Sell a Condo in Sunrise, FL
for $99 — Full MLS Exposure

To sell a condo in Sunrise you need the same MLS a full-service agent uses, and the handful of things that are specific to this kind of property. Selling a Florida condo means navigating HOA approvals, estoppel letters, association document delivery, and lender financing restrictions. Our $99 flat fee MLS listing puts your condo on the same Stellar MLS, BeachesMLS, or Miami MLS as every full-service agent, for a fraction of the cost.

Condo market in Sunrise, FL

Sunrise anchors western Broward County's commercial and entertainment corridor, home to the Sawgrass Mills Mall (one of the largest outlet malls in the world) and the Amerant Bank Arena, making it a hub for both shopping and live events. The residential market spans active adult communities in Sunrise Lakes to newer family developments near the Sawgrass Expressway, with prices well below Plantation and Weston.

Key considerations for selling a Condo in Sunrise

Sell a condo in Sunrise: the local picture

If you are selling here, the address matters less than sellers expect. We list across the whole city, including Sawgrass, Sunrise Lakes, Welleby, Springtree, Bonaventure, Sunrise Golf Village, Sunset Strip, Pine Island and 2 other areas. The fee is the same in all of them, and so is the reach. Each one is searched through the local MLS feed that buyer agents across the region already use. A $99 listing in any Sunrise neighbourhood is in front of the same people a full-service listing would reach.

Sunrise homes are listed through whichever MLS board serves this part of Florida, and which board that is decides which agents see your home at all. It is worth establishing which one covers Sunrise, and that whoever you pay holds active membership in it, before you pay a listing fee. A brokerage without that membership cannot place your listing there, whatever it charges.

Once a listing is live on the local MLS, the mechanics are the same as any other. Buyer agents see it in their daily search. Showing requests arrive through the board or a scheduling service. Offers come on the FAR/BAR contract, with a standard inspection window and a financing contingency if the buyer is borrowing. A title company handles payoff, prorations and disbursement. Florida closings are dry-funded, so the money is confirmed before keys move. None of that changes with the listing fee.

Buyers searching Sunrise are rarely searching only Sunrise. They also have Plantation at $585,000, Tamarac at $370,000, Weston at $880,000 and Lauderhill at $360,000 open. Those asking prices frame how your listing reads. The house across the street matters less than sellers assume. Price above the neighbouring markets and your first photographs have to earn the difference. Price below them and the listing usually moves quickly.

What Sunrise sellers keep at different prices

One worked example makes the saving look like somebody else's. Here it is across the range Sunrise lists in. At $110,000 a 3% commission takes $3,300, and you keep $3,201. Around the local median of $180,000 the gap is $5,301. At $290,000 it is $8,601. At $430,000 the percentage has become $12,900. The work of placing the listing never changed.

That last point is the argument. A percentage scales with your sale price. The work of entering a Sunrise MLS listing does not. The buyer-agent commission stays a separate decision. It stays yours.

The first two weeks decide most of it, whoever lists the home. That is when the listing is new in every saved search. It is when the agents with active buyers look hardest, and when the showings cluster. A price that is close draws traffic in that window. A price that is ten per cent high draws almost none. The usual outcome is a reduction a month later, into a smaller audience than the one available on day one. Reductions also read as a signal. Buyers who watched the first price sit will wait for a second cut. They rarely open at the new one. None of which is about the listing fee, and all of which costs more than the fee ever does.

That second decision is worth thinking about on its own. Most sellers here still offer something to the agent bringing the buyer, because that agent chooses which homes to show. The 2024 settlement changed how it is advertised, not whether it can be offered. You can set it at any figure or change it later. You can offer nothing at all, and accept a smaller pool of showings. What matters is that it is now a number you choose. It is not a percentage bundled into one fee you were quoted at the start.

Sell a condo in Sunrise: what you actually pay at closing

Commission is the line people argue about, and it is not the only line. On a $180,000 Sunrise sale the documentary stamp tax on the deed runs $1,260. It is charged at $0.70 per $100 of price, and in most of Florida the seller pays it. The owner's title insurance policy at the promulgated rate comes to roughly $975. Add a settlement or closing fee, usually a few hundred dollars. Then recording fees, any municipal lien search, and the prorated share of taxes for the part of the year you owned the home.

Those items are largely fixed. They do not move whether a Sunrise listing was placed for $99 through a flat fee listing or for three per cent. That is why they are worth separating from the part you can change. A traditional 3% listing commission on that same sale is $5,400. That single line is larger than every other seller cost on the page put together, several times over. It is also the only one set by who you hire. Statute and the title underwriter's rate card set the rest. That split between the fixed and the negotiable is what sell a condo in Sunrise comes down to.

The buyer-agent side is the other negotiable number, commonly around 2.5% in Sunrise, or about $4,500 here. Since the 2024 settlement it is offered rather than advertised on the MLS. It remains yours to set, reduce or decline. Most sellers still offer something, because the agent bringing a buyer decides which homes get shown. The point is that it is a decision with a number attached. It is not a bundled percentage you inherit when you sign a listing agreement.

What a Sunrise seller actually takes home

What lands in your account is that price minus those costs minus whatever is still owed. The listing fee changes only the first of the three. Mortgage payoff is a figure your lender quotes to a specific date. It includes interest to the day and the recording of the satisfaction. It is never quite the balance on last month's statement. If there is a second mortgage or a home equity line it pays off alongside. Property taxes in Florida are billed in arrears. A Sunrise closing in the second half of the year usually means you credit the buyer for the months you held the home. A closing early in the year can run the other way. Association dues prorate the same way, and an estoppel fee is charged for the letter that states them.

Run your own figure rather than the median: the calculator above takes any price, and the listing fee behaves the same way at every one of them.

What to settle before you sell a condo in Sunrise

Two numbers decide what this is worth to you, and only one of them is on this page. The listing side is what we have replaced with a flat figure. The buyer agent side is a separate decision, still yours to make, and since the 2024 settlement it is offered rather than advertised on the MLS. Most Florida owners still offer something, because the agent holding a buyer chooses which properties to show. What changed is that it is now a number you set rather than half of a percentage you were quoted at the start.

Timing is the third. A Florida listing that goes live in the first half of the week picks up the weekend searches, and one that lands on a Friday afternoon competes with everything posted before it. That is worth more than it sounds on a market where most of the activity happens in the first fortnight. Have the photographs done, the disclosures signed and the price settled before the listing goes up, rather than correcting any of the three afterwards.
