How Much Does It Really Cost to Sell a Home in Tampa?
If you’re thinking about selling your home in Tampa, one of your first questions is likely: “How much will it cost me?” For decades, traditional agents have charged sellers 5–6% of the home’s price in commission. On a $400,000 home, that’s around $24,000 — money coming straight out of your equity.
At The Blackburns, we believe it doesn’t have to be that way. We’re changing the game for Tampa homeowners with a flat $3,500 listing fee — full service, no hidden fees, and massive savings.
The Average Cost of Selling a Home in Tampa
According to local market data, the median home price in Tampa is around $400,000. At a 6% commission, sellers are paying close to $24,000 in fees just to list and sell their home.
That’s money that could go toward your next down payment, paying off debt, or investing in your family’s future.
The Blackburns’ Flat Fee Advantage
Instead of taking a percentage of your hard-earned equity, we charge a flat $3,500 listing fee. Whether your home is worth $200,000 or $2 million, you pay the same.
Here’s what’s included:
MLS listing & distribution to hundreds of sites
Professional photography and drone video
Social media and digital ads
Open houses and signage
Contract negotiations and closing support
All the same services you’d expect from a “luxury” agent — but without the luxury price tag.
Real Numbers: $3,500 vs. 6% Commission
$400,000 home with a traditional 6% agent → $24,000 in commission
$400,000 home with The Blackburns → $3,500 flat fee
That’s a savings of $20,500.
