Sell Your Home for Just 1% — Full-Service, No Compromises.
Zack DeCaro, a licensed broker in Connecticut and Massachusetts, and Nick DeCaro, a licensed agent in Connecticut and Massachusetts, list homes for a 1% listing fee. Zack also lists in Florida through Dalton Wade Real Estate Group. Every listing gets all 10 full-service items — professional photography, MLS exposure, negotiation, and direct broker-led representation — for a fraction of the traditional listing-side fee.
All real estate commissions and fees are negotiable. The 1% listing fee applies to listing-side representation only — buyer-agent compensation, if offered, is separate and negotiable.

Frequently Asked Questions
1% Listing Program — Common Questions
Is the 1% commission negotiable, or is it fixed?
All real estate commissions and fees are negotiable and are not set by law or by any MLS. The 1% figure reflects our standard full-service listing program, but your specific rate, terms, and eligibility are discussed and agreed upon directly with Zack or Nick before you sign a listing agreement.
Does the 1% fee include buyer-agent compensation?
No. The 1% program applies to listing-side representation only. Buyer-agent compensation, if offered as part of a sale, is separate and negotiable, and is discussed as part of your listing strategy.
What's the difference between this and a flat-fee MLS-only listing?
A flat-fee or entry-only MLS listing typically gets your property onto the MLS and little else — you handle pricing, photography, showings, and negotiation yourself. Our 1% program includes all 10 full-service items: pricing strategy, professional photography, marketing copy, showing coordination, offer and inspection negotiation, appraisal management, and transaction coordination, with Zack or Nick personally involved throughout.
Is there any other fee besides the 1%?
Our program is structured as a 1% listing fee plus a $400 transaction fee, as illustrated in the calculator above. Any additional costs — such as seller concessions or closing costs — are separate, vary by transaction, and are always disclosed and negotiable.
Do I work with a team, or directly with an agent?
You work directly with Zack or Nick DeCaro — individually licensed professionals at Property Works New England, not a rotating team of assistants. Learn more about Zack and Nick.
