1% Listing Agent in Niceville, Shalimar, and Fort Walton Beach

TL;DR

Uber Realty's 1% Done With You option is for sellers who want full broker representation without paying for brokerage overhead that has nothing to do with selling their home.

You get MLS exposure, pricing strategy, offer review, negotiation support, and contract-to-close management. You provide a few documents and basic property information about your own home. Jim handles everything that requires a broker.

The listing fee is 1%. Buyer-agent compensation is separate and negotiable.

If you are selling in Niceville, Shalimar, or Fort Walton Beach and want to know what you will keep at closing, text Jim before you sign anything.

A lower listing fee does not mean a weaker sale

The MLS does not care what your listing fee is. Neither does the buyer pool.

What gets a home sold is pricing, presentation, negotiation, and smart contract management. Those are broker skills. They do not cost more because the brokerage has more overhead.

Uber Realty is built around one idea: the seller should keep more equity, and a leaner business model is how that happens.

Same MLS. Same buyer pool. Same forms. Same serious selling process. Different math at closing.

What Jim handles

This is the broker work. It happens on Jim's side.

Pricing strategy
Based on recent sold comps, active competition, neighborhood behavior, and buyer demand. Not a guess. Not an algorithm.

Pre-listing guidance
What to fix, what to leave alone, and what helps the home show better online and in person.

Photography and 3D tour coordination
Professional photography and 3D tour are ordered and coordinated before the listing goes live.

MLS setup and launch
Full MLS entry, listing remarks, agent notes, document uploads, ShowingTime setup, and exposure across the major buyer-facing real estate websites.

Offer review and seller net sheet
Every offer gets a plain-English summary and a net sheet so you can see what you actually keep, not just the sale price.

Negotiation support
Through the offer, inspection period, repair requests, appraisal, and any contract issues that come up before closing.

Contract-to-close management
Coordination with the buyer's agent, title company, lender, inspector, and appraiser. Deadlines tracked. Paperwork handled. Closing scheduled.

Direct broker access
Jim is the broker. You are not handed off to an assistant or a transaction coordinator you have never met.

What the seller provides

This is the homeowner side. You would need most of this regardless of which agent you hired.

Seller disclosure
Florida requires sellers to disclose known material defects. Jim provides the form. You fill it out.

HOA or condo documents
If the home is in an HOA or a condominium, the governing documents come from you, the HOA, or county records. Jim walks you through exactly what is needed.

Basic property information
Roof age, HVAC age, water heater age, wiring type, and pool details if applicable. You know your home. This part is straightforward.

Showing access
You manage access through ShowingTime (the app that sends you showing requests and lets you confirm or decline in seconds). It takes about thirty seconds per request.

That is the split. You provide information about your own home. Jim handles everything that requires a broker license, market knowledge, and transaction experience.

What stays the same

When you list with Uber Realty, these do not change:

Your home is entered into the MLS and exposed to the full buyer pool
Your home appears on the major real estate websites buyers already use
You get a real pricing strategy based on sold comps and local market behavior
You get offer review, negotiation support, and contract management
You get direct access to a licensed Florida broker from the first conversation through closing

The serious selling work does not get cut. The overhead behind the brokerage does.

What changes

The fee.

You should pay for the work that helps sell your home. You should not pay for franchise fees, office overhead, or management layers that are not part of your transaction.

That is why the fee is lower. Not because the work is lighter.

Here is what the fee difference looks like

These are illustrative examples. Actual fees depend on the terms negotiated in your transaction.

On a $400,000 sale:

1% listing fee = $4,000
2% listing fee = $8,000

On a $500,000 sale:

1% listing fee = $5,000
2% listing fee = $10,000

On a $600,000 sale:

1% listing fee = $6,000
2% listing fee = $12,000

Buyer-agent compensation is not included in these figures. It is negotiable and is not required. Some sellers choose to offer it as part of their strategy. Some do not. Jim can walk you through the tradeoffs before you decide.

