At Hawkins Real Estate Services, we bring a modern 1% full-service listing fee model to Southwest Florida home sellers who want dedicated, top-tier broker representation without handing over 2.5% to 3% in traditional listing commissions.
Whether you are selling a waterfront single-family home in Venice or Nokomis, a coastal estate on Siesta Key or Longboat Key, a golf community home in Lakewood Ranch or Palmer Ranch, or a property in Sarasota, Bradenton, or North Port, Hawkins Real Estate Services provides full **Stellar MLS** syndication, accurate comparative market analyses, professional showing management, HOA/COA estoppel coordination, and full Florida FAR/BAR contract negotiation support.
In Southwest Florida’s highly active Gulf Coast market, saving 2% on your listing commission means retaining $10,000, $20,000, or even $40,000+ of your hard-earned home equity at settlement.
1. What Does a 1% Florida Listing Fee Include?

2. How Much Do Southwest Florida Sellers Save?
Traditional listing agents charge 2.5%–3% on the listing side alone. With our 1% fee:
