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.
What a minimum fee changes
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.
Get these items into the written proposal
- Compensation: percentage, minimum, upfront payment, transaction or administration charges, and when each amount is earned.
- Marketing and access: photography, MLS entry, listing changes, showings, property visits and who supplies or pays for each.
- Representation: who prepares pricing advice, responds to buyers, negotiates offers and coordinates the contract through closing.
- Exit terms: listing duration, cancellation conditions, reimbursable expenses and any obligations that continue afterward.
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.

Phoenix seller guide
Real estate is local. Your listing should reflect that.
A downtown condo, a pool home in Arcadia and a house in Chandler need different marketing—not the same generic pricing estimate. These are examples of local considerations, not claims of guaranteed service areas.
Central Phoenix & Arcadia
Arcadia, Biltmore and Central Phoenix homes are sensitive to lot size, renovation finishes, architectural style and proximity to restaurants and parks.
North Phoenix & Deer Valley
Single-family homes and newer developments often compete on floor plan, energy costs, HOA rules and access to major employment corridors.
Scottsdale & Paradise Valley
Luxury amenities, outdoor living, pool condition, views and neighborhood-by-neighborhood price bands can strongly affect positioning.
East Valley communities
Chandler, Gilbert, Tempe and Mesa sellers should compare similar neighborhoods, builder vintages, HOA fees and available competing inventory.
Phoenix seller resources: prepare your home and compare listing help
A Phoenix listing proposal becomes easier to judge when the brokerage has the actual property records and equipment agreements. Solar, cooling systems, pools and remodeled space can each generate buyer questions. Start with the parcel and jurisdiction, then organize the information behind those features before choosing a launch date.
Confirm the Maricopa County parcel and city
Use the Maricopa County Assessor property search to locate your parcel and review recorded characteristics. Identify the actual municipality; Phoenix, Scottsdale, Mesa and other Valley cities have different local permitting authorities. Flag differences in area or improvements for the broker. An assessment record is a fact-checking resource, not a substitute for a property-specific market analysis.
Gather Phoenix project records where applicable
The Phoenix Planning and Development search tools provide access to project research. Follow the city’s current portal directions and collect available permits and inspection records for additions, garage conversions, patio enclosures or other work. Ask the brokerage how the listing will distinguish completed work from approved use and how missing documentation will be addressed before publication.
Turn solar and cooling features into a clear document packet
Identify whether solar equipment is owned, financed or leased. Obtain the agreement, current account information and provider instructions for a sale or transfer. Gather HVAC service records, equipment ages supported by invoices and warranty terms. For a pool, add significant repair and equipment records. Ask which claims the documents support rather than promising a particular buyer’s future utility costs.
Prepare the HOA and local appointment plan
Request governing documents, current dues, assessment notices and management contacts when an HOA applies. Identify who will order the resale information and handle document charges. Tell the brokerage whether the home will be occupied, vacant or managed from out of town. Get responsibility for photography, showings, inspection access and repair negotiations in writing so the proposal reflects the work needed for this sale.
Bring these items to your listing consultation
- Maricopa County parcel number, actual city and available project records.
- Solar agreement, HVAC invoices, pool records and improvement documentation.
- HOA contact, dues and assessment information, if applicable.
- Written scope for property access, inspection negotiations and separately charged tasks.
Phoenix seller questions
Can I say the solar system is included if payments remain?
Give the brokerage the agreement and current provider information. The marketing and contract should accurately explain ownership, financing or lease obligations and the proposed transfer. Do not describe a financed or leased system as paid off unless verified.
Should an issued permit be described as completed work approval?
Check the record’s status and available inspections. Ask the city or responsible professional to clarify what remains open. The broker should use wording supported by the specific record rather than treating every permit entry as the same result.

Phoenix seller FAQs
What does the 1% listing-side fee cover?
1% is Eaton's proposed listing-side fee for participating independent Arizona-licensed brokerages. The local brokerage's written agreement determines services, the actual accepted percentage, any minimum fees and cancellation terms.
Is 1% guaranteed for Phoenix properties?
The 1% listing-side offer depends on an appropriately licensed independent local brokerage accepting your property and the written fee and service terms. Confirm coverage, minimums and extra charges in its proposal.
Who will represent me in Arizona?
Any listing and representation must be handled by a properly licensed independent local brokerage. Eaton directly brokers real estate in Florida and Texas, and does not claim to be directly licensed in Arizona.
Does the 1% rate include a buyer-agent commission?
No. The 1% offer concerns the listing side only. Any buyer-broker compensation is the seller's separate choice and is negotiable; no particular percentage is required. Other closing expenses can apply.
Can I explore a 1% fee for Scottsdale or the East Valley?
Yes, you can submit properties throughout the Valley for consideration. A local Arizona-licensed brokerage must accept your property, service area and written fee terms before a listing can proceed.
