessment starting point. Ask the broker which additional municipal permit, ownership and improvement records your home needs, and who requests them. The sources serve different purposes and should not be treated as interchangeable proof of condition or title.
Ask each brokerage to identify the closed sales and current alternatives it would use, then explain differences in property type, renovation history, documented living space and association obligations. A city double, a suburban detached home and a condominium should not be bundled into one metro-wide pricing assumption. If the proposal relies on a different parish, ask why that comparison helps explain your buyer’s actual choices.
Discuss who handles photographs, appointment arrangements, inspection access and repair-document requests. If you no longer live nearby, identify the person who can carry out tasks at the home and the brokerage’s coordination role. For association properties or homes with flood, storm or major renovation history, ask how the necessary documents will reach buyers and closing professionals without relying on an undefined promise of full service.
Send the same address, property facts, repair history, association information and timing to each brokerage. Ask for a written explanation of its local contact, record plan, comparable-sale reasoning and access arrangements. Review those concrete responsibilities alongside the compensation proposal, and have property-specific condition and ownership questions addressed by the appropriate professionals.
No. Ask for acceptance of the exact property and the named professional responsible for local work. A broad region on a website does not establish the agreed service for your address.
Compare the evidence and explanation behind each proposal. Ask how it accounts for condition, property type and location, and what information would cause the brokerage to revise its recommendation.

NEW ORLEANS METRO · LOCAL MARKET GUIDE
Local buyer comparisons should be based on the correct neighborhood, ownership type and written service plan—not a general metro-wide average. Start with these recognizable micro-markets.
From Magazine Street to Oak Street and South Carrollton Avenue, older houses, doubles and renovations need block-specific comparable sales. Gather permits, legal unit information, parking details and accurate repair history.
Near Esplanade Avenue, Orleans Avenue and the Gentilly neighborhoods, property age and known drainage or storm-repair records can vary substantially. Use local closed sales and actual insurance information, not an across-the-city average.
Old Metairie, Metairie Road and Bucktown should be considered separately from Orleans Parish. Show the correct parish records, elevation documentation, association information for condos and local renovation comparisons.
Mandeville, Covington and West Bank locations span different parishes and housing conditions. These are research markets, not automatically confirmed broker coverage; Eaton checks April Brown's availability for each address before describing a 1% proposal.
For a property-specific review: Begin with the parish, address, flood/elevation documentation, renovations and occupancy. Eaton verifies local representation and whether Hospitality Realty can quote its advertised 1% offer on that property.
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 Louisiana 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.
Share the exact property address and your desired selling timeline to discuss the available licensed brokerage options.
