A Smarter Listing Model

Save on the Listing Fee Without Giving Up Representation

Selling a home involves far more than entering an address into the MLS. Pricing, presentation, buyer communication, negotiation, inspection strategy, and transaction management can all affect the final outcome.

01

Strategic Pricing

Comparable-sales analysis, current competition, market absorption, and positioning designed to attract buyers without unnecessarily leaving money on the table.

02

Professional Presentation

Professional photography, accurate property details, elevated marketing copy, and a disciplined launch strategy designed to create a strong first impression.

03

Maximum Exposure

MLS placement, syndication to participating consumer websites, direct digital marketing, buyer outreach, and strategic market visibility.

04

Experienced Negotiation

Representation through offers, inspections, appraisal issues, contingencies, deadlines, and material decisions through closing.

Service Comparison

Everything Expected From Full Service—At a More Efficient Fee

The distinction is not simply access to the MLS. It is the level of strategy, presentation, negotiation, communication, and transaction oversight delivered throughout the sale.

Why DeCaro Brothers

Experience That Protects Your Position

Online exposure matters, but exposure alone does not determine the result. Asking price, property presentation, contract terms, inspection strategy, and appraisal response can materially affect what a seller ultimately keeps.

Multi-Disciplinary Experience

Built on More Than Traditional Brokerage

Residential Sales: Hands-on guidance through pricing, marketing, negotiation, and closing.
Broker Price Opinions: Extensive valuation experience supporting informed market-position decisions.
REO & Distressed Assets: Experience with condition, repair, occupancy, preservation, and complicated transactions.
Real Estate Investing: An ownership perspective that helps evaluate improvements, buyer objections, and return on cost.

Step 02

Pricing & Preparation

We analyze the market, recommend positioning, and prepare the property for launch.

Step 03

Marketing & Negotiation

We launch the listing, coordinate activity, communicate feedback, and negotiate offers.

Step 04

Contract to Closing

We manage inspections, appraisal, deadlines, communication, and closing coordination.

Frequently Asked Questions

Understanding the 1% Listing Program

Is the 1% listing program actually full service?

Yes. The program includes pricing guidance, professional listing preparation, MLS exposure, marketing, showing coordination, offer negotiation, inspection and appraisal support, and transaction coordination through closing.

What does the 1% fee cover?

The 1% fee covers the listing brokerage’s services under the listing agreement. A separate $400 transaction fee applies and is disclosed before you sign.

Is buyer broker compensation included?

No. Any buyer broker compensation or buyer concessions are separate from the listing fee, negotiable, and determined by the seller based on the property’s strategy and transaction circumstances.

Will my home appear on major real estate websites?

The property is entered into the applicable MLS and may be syndicated to participating consumer websites according to MLS feeds and each website’s display policies.

How is this different from a flat-fee or entry-only MLS listing?

Entry-only programs commonly provide MLS access while leaving pricing, photography, showing management, negotiation, and transaction work to the seller or charging separately for support. Our 1% program is designed as full-service representation.

Where is the program available?

Availability depends on the property location, applicable brokerage affiliation, licensing, and listing eligibility. DeCaro Brothers serves Connecticut and Massachusetts (where Zack and Nick are licensed brokers/agents), and select markets in Rhode Island, Westchester & Rockland counties in New York, and Pinellas, Hillsborough & Pasco counties in Florida.
