On the MLS
Why Lixtara
Three things you keep.
More of your sale stays with you
Instead of the usual 3% to the listing agent, you pay a flat fee plus 0.5 to 1.5% at closing, only if your home sells. You keep the difference.
Licensed brokerage on your side
Anamaria and her FL-licensed team handle contracts, disclosures, and the legal mechanics. You're never alone.
On the MLS and every major site
Your home goes on the MLS, the system agents across Florida use to find homes for their buyers. From there it's syndicated to portals like Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin and Trulia. The same buyer pool a traditional 6% agent gets you.
How it works
From plan to closed.

Find your plan
Match your plan.
Two quick questions. We'll point you to the tier that fits, and you can still pick anything on the listing form.
Radical transparency
See your savings.
Move the slider to your home's expected sale price and choose the buyer-agent compensation you'd offer. We compare a traditional listing agent (3%) with each Lixtara plan, dollar for dollar, with the same buyer-agent compensation on both sides.
You choose it, and 0% is allowed. It's separate from the Lixtara commission and always negotiable.
Upfront = only Lixtara's flat fee. The commission is paid only if your home sells.

How to read this table
Upfront costs are paid when you list, and with Lixtara that's only the flat fee. Commissions come out of your sale proceeds at closing, and only if your home sells. The traditional column is a listing agent at 3%, who usually includes photos and documents. The buyer's agent compensation you choose (from 0%) is applied to both columns, so your savings come only from the listing side. Every Lixtara plan includes your MLS listing, syndication to portals like Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin and Trulia, and DocuSign contracts. On Essentials you take your own photos with our smartphone guide, while Pro and Concierge include a professional photographer. Other closing costs (title, taxes, recording fees) are not shown here.

Frequently asked
Plainly answered.
- What is Lixtara?
- Lixtara is a licensed Florida flat-fee real estate brokerage (Lic #CQ1075352). You sell your home for a flat fee plus a low commission paid only if it sells. Your listing is published on the MLS and syndicated to portals like Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin and Trulia, with a licensed broker behind you and without the traditional 6%.
- How much do I pay in total?
- Up to three parts, and only the first is paid upfront. Lixtara charges a flat fee when you list ($199 Essentials, $495 Pro, $995 Concierge) and the Lixtara commission at closing, only if your home sells (0.5%, 1% or 1.5% of the sale price, depending on your plan). On top of that, buyer's agent compensation, only if you choose to offer it: it's separate from the Lixtara commission and can be 0%. Third-party closing costs (title, escrow and transfer taxes) are the same with any brokerage.
- How is Lixtara different from a traditional 6% agent?
- The typical 6% is 3% for the seller's side plus 3% for the buyer's side. A traditional listing agent charges about 3% for the listing side. Lixtara's Pro plan charges $495 flat plus 1% at closing, only if your home sells. Example on a $500,000 home, offering the buyer's agent 2.5% in both cases: $27,500 with a traditional agent versus $17,995 with Lixtara Pro, so you keep $9,505. Buyer's agent compensation is separate from both, and you decide whether to offer it. Your home goes on the same MLS and the same sites, with licensed broker support.
- Which plan should I pick?
- Every plan puts your home on the MLS and its partner sites. Essentials fits sellers comfortable taking their own photos and running the sale from their dashboard. Pro adds professional photography, a 30 minute broker strategy call, and a dedicated listing coordinator. Concierge is full service: premium photography with drone, your dedicated broker, Anamaria Velasquez, 7 days a week, negotiation and transaction management through closing, and unlimited Realtor consultations.
- Is Lixtara a licensed brokerage?
- Yes. Lixtara is a licensed Florida real estate brokerage (Lic #CQ1075352). All transactions are supervised by our licensed broker-of-record in compliance with Florida Statute 475 and FAR/BAR contracts.
- Do I have to offer compensation to the buyer's agent?
- No. It's your decision, and 0% is a valid choice. Lixtara will communicate and document offers of compensation to a buyer's broker of up to 3% of the purchase price, as directed by the seller. The seller may agree to pay a higher amount directly with the buyer's broker; Lixtara will not prevent or discourage it. Compensation is negotiable, not set by law, and never published on the MLS. Many buyers work with an agent they've agreed in writing to pay. If you don't offer compensation, the buyer can pay their agent directly or ask you to cover it as part of their offer. It's up to you whether to accept. Offering compensation can make your property more attractive to agents who work with buyers.
- Why doesn't the buyer's agent compensation appear on the MLS?
- Since 2024, MLS rules don't allow offers of compensation to buyer's agents to be published on the MLS. If you choose to offer it, we share it directly with the agents who ask for it, and it's put in writing.
- When is my property published?
- We publish your property on the MLS within 2 business days once your agreement is signed and we have your complete photos, details and documents. Before that, the broker reviews your listing. From the MLS your home is syndicated to portals like Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin and Trulia; each portal decides when and how it shows it.
- Do I get my money back if I change my mind?
- The flat fee is charged whether or not your home sells. The flat fee is non-refundable once your property is published on the MLS. You get a full refund if the broker doesn't approve your listing or it can't be published, if you were charged twice or because of a technical error, or if you cancel before it's published. You can end your listing agreement at any time, at no charge. The Lixtara commission is due only if a sale closes, and it's paid at closing.
- What if my home doesn't sell?
- Your listing has a defined expiration date of up to 24 months. The Lixtara commission only applies if your property sells. You can end your listing agreement at any time, at no charge, by writing to us. After it ends, the commission is due only if, within 90 days, you sell to a buyer who toured your home or made a written offer during the agreement and whom we named to you in writing within 10 days after it ended, and only if that sale closes.
- Does Lixtara give legal advice?
- No. Lixtara is a real estate brokerage, not a law firm, and no plan includes a lawyer. If you need one, we'll refer you to an independent Florida real estate attorney. You hire and pay the law firm directly, and Lixtara receives nothing for the referral. You're free to choose any attorney.
- Can I see properties before they hit the MLS?
- No. Lixtara doesn't offer access to properties before they're on the MLS. Our listings are published on the MLS for everyone at the same time. If you're buying, the broker can help you as soon as a property is published.
