Get Your House Show-Ready | Niceville, Shalimar & Fort Walton Beach Sellers

Price your home too high, and you'll actually sell for less. Like, $12,000-$47,000 less. The first 30 days are everything—miss that window, and you're fighting an uphill battle. Here's why most agents get pricing wrong and what we do differently at UberRealty.

Beat the market by fixing condition, pricing to location, and proving total cost of ownership. Skip aspirational pricing. Same MLS, same buyers, better net with our 1% listing

QUICK ANSWER: No: yet most Niceville sellers do exactly that by overpaying on real estate commissions in 2025. Traditional 5-6% fees cost $25,000-$30,000 on a $500,000 home. With 1% listing fees, you save $10,000-$15,000 while getting the same MLS exposure and results.

A government shutdown does not stop VA, FHA, or USDA loans. Buyers in Niceville, Shalimar, and Fort Walton Beach can still close, but expect delays. The biggest holdups are usually flood insurance approvals, IRS income verification, and slower VA/FHA processing times. Sellers should price correctly, stay flexible with timelines, and work with an agent who knows how to navigate the hiccups so equity isn’t lost.
