We love our listing agreement. We’ve been doing this for 20 years—we know how it goes.

  • 18 days of MLS marketing
  • Price consultation at signup
  • Day-17 price review if you are not under contract
  • Track showings, buyer feedback and offers
  • Keith’s FAR/BAR Offer & Contract Checker. Preloaded guidance for the contract’s fillable blanks—a reference tool that does not edit or analyze your offer.
  • Professional transaction coordination. You negotiate; our team prepares the agreed contract and applicable addenda for an unrepresented buyer, gathers applicable disclosures and routes the package to all parties for electronic signature. Buyer-agent offers are checked for completeness rather than rewritten. Your $1,295 closing fee includes professional coordination of paperwork, deposits, deadlines and closing logistics—whichever party brings the offer. Coordination is not insurance or a guarantee of closing; inspections, financing and other contingencies can still affect the sale. Read about inspections & 4-point reports +

If the response shows that selling now does not fit your needs, stop and use what you learned to decide your next move.

Why $199? Putting a listing on the MLS costs us about $200 in onboarding, MLS entry and support. Your $49 covers part of it.

The $199 is additional to your $49. It applies if you cancel before day 18, or if you are not under contract by day 18 and do not continue with Hybrid coaching or Pro.Review cancellation terms →

No automatic enrollment. Choose and authorize your next service. Continuing with Hybrid coaching or Pro avoids the $199 end-of-test cancellation fee. Each plan’s terms apply.

How these examples work

Day 1 starts your test. Hybrid coaching starts on day 19 in these examples. Monthly charges renew on the same calendar date: the first two months ($198) are charged on day 19, and a third $99 month by day 80. Canceling within the first two months adds nothing more.

Sale examples assume closing—not simply accepting an offer—on the stated day, with the subscription ending then. If you sign a contract during the test but close later, your service order and listing agreement determine the applicable fee.

Selling or authorizing Hybrid coaching or Pro avoids the $199 end-of-test cancellation fee. If you stop without continuing, MLS marketing ends after the test; it does not keep running to day 20 or day 80. Cancellation during the initial test is subject to your agreement.

Optional photos, drone photos, lockbox and yard sign cost extra. A CMA is free when you continue with Hybrid coaching. Amounts already paid are included in totals, not charged again. Pro replaces the applicable flat-fee closing success fee; its own six-month term, notice and photography reimbursement terms apply.

TEST THE WATERS · QUICK ANSWERS

Know what you’re starting.

Do you provide contracts, addenda, HOA, flood, seller’s disclosure and other required forms?

We provide commonly used Florida real estate contracts, forms and addenda, including applicable seller’s disclosure, flood, HOA, condominium and lead-based paint forms. The documents needed depend on the property and transaction. Do not assume a buyer’s agent’s offer includes every required disclosure or addendum.

You supply the property facts and association records. The seller completes the seller’s disclosure accurately and provides applicable HOA or condominium records from their files or association. Our forms library does not replace those records. For a condo, these may include governing documents, budget and financial information, and applicable inspection and reserve-study documents. Other property-specific documents may also be needed.

With Contract to Close coordination: after you negotiate the terms, our team prepares the agreed paperwork for an unrepresented buyer using supported forms, checks document completeness, coordinates signatures and tracks the contract through closing. If a buyer’s agent prepares the offer, we coordinate missing information and documents rather than write a replacement offer. You negotiate; we coordinate.

Supported contracts only. Our coordinators work with Florida Realtors/Florida Bar contracts and authorized Florida Realtors or local-board forms, such as NEFAR, NABOR and Tallahassee board contracts, subject to current availability and our authorization to use them. We do not prepare or provide contract guidance on AI-generated, privately drafted or other unsupported agreements.

As a brokerage, we work within our professional scope and the permitted use of each form. Florida Realtors Legal Hotline guidance does not replace your own attorney’s advice, and a form’s copyright holder controls its authorized use. If your transaction requires a custom contract, unsupported form or legal interpretation, use a Florida real estate attorney.

