What you'd keepExample: a $325,000 Lakeland home

On a $325,000 Lakeland home, listing-side commission only:

Buyer's agent pay is separate in every case and negotiated with the buyer.

Doc stamps: Florida charges documentary stamp tax on the deed at $0.70 per $100 of the sale price (Miami-Dade single-family homes use $0.60). On a $325,000 sale that is $2,275. In most of Florida the seller customarily pays it, but it is negotiable in the contract.

Flood disclosureRequired for every Florida home sale since October 1, 2025

Flood disclosure: Since October 1, 2025, Florida law (s. 689.302, Fla. Stat.) requires the seller of a home to give the buyer a written flood disclosure at or before the time the contract is signed. It asks whether you know of flooding that damaged the property while you owned it, whether you filed a flood insurance claim (including NFIP), and whether you received flood-damage assistance such as FEMA aid. With our $79 and $299 packages you complete it yourself; with A-Go-Go we walk you through it.
