Keep Your Equity: Flat Fee MLS in Longwood & The Markham Woods Corridor

At Hawkins Real Estate Services, we provide Longwood property owners, 24-hour guard-gated estate sellers, championship golf community residents, multi-acre homestead stewards, 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.

Celebrated for its majestic natural canopy of ancient oaks and cypress, premier school districts, and distinguished luxury enclaves, Longwood is one of the most affluent and desirable residential addresses in Seminole County. Longwood pairs timeless historic appeal with exceptional executive living: centered around the charming brick streets and Victorian architecture of the Longwood Historic District (a designated National Historic District featuring the 1870s Bradlee-McIntyre House and the historic Longwood Hotel), as well as direct commuter access via the Longwood SunRail station. Bordered on the west by the pristine wilderness of the Wekiva River basin and the Wekiwa Springs State Park buffer, Longwood provides homeowners with nature trails, natural spring runs, and peaceful canoeing sanctuaries. Western Longwood is anchored by the world-renowned Markham Woods Road luxury corridor, home to some of Central Florida's most prestigious gated golf and equestrian developments. Longwood’s residential real estate market features an elite collection of properties: from multi-million-dollar custom luxury estates and golf fairway residences inside the 24-hour guard-gated gates of Alaqua Lakes (featuring a Tom Fazio-designed championship golf layout) and Alaqua (Gary Player-designed championship course), to secluded multi-acre estates and spring-fed lakefront compounds in Sweetwater Club, Sweetwater Oaks (with private beach and boat ramp access to Lake Brantley and the Wekiva River), The Springs (a unique private gated enclave set around its own natural artesian spring), Sabal Point, and established suburban pool homes throughout Shadowbay and Wekiva Run. Bisected by Interstate 4, State Road 434, State Road 427 (Ronald Reagan Boulevard), Markham Woods Road, and U.S. 17-92, Longwood provides a fast 15-to-20-minute commute south into Downtown Orlando and Winter Park, immediate 10-minute access to high-tech employment centers in Lake Mary, and quick transit to Orlando Sanford International Airport (SFB). Placing your home directly on Stellar MLS guarantees your listing is seen instantly by tens of thousands of active licensed Florida REALTORS® and syndicated globally across every premier real estate portal.

With Longwood commanding premier executive and luxury valuations across its guard-gated golf and acreage sectors, surrendering a conventional 3% listing broker commission routinely extracts $15,000 to over $45,000 from your transaction proceeds at the closing table. Flat Fee MLS delivers 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.
