Sell Your Home in Shalimar Pointe, FL
Selling a home in Shalimar Pointe starts with an important question:
What is your property really competing against?
A home overlooking a fairway is not automatically comparable to every other Shalimar address. Lot position, golf-course views, updates, major systems, insurance costs and current buyer demand can all affect your selling price.
Uber Realty helps you prepare the home, understand the market and build a clear plan from listing to closing.

“I Don’t Want to Give It Away.”
That is one of the first things we hear from homeowners thinking about selling.
You may be wondering:
What is my home really worth?
Is this the right time to sell?
Should I make repairs before listing?
Will buyers value my golf-course location?
How much will commissions and closing costs take from my sale?
What happens if the home sits on the market?
How do I know which offer is actually best?
These are reasonable concerns. The answer is not to guess, automatically hire the first agent you speak with or rely on the name of a national real estate brand.
The answer is to understand your property, your competition and your choices before making important decisions.
You own the home. You make the decisions. Uber Realty guides you from preparation to closing.
Shalimar Pointe Is a Small Market With Big Differences
Buyers are not simply shopping for a Shalimar ZIP code. They compare the view, street, lot, floor plan, condition and total cost of owning the home.
Shalimar Pointe Golf Club is an 18-hole course located along Choctawhatchee Bay. Its fairways, mature trees and waterfront setting are an important part of the neighborhood’s appeal.
But the golf-course setting does not create one price for every home.
Your home’s value may be affected by:
Golf-course frontage and view quality
Lot position and privacy
Square footage and floor plan
Renovations and overall condition
Roof, HVAC and water-heater ages
Electrical and plumbing updates
Flood-zone and insurance considerations
Association requirements
Available competing homes
An online estimate or neighborhood median cannot see all these differences. A property-specific Comparative Market Analysis can.
Positioning Your Home for the Right Buyer
Your buyer might be relocating to Eglin Air Force Base, moving within Okaloosa County, downsizing or looking for a golf-course community near Fort Walton Beach.
Your marketing needs to answer the questions that matter to that buyer:
What makes the lot or view special?
Which parts of the home have been updated?
How old are the roof, HVAC and water heater?
Is a wind-mitigation or four-point inspection available?
What association documents and fees apply?
What should the buyer know about insurance or the flood zone?
How convenient is the home to Eglin AFB, Hurlburt Field and local services?
When these questions are answered early, buyers can make decisions with greater confidence.
Your Five-Step Shalimar Pointe Selling Plan
1. Prepare the Homeowner and the Home
We start by understanding your priorities, timing and concerns.
Then we gather the available association documents, survey, permit history, system ages and property information. We review the roof, HVAC, water heater, electrical system and plumbing before a buyer’s inspector or insurance company does.
Preparation does not mean remodeling everything. It means knowing what you have, deciding what matters and avoiding preventable surprises.
2. Position the Home
Your home should be priced against the properties buyers will actually compare with it.
A fairway view may deserve a premium, but the condition, floor plan, lot and current competition must support the price.
The goal is to attract serious buyers without giving your home away.
3. Market the Difference
Professional photography, clear listing copy and broad online exposure help buyers understand what makes your home different.
We use the local MLS to distribute the listing to major real estate websites, participating brokerages and buyer-agent search tools.
When buyers find your home, the presentation should give them a reason to place it on their short list.
4. Negotiate the Complete Offer
The highest price is not always the best offer.
We help you compare:
Financing strength
Earnest money
Inspection terms
Repair requests
Seller concessions
Appraisal risk
Closing dates
Buyer-agent compensation
Other contract conditions
The money you keep and the likelihood of reaching closing matter just as much as the headline offer price.
5. Close
We track the inspection, insurance, appraisal, title work, association documents and contract deadlines.
Problems are addressed early, and you remain informed until the sale closes and the keys are transferred.

Choose the Level of Help You Need
Selling a home should not require every homeowner to purchase the same one-size-fits-all service.
Uber Realty gives Shalimar Pointe sellers a choice.
1% Listing Option
The 1% Listing Option is designed for most homeowners who are comfortable communicating by text or email and using electronic signatures.
You approve showings and help with basic access to the property. Uber Realty handles:
Pricing guidance
Professional marketing
MLS exposure
Buyer and agent communication
Offer review
Negotiation
Contract support
Closing coordination
Committed sellers may also qualify for the Simple Fee Option, an alternative payment arrangement within the 1% service level that may reduce the listing cost further.

The 2% Listing Option is for homeowners who want more hands-on help.
It includes everything in the 1% option, plus additional in-person assistance with:
Inspectors and appraisers
Vendors and repairs
Property access
Showing logistics
Transaction details
Preparing an inherited or vacant property
This can be a good fit for busy homeowners, out-of-town sellers, estate representatives or anyone who wants more assistance throughout the sale.
Buyer-agent compensation is separate and negotiable. Depending on the seller’s decisions and the transaction, the total commission may be approximately 3%. All commissions are negotiable.

Shalimar Pointe Home-Selling Questions
How much is my Shalimar Pointe home worth?
Your value depends on recent comparable sales, lot position, golf-course views, square footage, condition, updates, insurance considerations and available competing homes.
Neighborhood averages can provide context, but they cannot replace a property-specific Comparative Market Analysis.
Does golf-course frontage guarantee a higher selling price?
No. A desirable view can increase buyer interest, but its value depends on view quality, privacy, lot position, home condition, floor plan and competing listings.
What should I prepare before listing?
Start gathering your survey, permits, association information, system ages, wind-mitigation report, four-point inspection and available flood or insurance documents.
Do not worry if you do not have everything. Jim will help you determine what is important for your sale.
Will the 1% option give my home broad online exposure?
Yes. Your home is entered into the same local MLS used by other participating real estate brokers. The listing can then be distributed to major buyer-facing real estate websites, cooperating brokerages and buyer-agent search tools.
What is the difference between the 1% and 2% options?
Both options include pricing guidance, professional marketing, MLS exposure, offer review, negotiation and contract support.
The 2% option includes more hands-on and in-person help with inspectors, appraisers, vendors, property access and other selling logistics.
Is buyer-agent compensation included?
No. Buyer-agent compensation is separate and negotiable. You decide whether to offer it and how much to offer. All commissions are negotiable.
