On an illustrative $500,000 sale, 1% is $5,000 and 1.5% is $7,500. These are listing-side calculations, not all-in closing costs or confirmed partner quotes. Minimums and other charges may change a written offer.
Review these points before choosing
- Confirm the licensed brokerage that will represent you.
- Ask who handles photography, property access, marketing, showings and negotiations.
- Review the total listing fee, minimum, payment timing and cancellation terms in writing.
- Consider buyer-agent compensation, concessions and other closing costs separately.

1% Full-Service Listing for Venice Sellers.

Eaton also offers $499 FSBO Plus and $99 MLS Basic for owners who prefer to manage more of the sale themselves.

Market the property the way a real buyer will compare it.
Venice sellers often compete across condos, golf communities, newer master-planned neighborhoods, and coastal housing. The right listing setup should be easy for seasonal and out-of-area buyers to evaluate before they ever visit.
Property-specific pricing
Use the closest relevant sold and active competition instead of broad city averages.
Online presentation
Complete listing data, clean photos and fast answers help buyers evaluate the property before a showing.
HOA and community details
Have current dues, restrictions and community information ready when they apply.
Major-system ages
Roof, HVAC, windows and other high-cost items can shape negotiation. Dates and records reduce uncertainty.
Access and showing plan
Make the property easy for qualified buyer agents to schedule and show.
Offer quality
Compare financing, inspection terms, concessions, appraisal exposure and timeline alongside price.
- Confirm property and HOA information
- Gather repair and system records
- Prepare clean, bright photos
- Set access instructions
- Review nearby active competition
- Define your preferred closing timeline
Venice sellers should price around community costs and new-build alternatives.
Venice buyers may compare condos, golf communities, established neighborhoods and newer master-planned options including Wellen Park. Association costs, storm-related facts, upgrades and builder incentives can materially affect buyer math.
Community economics
Dues, assessments, reserves, amenities and restrictions should be clear before buyers compare properties.
Builder competition
Compare new-home incentives, upgrades and move-in timing with the resale’s condition and price.
Coastal and system facts
Roof, flood, wind-mitigation and major-system records can reduce buyer uncertainty.

At closing only if the property sells, subject to the signed agreement.
Can I cancel?