You can also estimate your seller savings using the Uber Realty seller savings calculator.

Savings examples are illustrative. Actual savings depend on sale price, listing fee selected, buyer-agent compensation, seller concessions, repairs, title costs, and final contract terms. All commissions are negotiable and are not set by law.

Who this fits

This model works well for sellers who:

Want real broker guidance without paying for overhead unrelated to their sale
Are comfortable providing basic documents and property information about their own home
Want pricing, negotiation, and contract management handled by a licensed broker
Care about seller net, not just sale price
Are selling in Niceville, Shalimar, or Fort Walton Beach and want someone who knows the difference between Bluewater Bay, Rocky Bayou, Magnolia Woods, Poquito Bayou, Kenwood, and Elliott Point

Who may want the 2% option instead

The 2% Done For You option may be a better fit if:

You are relocating or out of town during the sale
The home needs more hands-on coordination
You want Jim more involved in day-to-day logistics
You prefer a more hands-off experience from start to finish

Neither option is the backup plan. They are two different service levels for two different seller situations. If you are not sure which fits, ask Jim before you decide.

Jim's local read

Pricing a home in Bluewater Bay is not the same as pricing a home in Poquito Bayou. A military PCS move out of Fort Walton Beach does not look the same as a discretionary move in Niceville. Flood zone designations, roof age, four-point inspection concerns, and HOA restrictions can all affect what a buyer will pay and what the contract will survive.

A lower listing fee only works in the seller's favor when the advice behind it is solid.

Text Jim before you sign

FAQ

Have more questions before you decide? Here are the ones sellers ask most.

What does a 1% listing agent actually do?

A 1% listing agent handles the broker work: pricing strategy, MLS setup, photography coordination, offer review, negotiation, and contract-to-close management. The listing fee is lower because the business model is leaner, not because the work is lighter.

Do I still get on the MLS with Uber Realty?

Yes. Your home is entered into the MLS and exposed to the full buyer pool and the major real estate websites buyers already use.

What do I have to do as the seller?

You provide the seller disclosure, HOA or condo documents if applicable, basic property information about your home, and showing access through ShowingTime. Jim walks you through the full list before you sign anything.

Is this the same as a flat-fee MLS service?

No. A flat-fee MLS service typically posts your listing and steps back. Uber Realty's 1% Done With You option includes pricing strategy, offer review, negotiation support, and full contract-to-close management. Jim is involved from the first conversation through closing.

Do I have to pay a buyer's agent?

No. Since August 2024, sellers are no longer required to offer compensation to a buyer's agent through the MLS. It is a strategic decision you make based on your home, your market, and your goals. Jim can walk you through the tradeoffs for your specific situation before you decide.

How much could I save compared to a higher listing fee?

On a $500,000 sale, the difference between a 1% listing fee and a 2% listing fee is $5,000. That is before buyer-agent compensation, concessions, repairs, and title costs. Use the seller savings calculator to run your own numbers. Savings examples are illustrative. Actual savings depend on the specific terms of your transaction.

Will a lower listing fee hurt my sale price or attract fewer buyers?

No. The MLS and the buyer pool are the same regardless of your listing fee. What affects buyer interest is pricing, presentation, and how the home shows. Those are handled the same way regardless of which fee option you choose.

What is the difference between the 1% and 2% options?

The 1% Done With You option is for sellers who are comfortable providing documents and managing showing access. The 2% Done For You option is for sellers who want more hands-on involvement from Jim throughout the process. Read more about the 2% full-service option.

Does this work for condos or HOA communities?

Yes. Condos and HOA properties have additional document requirements. Jim walks you through what is needed before the listing goes live.

How do I know if this is the right fit for my situation?

Text Jim at (850) 499-2940. A short conversation about your home, your timeline, and your goals is usually enough to know which option fits. You can also read common seller questions on the home seller FAQ page or request a home value and seller net review to get started.