What does my $49 include?

One 18-day MLS market test for a for-sale home or lot, a price consultation at signup and another on day 17 if your home is not yet under contract, pricing tools and ShowingBee scheduling. Optional photography is separate.

What do I pay if I go under contract during the test?

The Contract to Close fee is $1,295 at closing, whenever the sale closes, including your personal transaction coordinator. No monthly coaching fees apply. It replaces the success fee; there is no additional $499 charge. The $49 entry fee and optional purchases are separate.

What happens after 18 days?

If you are not under contract, reevaluate: cancel and pay the $199 cancellation fee; continue Hybrid coaching at $99/month with a two-month minimum and a free CMA, then $499 at closing, or $1,295 including transaction coordination; or choose Pro at $0 to start and 1.5% at closing ($4,500 minimum), with what you’ve paid credited if you switch within 60 days. No automatic enrollment. Each continuing plan has its own terms.

What if I stop instead of continuing?

A $199 cancellation fee applies if you cancel before day 18, or if you are not under contract by day 18 and do not continue with Hybrid coaching or Pro. Including your $49 entry, that is $248; optional photography is separate.

Do I negotiate with buyers myself?

Yes. Test the Waters is a self-represented flat-fee MLS plan. You decide your asking price and negotiate offers and contract terms.

Are professional photos required?

You can upload your own suitable photos or order 50 professional photos for $249, with drone photos available for an additional $50. Upload delivered photos to your control panel, or our team can do it for you.

Use only photos you own or paid for. Photos from a prior listing or a past photographer usually belong to someone else, and copyright claims can be costly. Before photos go live, you confirm you took them or upload the receipt and the photographer’s permission.

What the listing agreement says +

Photos, Content, and Copyright. Copyright claims are federal claims. A copyright owner, often a photographer from a prior listing, may seek statutory damages of up to $150,000 per work for willful infringement, plus attorney’s fees, and claims against brokers can exceed $50,000. Seller agrees:

  • Only content Seller owns or paid for: photos, video, virtual tours, floor plans and descriptions Seller personally created, or purchased with the written right to use them to market the property, shown by a paid receipt and the creator’s written permission. No photos from a prior listing, a prior listing photographer, a builder or any website, and no text from another listing, without that receipt and permission.
  • Proof before publishing: before content is published, Seller certifies that Seller created it or uploads the receipt and written permission. The broker may request proof at any time and may remove content, or withdraw the listing, if proof is not provided.
  • Defend and indemnify: Seller will defend TruPropio, LLC and its broker, agents, employees and affiliates, with legal counsel paid by Seller, against any third-party claim that Seller’s content infringes a copyright, and will pay resulting damages, settlements, judgments, MLS fines, attorney’s fees and costs.
  • Survival: these obligations continue after the listing is withdrawn and the agreement ends.

FROM OFFER TO CLOSING

Protecting Your Deal: Contracts & Inspections

Look beyond the price. Understand the offer terms, deadlines and inspection hurdles so you can make informed decisions through closing.

1. FAR/BAR contract termsFinancing deadlines · deposits · permit obligations

Understand what you’re agreeing to before you sign. Keith looks beyond the offer price to the deadlines, obligations and deposit that determine how the sale can unfold.

01 / FINANCING

Loan approval due on closing day?

That can leave financing uncertainty unresolved until the finish line. Consider a realistic approval deadline before closing, confirmed with the lender, so there is time to address problems.

The deposit is not automatically “always refundable.” Buyer diligence, timely written notices, the precise contingency and other contract provisions determine the result. Missing a notice deadline can change financing protection. Review approval, appraisal, termination and closing dates together.

02 / PERMITS & UNPERMITTED WORK

Read the extra promises.

Additional terms may require the seller, at the seller’s expense, to close open or expired permits—or remediate unpermitted work. That can add obligations beyond the AS IS form’s standard cooperation provision.

