List Your Englewood PropertyKeep Your Equity: Flat Fee MLS in Englewood & Lemon Bay
At Hawkins Real Estate Services, we provide Englewood homeowners, barrier island beachfront property owners, Lemon Bay boaters, second-home sellers, and residential real estate investors with direct listing placement on the regional Multiple Listing Service through Stellar MLS via our transparent, predictable Flat Fee MLS listing packages.
Straddling the coastal boundary between Sarasota County and Charlotte County, Englewood is one of Southwest Florida’s most pristine, laid-back coastal enclaves. Treasured for its unhurried Old Florida charm, uncrowded Gulf beaches, boutique art and dining along historic Dearborn Street (Olde Englewood Village), and exceptional boating waters in Lemon Bay and the Intracoastal Waterway (ICW), Englewood attracts waterfront buyers, winter residents, and year-round homeowners seeking natural coastal beauty without high-density commercial high-rises. The local real estate landscape features a remarkable variety of coastal residences: from multi-million-dollar Gulf-front and bayfront estates along the barrier island sands of Manasota Key, to deepwater canal pool homes with private docks and lifts in Englewood Isles, Overbrook Gardens, and Key Agency, charming Old Florida cottages and bungalows near Lemon Bay Park, affordable single-family residences on oversized dry lots throughout East Englewood, gated golf villas bordering Rotonda West, and quiet acreage retreats extending toward Grove City and Placida. Served by State Road 776 (Englewood Road / McCall Road), County Road 775 (Placida Road), and Beach Road, Englewood provides swift coastal connectivity north into South Venice and Venice, and east toward Port Charlotte, Punta Gorda, and Interstate 75. Placement on Stellar MLS guarantees your listing is broadcast immediately to tens of thousands of licensed REALTORS® across Southwest and Central Florida, as well as qualified buyers searching locally, nationally, and internationally.
Given the strong values across Englewood's coastal, canal, and golf-adjacent neighborhoods, handing over a traditional 3% listing broker commission routinely drains $10,000 to over $35,000 from your transaction proceeds at the closing table. Flat Fee MLS offers identical statewide and regional MLS syndication to all major public real estate platforms—including Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and Homes.com—while ensuring you retain complete For Sale By Owner (FSBO) control over your showing schedule, open houses, contract reviews, and closing proceeds.
