- Start with a free home valuation. Use our free home valuation or call (954) 342-6180. A valuation is a starting estimate. We review recent nearby sales and your home's condition before suggesting a list price.
- Meet and walk the property. We walk through the home with you, note repairs and updates worth doing before photos, and talk through your timeline and goals.
- Agree on pricing and the listing agreement. Pricing is a decision we make together using comparable sales. The listing agreement states the commission and any fees in writing. Ask for every cost to be listed before you sign.
- Prepare the home and the paperwork. Clean, declutter, fix what matters, and gather the documents in the checklist below. Photography and marketing follow once the home is ready.
- Go live on the MLS and market the home. The home is entered in the MLS so it can appear across the major home search sites. We handle showings, questions and feedback.
- Review offers, negotiate and close. We help you compare offers on price, terms and timing, negotiate, and follow the contract through inspection, appraisal and closing with the title or closing agent.
What to gather before you list
- Proof of ownership and the property address as it appears on your deed or tax record
- Your mortgage lender and an estimate of the payoff, if you have a loan
- HOA or condo association contact details and any recent assessment notices, if applicable
- A list of repairs, roof, air conditioning, plumbing and electrical work, and any permits you know about
- Anything you know about past water intrusion, flooding or insurance claims
- Keys, remotes, gate codes and any warranties or manuals you want to pass on

Listing a house in Fort Lauderdale: common questions
How do I list my house for sale in Fort Lauderdale?
You hire a licensed real estate broker or agent under a written listing agreement, agree on a list price, prepare the home, and have it entered in the MLS. The Home Owners Listing Team can start with a free home valuation and walk you through each step.
How much does it cost to list my house?
Costs vary by home and by the agreement you sign. Typical categories are the listing agent's commission or fee, closing costs, any repairs or preparation, and prorated taxes and association fees. Commission is negotiated and is not set by Florida law. Ask for a written estimate of all costs before you sign a listing agreement.
What documents do I need to list my house?
Plan to have your ownership details, mortgage payoff information if you have a loan, HOA or condo documents if they apply, and a list of repairs and permits you know about. Florida sellers must disclose known facts that materially affect a home's value and that a buyer could not easily see for themselves. This page is general information, not legal advice; ask a Florida real estate attorney or your title company about your situation.
Should I get a home valuation before I list?
Yes. A valuation shows where your home may fit among recent nearby sales, and it helps you decide whether to list now, make repairs first, or wait. Our valuation is free and does not obligate you to list.
Do you list homes outside Fort Lauderdale?
Yes. We also work with sellers in Wilton Manors, Oakland Park, Pompano Beach, Plantation, Davie and Hollywood, and across Broward, Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties. See the city pages linked below.
