The biggest variable: listing-side commission in Palm Beach Gardens
The single largest variable in what you pay to sell a Palm Beach Gardens home is the listing-side commission. Traditional listing agents in Florida charge 2.5–3%, which on a $894,000 home equals $22,350–$26,820. 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 Palm Beach Gardens today
Palm Beach Gardens's median asking price is $894,000 as of September 2026. At the traditional 3% listing side, that is $26,820 out of the proceeds before you pay for anything else, title, taxes, repairs or the buyer agent's share. 32 Palm Beach Gardens homes closed that month at a median of $852,500, 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 Palm Beach Gardens sellers still offer 2–2.5% to attract buyer agents and maximize offers. On a $894,000 home, that's $17,880–$22,350 paid at closing. This cost applies whether you use a traditional agent or flat fee MLS.
Florida closing costs for Palm Beach Gardens sellers

Non-commission closing costs typically run $8,940–$17,880 on a $894,000 Palm Beach Gardens home.
Where a Palm Beach Gardens listing actually reaches
A Palm Beach Gardens listing reaches buyer agents through the BeachesMLS. That is the database an agent searches for a client who has asked about BallenIsles, Mirasol, PGA National, Frenchmans Reserve, Old Palm, Evergrene, Eastpointe, San Michele, The Oaks and Magnolia Bay. A listing that is not on it is invisible to every one of those searches, whatever else it is advertised on. Buyers looking at Palm Beach Gardens frequently look at Jupiter, North Palm Beach and West Palm Beach in the same week, so the comparison a buyer agent runs is rarely one city wide.
