About

A modern, full-service way to list your Florida home for 1%

We pair licensed brokerage expertise with technology to deliver premium, remote listing services at a fraction of the typical fee.

We are a licensed Florida real estate brokerage built on a simple idea: sellers deserve full-service listing services without paying a premium fee. Our platform lists Florida homes for a 1% listing fee, delivering everything you'd expect from a traditional agent, MLS syndication, professional photography, drone aerials, AI-assisted pricing guidance, contract negotiation, inspection and closing coordination, and seller support throughout, all delivered remotely.

We serve sellers across Central and Southwest Florida, from the Tampa Bay area and the Suncoast down through Southwest Florida and into Central Florida. Our service is designed for homeowners with properties priced at $300,000 or above who want to keep more of their equity without sacrificing professional services. Whether you're listing a primary residence, a relocation property, or an investment home, our remote-first model brings the same full-service experience to every client.

What makes this possible is technology. AI tools, digital documents, and remote communication replace unnecessary in-person travel, lowering overhead without cutting corners. We ship a lockbox to your door, schedule local professionals for photos and drone on your behalf, and manage every showing remotely. AI assists with marketing and data; licensed professionals handle pricing, negotiations, and transaction management.

Our mission is to bring transparency, efficiency, and real savings to Florida sellers with no hidden upsells.

How our remote model works for sellers

A remote real estate broker uses digital systems, local market data, phone and video communication, electronic signatures, and coordinated vendor services to represent sellers efficiently across Florida. The service is remote in its operating model, not remote from the transaction.

For sellers, that means the work is organized around the steps that affect both exposure and net proceeds. Your property needs professional marketing, broad buyer visibility, responsive showing coordination, and experienced support when an offer arrives. Those needs do not disappear because documents can be signed electronically or because a broker is not maintaining a costly storefront near the property.

Florida is especially well suited to this model. Buyers often begin their search online, including buyers relocating from another state or purchasing a second home. A listing must be accurately priced, professionally presented, and distributed where qualified buyers and their agents are looking. Technology helps accomplish that quickly, while licensed broker guidance keeps the sale grounded in the details of the property and the contract.
