Does NBB Offer Exclusive Right-to-Sell Agreements? YES!
How does it Work?
- We Charge 2%, 180-Day Contract
- We pay for your buyer’s title insurance
- You choose your co-broke (buyer’s agent commission)
- 2% co-broke if we secure buyer
- We market your home nationally

- YOU select pricing strategy
- We negotiate on your behalf
- App, SMS or phone showing approvals/schedules
- Industry sources describe it as the conventional, most common, or traditional form of listing agreement in Florida and nationally, especially for MLS-listed properties (which cover the vast majority of agent-assisted sales).
- Exclusive right to sell is the default agreement referenced in Florida Realtors® forms (e.g., ERS series agreements), MLS rules, and standard practices. Other types—like exclusive agency (where the seller can avoid commission if they find the buyer themselves), open listings, or limited-service—are much less common.
- Nationally, NAR data shows that about 90% of sellers use a real estate agent (with FSBO sales at ~6-10%), and among agent-assisted sales, exclusive right to sell is the predominant agreement type referenced in profiles and guides.
- In Florida-specific contexts (e.g., commission discussions, closing cost calculators, and legal glossaries), references almost always assume or default to exclusive right to sell for traditional agent representation, with commissions (typically 5-6%) tied to it.
Does NBB Offer Open Listings? YES!
How does it Work?
- We Charge $500 upfront and 2% at closing
- 180-day Contract, $0 Cancellation Fee
- We pay for your buyer’s title insurance if we procure the buyer or buyer’s agent
- We market your home nationally
- Drone and Interior Videography
- One Open House/Month (optional)
- YOU select pricing strategy
- We negotiate on your behalf
- App, SMS or phone showing approvals/schedules
- The seller authorizes multiple brokers (or any number of them) to market and show the property simultaneously.
- Commission is paid only to the broker who is the procuring cause of the sale—meaning the one who actually finds and brings the ready, willing, and able buyer that results in a successful closing.
- If the seller finds a buyer independently (without any broker’s involvement), no commission is owed to any broker.
- The seller retains full control and can work with as many agents as desired, or sell the property themselves without obligation.
- Brokers have no guaranteed commission, which makes open listings less attractive to most agents (they invest time and marketing effort with no assurance of payment).

For Sale By Owner (FSBO) in Florida means the homeowner sells their property directly to a buyer without hiring a listing real estate agent or broker. This approach is fully legal in the state, and many homeowners choose it to avoid paying the traditional listing-side commission (typically 2.5–3% of the sale price).How FSBO Works in Florida (Step-by-Step Process)
- Prepare the Home and Research the Market
Clean, stage, and make repairs to make the property appealing. Research comparable sales (comps) via public records, sites like Zillow, Redfin, or county property appraiser websites to set a realistic asking price. - Determine Pricing and Disclosures
Florida law requires sellers to provide a Seller’s Property Disclosure form detailing known material defects (e.g., roof issues, past flooding, mold, structural problems, or insurance claims history—especially important in hurricane-prone Florida). Federal rules also mandate lead-based paint disclosures for homes built before 1978. Incomplete or inaccurate disclosures can lead to post-sale lawsuits. NBB can assist here. - Market the Property
List on free or low-cost platforms like Zillow (as FSBO), Facebook Marketplace, Craigslist, or ForSaleByOwner.com. Put up a yard sign, take high-quality photos, hire drone operations and video editors if applicable, and possibly host open houses. Some sellers pay for flat-fee MLS entry services (around $100–$500) to get the home into the Multiple Listing Service (MLS), which agents use—though full MLS access often requires agent cooperation. - Handle Inquiries, Showings, and Negotiations
Respond to buyer questions, schedule showings (including safety screening of strangers), and negotiate offers. Buyers often bring their own agents, and you may need to offer buyer-agent compensation (typically 2–3%) to attract serious interest—meaning many FSBO sellers still pay part of a commission. - Enter into Contract and Close
Use a purchase contract (Florida Realtors/Bar forms are standard but restricted; FSBO sellers often hire a real estate attorney or use generic templates). Include contingencies (inspection, financing, appraisal). Work with a title company or closing attorney for escrow, title search, and closing—no lawyer is strictly required, but many FSBO sellers hire one to review docs and avoid errors. - Close the Sale
Transfer title via deed at closing, pay any agreed concessions, and handle prorated taxes/utilities. Florida has no state transfer tax on the seller side beyond documentary stamp taxes.
FSBO Is Challenging for Sellers. While the main appeal is saving on commissions, statistics and expert insights show FSBO often underperforms, especially in Florida’s competitive, weather-risk-influenced market. Recent data. FSBO sales nationally hit an all-time low of ~5% of transactions last year, with 91% of sellers using agents—reflecting growing challenges. Key difficulties include:
- Limited Exposure and Buyer Reach
Without full MLS access, your home misses broad distribution to agents and their buyers (who drive most purchases). FSBO listings often get buried on sites or ignored. - Pricing Errors
Sellers frequently overprice without professional Comparative Market Analysis (CMA), leading to longer time on market or lower final offers. FSBO homes nationally sell for significantly less (e.g., median ~$50,000–$100,000 lower in recent NAR data). - Time and Effort Burden
You handle everything: marketing, showings, paperwork, negotiations. Many find it overwhelming, especially while working full-time or managing family. - Negotiation and Offer Weaknesses
Inexperienced sellers may accept lowball offers, miss contingencies, or struggle with counteroffers—resulting in less net profit. - Legal and Paperwork Risks
Florida’s strict disclosure rules (material defects, flood/insurance history) make mistakes costly—potential lawsuits for nondisclosure. Contracts are complex (20–70+ pages), and errors can derail closings or expose you to liability. - Other Florida-Specific Hurdles
Buyers scrutinize storm readiness, roof age, flood zones, and insurability. FSBO sellers may lack expertise here, and many deals fall apart over inspections or title issues.
Note: Many FSBO attempts fail or lead to hiring an agent later (some reports say 85%+ eventually do), often after months of frustration and a lower sale price. If considering FSBO, consult a real estate attorney early for guidance on forms, disclosures, and risks—especially in Florida’s unique environment. For most, the “savings” evaporate when weighed against time, stress, and potential lost proceeds. Others, often with guidance, can be more successful.
You Sell. WE pay the Title Insurance Premium.
Psst - I have a secret for you: Most sellers in FL purchase TITLE INSURANCE for their buyers out of sales proceeds. The fixed cost is often several thousand dollars in ADDITION to the commisison. Our clients keep that money in their pocket.
How Much Can I Save? Are the fees fixed? What does NBBR do different?
Home title insurance in Florida is calculated based on a regulated, tiered rate structure determined by the property’s purchase price. The cost is a one-time premium, generally calculated at $5.75 per $1,000 for the first $100,000, then $5.00 per $1,000 up to $1 million, with lower rates for higher-valued homes.
In most counties in Florida, the SELLER of the home is expected to traditionally absorb this cost, ensuring their buyer a clean chain of title, free of clouds or encumbrances.
