Question 1

How does Manatee Flat Fee Incentive Program work?

Accepted Answer

With Manatee Flat Fee, we provide full-service real estate representation for just 1.5% of your home’s sale price (with a $4,000 minimum). You only pay when your home sells, with no upfront fees, no gimmicks, and no hidden costs.

Question 2

What’s included in the 1.5% fee?

Accepted Answer

Everything you need to sell your home successfully: 3D Virtual Tour – Interactive 3D Matterport walkthrough, letting buyers “walk” through your home virtually. Homes.com Boost – Top-of-page placement delivering 626% more favorites, 343% more shares, and 74× more impressions, re-targeted across major sites. MLS listing + major site exposure (Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, etc.). Professional photography & marketing materials. Strategic pricing & market analysis. Expert negotiations & offer management. Guidance through inspections, appraisals, and closing. Full contract-to-close support.

Question 3

What about the buyer’s agent commission?

Accepted Answer

The 1.5%* covers the listing side only. In most sales, sellers also offer a buyer’s agent commission (up to 3%) to incentivize buyer agents to show your home—commissions are not set by law and are always negotiable. We strongly recommend a minimum of 2.5% buyer’s agent compensation to ensure maximum exposure. This is separate from our 1.5%* listing fee. If we bring the buyer and represent that buyer as well, the buyer’s agent commission can be reduced to 2%. In that case (transaction agent for both sides), your total would be the listing fee of 1.5%* + 2% buyer’s agent compensation.

Question 4

Is this a discount or limited service?

Accepted Answer

Not at all. Manatee Flat Fee is a full-service listing incentive program (not a company) that reduces unnecessary overhead so you keep more equity. You receive full legal representation and the complete service stack—just without the inflated traditional commission.

Question 5

Will my home be listed on the MLS?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Your property will be listed on the MLS and syndicated to hundreds of websites—Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, Trulia, Homes.com, and more—giving your home maximum exposure across Florida.

Question 6

How fast can you list my home?

Accepted Answer

We can often have your home live on the MLS within 24–48 hours once we have photos, property details, and a signed listing agreement. The process is streamlined for speed without cutting corners.

Question 7

What if I need help with pricing or staging?

Accepted Answer

We provide a Comprehensive Market Analysis to guide pricing and practical staging tips so your home shines online and in person.

Question 8

Are there any hidden fees or upfront costs?

Accepted Answer

No. You don’t pay anything upfront. Our 1.5% listing fee is due at closing—and only when your home sells. We believe in total transparency.

Question 9

What makes Manatee Flat Fee different from other “flat fee” services?

Accepted Answer

Many flat-fee brokerages simply post your home on the MLS and leave the rest to you (or charge an upfront deposit). Not us. You get a true full-service Realtor® experience—not DIY.

Question 10

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We proudly serve Manatee County and surrounding areas, including Parrish, Palmetto, Ellenton, Sarasota, Bradenton, Lakewood Ranch, and nearby communities.

Question 11

Can I work directly with you, or is this automated?

Accepted Answer

You’ll work directly with Greg, an experienced local Realtor®—not a call center. We leverage technology to simplify the process, but you’ll always have personal, one-on-one support.

Question 12

How much could I actually save?

Accepted Answer

If your home sells for $500,000, a 3% listing fee costs $15,000. With Manatee Flat Fee at 1.5%, you pay $7,500—same service & result for half the cost. That’s $7,500 back in your pocket.

Question 13

How do I get started?

Accepted Answer

It’s easy — contact Greg for a quick consultation. Call or text Greg - 941-312-1616. We’ll review your goals, explain the process, and outline exactly how much you’ll save. From there, we can have your home listed within days.
