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.
New York spans co-op and condominium markets, dense borough neighborhoods, suburban towns and upstate single-family homes.
Learn how to compare a local agent, estimate the listing-side fee and decide whether a reduced-commission arrangement makes sense for your property.
New York sellers need a listing plan that fits the property’s ownership type and municipality. An upstate house, Hudson Valley acreage, condominium and New York City cooperative should not be treated as the same paperwork assignment. Compare discount brokers on the records, marketing and transaction coordination they will provide for the home you actually own.
Review the current New York property condition disclosure provisions with your broker and attorney. Applicability and exemptions matter, and forms have changed. Assemble known condition, repair, water and private-system information before completing the appropriate documents. Do not rely on an old seller checklist or assume that a practice from a previous transaction still applies.
The New York Department of State broker FAQ explains how to use eAccessNY’s public license search. Confirm the broker or salesperson and the brokerage named in the agreement. Ask who will coordinate with your attorney and respond to buyer requests during contract preparation, inspection discussions and closing. Referral marketing alone does not establish local representation.
For a house, obtain available deed, survey, municipal assessment and permit information. For a condominium or cooperative, identify the managing agent and obtain the relevant financial, rule and transfer materials. Ask the professionals involved to verify unit count, permitted use and any claimed expansion potential. A tax record, listing description and building approval answer different questions.
Organize heating-system, roof, water-entry and other major repair records. For rural property, include well, septic, access and easement information; for a shared building, include current charges and assessment notices. Ask the broker how the property will be priced against genuinely comparable sales, accounting for ownership type, condition, location and ongoing obligations instead of broad regional averages.
No. Cooperative ownership and building approvals involve a different document and review process. Ask the broker and attorney which financial statements, transfer requirements and building information apply before using a detached-home checklist or committing to a closing timetable.
Identify the actual brokerage, listing-side fee and minimum, photography and access arrangements, negotiation support and coordination with your attorney. The property-specific written terms should explain what is included and which work remains with you or another professional.

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.
Outside Florida and Texas, Eaton does not act as the local listing brokerage. The listing agreement and representation, if available, would be through a separately licensed New York brokerage.
The 1% listing-side offer is subject to participating independent local brokerage coverage and written acceptance. Confirm your address, included services, any minimum and extra charges in its proposal.
Interview the local licensed brokerage, review its recent comparable transactions and confirm what is included, who manages showings and how cancellation and fees work.
No. Any buyer-agent compensation or concessions are separately negotiable and remain your decision, subject to the transaction terms.
