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.
Philadelphia-area sellers compete across Center City condos, neighborhood rowhouses, Main Line suburbs and commuter communities extending into New Jersey and Delaware.
Compare a professional listing plan that fits your home's neighborhood, layout, condition and likely buyer audience.
Philadelphia sellers have a city-specific records and certification process to build into the listing plan. Check the property’s established use and open issues before writing the marketing description, especially after renovations or a change in occupancy. A useful discount proposal should identify who will request the city documents and follow unresolved items through closing.
Philadelphia Atlas brings together official property information, zoning, permits, licenses, inspections and document archives. Search the exact address and compare the records with the current layout and use. Make a list of unclear entries for the broker or city to review rather than assuming an online record proves that every alteration is complete or every use is approved.
The city explains its Property Sales Certification process for a Philadelphia sale. The certification reports zoning classification, established use and uncorrected violations. Agree who will order it, when the result will be reviewed and who will address questions. Verify the current application requirements and processing information directly before setting a document deadline.
Gather available approvals and completion records for a roof deck, addition, converted basement or altered unit layout. Check what the deed and other records establish about parking or outdoor areas before describing them as included rights. A finished room, attractive roof space or long-standing use should not substitute for a clear explanation of the documented property being sold.
For a condo, request association charges, assessment notices and resale or transfer instructions. For a tenant-occupied property, organize leases and a showing plan for professional review. Ask the broker how the listing will address the property’s established use, current condition and any unresolved record issue, and who will coordinate with the closing professionals when a buyer asks for clarification.
It provides city information about zoning, established use and uncorrected violations. It should not be treated as a substitute for a buyer’s physical inspection or a guarantee of condition. Review both the city records and the property’s actual condition with the appropriate professionals.
No. Confirm whether the address is inside the City of Philadelphia. Suburban Pennsylvania municipalities and properties in New Jersey or Delaware can have different requirements and records. Ask the broker to identify the actual jurisdiction before applying city-specific instructions.

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 Pennsylvania 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.
