The biggest variable: listing-side commission in Miami Gardens
The single largest variable in what you pay to sell a Miami Gardens home is the listing-side commission. Traditional listing agents in Florida charge 2.5–3%, which on a $530,000 home equals $13,250–$15,900. This fee is paid at closing from your proceeds. You never write a check, but it comes directly out of what you keep. Flat fee MLS replaces this with a $99 upfront fee and zero closing fees on Basic and Premium packages.
What selling actually costs in Miami Gardens today
Miami Gardens's median asking price is $530,000 as of September 2026. At the traditional 3% listing side, that is $15,900 out of the proceeds before you pay for anything else, title, taxes, repairs or the buyer agent's share. 14 Miami Gardens homes closed that month at a median of $490,000, so these are the prices the percentage is actually taken from, not an estimate. A flat fee listing replaces that percentage with $99, and the rest of the closing costs behave exactly the same either way.
Buyer-agent commission: still optional after 2024 NAR settlement
After the August 2024 NAR settlement, Florida sellers are no longer required to offer buyer-agent compensation on the MLS. However, most Miami Gardens sellers still offer 2–2.5% to attract buyer agents and maximize offers. On a $530,000 home, that's $10,600–$13,250 paid at closing. This cost applies whether you use a traditional agent or flat fee MLS.
Florida closing costs for Miami Gardens sellers
Beyond commissions, Florida sellers typically pay: documentary stamp tax ($0.70 per $100 of sale price, $3,710 on a $530,000 home), title insurance (varies by county, sellers pay in most South Florida counties), settlement/closing fee ($400–$800), and prorated property taxes. Non-commission closing costs typically run $5,300–$10,600 on a $530,000 Miami Gardens home.
Where a Miami Gardens listing actually reaches
A Miami Gardens listing reaches buyer agents through the Miami MLS. That is the database an agent searches for a client who has asked about Andover, Bunche Park, Carol City, Norland, Lake Lucerne, Highland Park, Scott Lake, Scott-Carver, Miami Gardens Golf and NW 27 Avenue corridor. A listing that is not on it is invisible to every one of those searches, whatever else it is advertised on. Buyers looking at Miami Gardens frequently look at Opa-locka, North Miami and North Miami Beach in the same week, so the comparison a buyer agent runs is rarely one city wide.
