Sell Your Home for a 1% Listing Fee
Keep more of your equity with full‑service representation.
Keep more of your equity. No shortcuts. No hidden fees.
At Hawkins Real Estate Company, (Hawkins Real Estate Services in Florida) we offer a true 1% full‑service listing fee for home sellers who want professional representation without paying a traditional 2.5–3% listing commission.
You get the same MLS exposure, marketing, negotiation, and contract‑to‑closing support you expect from a full‑service brokerage — while saving thousands at closing.
Before you list with another agent, compare the numbers for yourself. Most sellers are shocked by how much they keep with a 1% listing fee.
