Zack is licensed in Florida (FL SL3584718) and lists through Dalton Wade Real Estate Group in St. Petersburg. He handles the full listing: pricing, photography, MLS exposure, showings, negotiation and the path to closing. The listing fee is 1% of the sale price plus a $400 transaction fee. For a seller, that is the difference between paying a traditional listing commission and keeping more of the proceeds.
Zack works with sellers across Pinellas County, including Gulfport and the communities around it. You can read what past clients say on the reviews page. Review the 1% plan in detail on the sell for 1% page, or see the main Florida page.
According to Redfin's Gulfport housing market page (data for August 2026):
Median sale price is up 11.3% year over year. Monthly medians can swing with a handful of sales, especially in a small beach town, so treat them as a guide. Zack builds a list price from recent comparable Gulfport closings, not from a number you hope to see.
For context, the U.S. Census Bureau reports a 74.2% owner-occupied housing rate and a median owner-occupied home value of $366,200 for Gulfport in its 2020-2024 estimates. That is a survey-based figure across all owner-occupied homes, not a price for a specific house.
Areas buyers recognize include Downtown Gulfport, Beach Boulevard, and Maximo. Gulfport covers about 2.77 square miles, and buyers often shop by location, so Zack looks at comparable sales in your part of Gulfport first, then widens the search.
Gulfport Casino, built in 1930, has a 5,000 sq ft waterfront ballroom dance floor. Downtown has several art galleries and the Catherine A. Hickman Theater.
A pricing recommendation based on comparable Gulfport and nearby sales. Professional photography and a written listing description. MLS entry through Stellar MLS and syndication to the major home search sites. Showing coordination and open houses when they make sense. Offer review, negotiation and counteroffers. Coordination with the title company through contract and closing.
The 1% is the listing-side fee only. Compensation for a buyer's agent is separate and negotiable. The $400 transaction fee applies. Commissions and fees are negotiable and are not set by law.

Listing fee: With Zack, the listing fee is 1% plus a $400 transaction fee. On a $400,000 sale, that is $4,000 plus $400, or $4,400. The 1% is the listing-side fee only; compensation for a buyer's agent is separate and negotiable, and all fees are negotiable.
Documentary stamp tax: Florida charges documentary stamp tax on deeds at 70 cents per $100 of the sale price under Florida Statutes section 201.02. The statute sets the tax; the contract decides who pays it, and in most sales the seller does.
Title insurance: In Pinellas County the seller customarily pays for the buyer's owner's title policy and often picks the closing agent. That is custom, not law, and it is negotiable in your contract.
The $400,000 figure is illustrative, not a prediction of your sale price. You also pay any mortgage payoff, prorated property taxes and any HOA or condo fees due at closing, and you may negotiate repairs. Confirm current figures with your title company before you sign.
Under the Florida Supreme Court's decision in Johnson v. Davis, a residential seller must tell the buyer about known facts that materially affect the value of the home and are not readily observable or already known to the buyer. FEMA Flood Insurance Rate Maps mark high-risk zones labeled A or V, and Pinellas County states that federal flood insurance requirements are based only on the FEMA FIRM, not county flood maps. Pinellas homestead gives a primary residence a $50,000 reduction in assessed value, and the annual increase in assessed value for homesteaded property is capped at the lower of inflation or 3%; a buyer's taxes may look different from yours after the sale. Ask your title company and the Pinellas County Property Appraiser what applies to your sale.

Redfin reported a median sale price of $399,735, a median of 71 days on market and 92 homes sold in Gulfport for August 2026. Individual homes vary by price, condition, flood zone and location, so a median is a guide and not a promise.

You also pay any mortgage payoff and prorated taxes. Buyer's agent compensation is separate and negotiable, and all fees are negotiable.
