Tenant placement and rental MLS service in Florida
Eaton Real Estate Company helps Florida landlords list long-term residential rentals and place tenants without requiring an ongoing property-management contract. Qualifying Kissimmee-area owners can also choose ongoing management separately.
Leasing help for independent Florida landlords
Florida rental demand varies sharply by metro, property type and season. Eaton’s leasing-only model is designed for owners who need help getting a long-term rental marketed and leased but do not want to hand off the property to an ongoing management company.
Choose $99 Rental MLS-Only if you want the applicable MLS listing and plan to handle the leasing process yourself. Choose Tenant Placement for 50% of the first month’s rent when you want more brokerage help with pricing, marketing, inquiries, showings, applications, screening coordination and the agreed lease-to-move-in steps.
Neither MLS-only nor tenant placement includes an ongoing management fee. You keep control after placement unless you separately choose Eaton’s Central Florida long-term property management, currently offered at 8% of rent collected for qualifying properties.

Florida rental service FAQ
Is tenant placement the same as property management?
No. Tenant placement covers the leasing work included in the signed brokerage agreement and ends after the agreed handoff. Ongoing management is a separate service; qualifying Central Florida landlords can review Eaton’s long-term property management service.
Is the $99 service available everywhere in Florida?
Coverage is broad, but Eaton confirms the property address and applicable MLS before the listing is started.
When is the tenant-placement fee due?
The placement fee is 50% of one month’s rent, due when the tenant pays the first month’s rent under the signed agreement. The owner provides access; if Eaton personally conducts showings for unrepresented renters, the placement fee is one full month’s rent under an advance signed agreement.
