Broward County is one of Florida's most active residential real estate markets. The mix runs from sub-$400K condos in Hollywood and Tamarac to $1M+ waterfront in Fort Lauderdale and Parkland. Across that entire range, the listing-side commission a traditional brokerage charges scales directly with the sale price — the flat fee does not. The bigger the home, the bigger the gap. Here is the math you can run on your own home in 30 seconds.
The flat fee structure for Broward listings
Our flat fee for a Broward residential listing is $3,595 total, broken into:
- $595 upfront — covers onboarding, the pricing consultation with a licensed broker, professional photography, MLS preparation, and listing launch on Beaches MLS
- $3,000 only at closing — paid when your home sells. Covers offer review, negotiation, inspection guidance, and transaction support through the closing table
That fee is the same whether you list a $400K Hollywood condo or a $1.2M Fort Lauderdale waterfront home.
What a traditional Broward listing commission looks like
The typical Broward residential listing carries a total commission of 5%–6%, split between listing-side and buyer-side. The listing side — the part Flat Fee Select replaces — is typically 2.5%–3%. The buyer-side is a separate decision regardless of which brokerage lists your home.
At 3% listing-side:
- $400,000 home → $12,000 listing-side commission
- $600,000 home → $18,000
- $850,000 home → $25,500
- $1,200,000 home → $36,000
The savings math at common Broward price points
Side-by-side, listing-side only:
| Sale price | Traditional 3% | Flat fee | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $400,000 (Hollywood condo) | $12,000 | $3,595 | +$8,405 |
| $600,000 (Plantation SFR) | $18,000 | $3,595 | +$14,405 |
| $850,000 (Fort Lauderdale waterfront) | $25,500 | $3,595 | +$21,905 |
| $1,200,000 (Parkland estate) | $36,000 | $3,595 | +$32,405 |
The price-point labels are illustrative property types, not specific listings. The savings figures are pure arithmetic: 3% of sale price minus $3,595.
On a $600K Broward listing, a flat $3,595 leaves $14,405 more equity in the seller's pocket than a 3% listing-side commission. On a $1.2M listing, the gap is over $32,000. The flat fee does not scale with the home's price — that is the entire idea.
Where the savings come from
The flat fee model works for three reasons:
- The fee is structured around the listing-side work that has to be done, not the home's price
- The model uses a streamlined process — video call consultation, dedicated listing line, in-person showings handled by buyer agents, on-site service partners for photography — that reduces overhead
- The MLS reach, syndication, and broker-led negotiation are the same regardless of sale price, so there is no operational reason for the fee to scale
The savings are not coming from a reduced scope of service. Every Broward listing gets the same Florida-licensed broker, the same Beaches MLS posting, the same syndication to Zillow, Realtor.com, and other syndicated real estate websites, and the same closing support.
What you still pay outside the flat fee
To keep the math honest, here is what is not in the $3,595:
- Buyer-agent compensation — if you choose to offer it. Paid at closing from the proceeds of sale. This applies regardless of which brokerage lists your home. See our buyer-agent compensation article for how to think about the right amount.
- Title, escrow, and closing-related third-party fees — paid as normal at closing
- HOA estoppel certificates and association transfer fees — standard for any Broward listing in an HOA community
- Pre-listing repairs or staging — if you choose to do them