Don’t assume either promise is routine or affordable. A permit may qualify for administrative closure; another may require inspections, plans, engineering, corrective work and time. Unpermitted work may be capable of after-the-fact permitting, but feasibility and cost depend on the municipality and work involved. Confirm the scope, cost and deadline before agreeing. Lender and title requirements vary; an open permit is not a universal prohibition on closing.

03 / ESCROW

How much commitment is behind the offer?

A small deposit can provide less financial protection if the buyer defaults. Review the initial amount, due date, any second deposit and the contract’s remedies—not just the headline price.

A low deposit does not give a buyer permission to walk away. Contingencies and default provisions control the parties’ rights. More escrow does not eliminate valid cancellation rights, and a dispute may require legal advice.

Reference: Florida Realtors financing-contingency guidance. Contract versions, completed blanks and signed addenda matter.

2. Inspections & 4-point reportsRoof · electrical · plumbing · insurance hurdles

A pre-listing 4-point inspection can help you spot insurance obstacles early. A satisfactory report can reduce surprises, but it does not replace a full home inspection or guarantee insurance, financing or a concession-free sale.

Consider a 4-point inspection before listing · Keith Gordon · 2:52

What does a 4-point inspection cover?

Roof, electrical, plumbing and heating/air conditioning. Insurers may request it, particularly for older homes, to assess system condition and visible hazards. The insurer makes the coverage decision. Lenders usually require acceptable property insurance; specific inspection and repair requirements depend on the lender, loan program and property.

Roof: condition and remaining life matter.

A shingle roof is not automatically unacceptable at 12–15 years. Florida law limits refusals based solely on roof age: for roofs at least 15 years old, an authorized inspection showing five or more years of useful life can protect against an age-only denial. Damage, leaks and other underwriting issues still matter. Obtain a qualified roof assessment and confirm coverage with the insurance agent.

Electrical: identify the actual hazard.

Cloth wiring, active knob-and-tube, exposed or loose wiring, improper grounding and panel deficiencies can raise concerns. Older panels—including Federal Pacific, Zinsco, Challenger or Pushmatic/Bulldog—deserve evaluation of the specific model and condition by a licensed electrician and the insurer. A brand name alone is not a universal pass/fail rule. Get a written scope and estimate before promising repairs.

Plumbing, septic and HVAC.

Polybutylene, aging drain lines, leaks or corrosion may affect insurance or negotiations. Repair needs depend on the material, condition and insurer. Septic evaluation is separate: some Florida locations require enhanced nutrient-reducing systems for specified installations or repairs—not every property statewide. Verify requirements with the permitting authority. Heating and cooling defects, unsafe installations and condensate leaks can also affect approval; a system merely turning on is not the whole assessment.

Financing, assistance programs and WDO.

A buyer using down-payment assistance may need approval from both the primary lender and the assistance program. Ask early about property standards, repair conditions and deadlines. Wood-destroying-organism or insect inspections and treatment may be requested depending on the property, loan and program. Confirm whether treatment, damaged-wood repair and a follow-up report are needed.

Radon: test, then assess the result.

Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas and the second leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S. EPA recommends mitigation at 4 pCi/L or higher and considering it between 2 and 4 pCi/L. Testing and mitigation are separate from a 4-point report. A qualified specialist determines the appropriate system, which may use sub-slab depressurization, ventilation or other methods. Obtain property-specific quotes; testing, payment and repair obligations depend on the agreement and applicable requirements.

Find the issue. Price the remedy. Negotiate the path.

Depending on the signed contract and approvals, options may include licensed repairs, documented reinspection, a revised deadline or a negotiated concession. A credit alone may not solve an insurance or lender condition. Get written confirmation before relying on a proposed solution.

You negotiate under a self-represented plan; your coordinator tracks the agreed paperwork and deadlines. With Pro, Keith’s team also advises and negotiates for you. Report known issues accurately and keep inspection reports, permits, estimates and repair records available.

Homeowners want to be heard.

Fierce Guardian distills 40 years and 6,000 transactions into a conviction: seasoned negotiation and genuine compassion must go hand in hand to protect a seller’s home, equity and peace of mind.
