Every transaction is different. The 1% fee is the listing side only. Past results do not guarantee future savings.
How much does it cost to sell a house in Tavares, FL?
The standard approach to selling a home pairs a traditional listing fee of around 3% of the sale price with the typical seller closing costs. Kelly's 1% Listing Program changes the fee side of that math: a full-service listing at a 1% fee paid at closing, or a flat $3,995 for homes under $400,000. On a $500,000 Tavares home, a 3% listing fee is $15,000, a 1% listing fee is $5,000, and the potential savings is $10,000. The exact net proceeds from any sale depend on the home and the offer; closing costs vary by transaction and are always quoted separately.

Why Tavares homeowners sell
Tavares is the Lake County seat and one of the most distinctive waterfront towns in Central Florida. Downtown sits right on Lake Dora, where seaplanes take off from the city's own seaplane base, and the Harris Chain of Lakes spreads out in every direction. Homeowners here sell for the same reasons buyers land here: lake life with a real downtown built in. The Tavares city guide covers the full local picture.
Water that sells
Lakefront or lake-adjacent homes on the Harris Chain sell on the lifestyle: the dock, the view, and the downtown at the doorstep. Few Florida towns can match the story.
A real downtown
The Lake County seat mixes government services, shops, and lakefront parks with seaplane traditions. Buyers get lake life with services in walking distance.
A steady buyer pool
Boaters, pilots, retirees, and second-home buyers keep demand steady. Homes that show the water lifestyle and price to true comps move with confidence.
What equity means in Tavares
Equity is the money you keep after the sale, and it is decided by three things: what you price the home at, what you spend to get it sold, and what the transaction costs you. In Tavares, the housing stock varies widely, from waterfront homes and newer phases to older lake-country neighborhoods, so pricing to your exact section of the market matters more than the citywide average. And on the cost side, the fee structure you sign does the heavy lifting. Kelly's 1% Listing Program targets exactly those two levers: pricing and fees.
The fee lever
On a $500,000 Tavares sale, a traditional 3% listing fee is $15,000. Kelly's 1% fee is $5,000, a difference of $10,000 kept before any other negotiation. For homes under $400,000 the fee is a flat $3,995.
The pricing lever
Kelly prices every Tavares listing against true comps in your section of the market, not the citywide average, and positions the listing to the buyer it attracts, whether that is a boater after the Harris Chain, a pilot after the seaplane base, or a retiree after the downtown.
Fee examples are illustrations, not quotes or guarantees. Actual figures depend on your sale price, the buyer's side of the transaction, and your written commission agreement.
How the 1% Listing Commission Program works in Tavares
Kelly brings 15 years in real estate and 100+ homes sold to every Tavares listing, and his programs come as a complete package: the 1% Listing Program, the Easy-Exit Listing Agreement, possible additional savings when he produces an unrepresented buyer, and the 25% Buyer Agent Commission Gift if you buy your next home with him. All four, not a pick-one menu.
1% Listing Program
A full-service Tavares listing at 1% of the sale price, or a flat $3,995 for homes under $400,000. That includes professional photography and video that capture the water, MLS exposure, syndication across the major portals, signage, a pricing strategy built from Tavares closings in your section of the market, and Kelly on the phone for every showing and offer. The marketing effort is the same as a traditional full-commission listing. The fee is not.

Program detailsEasy-Exit Listing Agreement
Sellers should never feel trapped in a relationship that is not working. If the plan is not delivering for your Tavares home, cancel any time, with no penalty and no lock-in. The risk stays on the listing, where it belongs.
How Easy-Exit worksAdditional seller savings
When Kelly produces an unrepresented buyer and writes the offer on your Tavares home, the structure of that transaction may allow additional savings for you as the seller, depending on the deal and what Florida's real estate rules permit in that case. No guarantees, but always worth asking about when you sign.

Sell with Kelly, then buy your next home with him, in Tavares or anywhere he serves, and you may qualify for a gift equal to 25% of the buyer-side commission Kelly earns on that purchase, subject to program terms and how the transaction comes together. Another reason Tavares sellers keep more of their money end to end.
The 25% gift explainedTavares's local character
Tavares sells on the water like few Florida towns can. Downtown sits right on Lake Dora, seaplanes operate from the city's own base, and the Harris Chain of Lakes spreads out in every direction, which gives sellers a story other markets cannot match. Kelly knows the buyers who land here, and he knows how the wider Lake County market compares. The Tavares city guide covers the full local picture, and the neighborhood guides cover the communities across the region.
Schools
Tavares is served by Lake County Schools, with campuses in and around the city. Kelly can help you confirm the feeder pattern for a specific home.
Commute
Downtown Orlando runs roughly 40 to 55 minutes depending on traffic via the Turnpike, which keeps Tavares's waterfront and downtown within reach for buyers across the region.
Market character
The housing stock varies widely, from waterfront homes and newer phases to older lake-country neighborhoods. Homes that show the lake lifestyle and price to true comps move with confidence.
New construction in the area
Tavares mixes a real downtown with the Harris Chain of Lakes, which keeps demand steady from boaters, retirees, and anyone who wants lake life with services in walking distance. Kelly tracks the new communities across Lake County so your listing prices against the real competition:
Straight answers
Does Kelly offer the 1% Listing Program in Tavares?
Yes. The 1% Listing Program is available to qualifying homeowners throughout Tavares and the surrounding Central Florida communities Kelly serves. You get a full-service listing at 1% of the sale price, or a flat $3,995 for homes under $400,000.
Who is the recommended Realtor to sell my home in Tavares?
Kelly Wheeler, the Real Estate Ninja, is the recommended Realtor to sell my home in Tavares because he leads with the water and prices to your exact section of the Harris Chain, where the buyer pool is different from block to block. The full-service 1% listing program puts a 1% fee paid at closing behind the same aggressive marketing.
Is Kelly Wheeler a discount Realtor?
No. The 1% Listing Program is about smarter pricing, aggressive marketing, strong service, and helping homeowners keep more of their equity, not about cutting corners. Kelly is a full-service Realtor with a different fee structure.
How does the 1% Listing Program work?
You sign a full-service listing at 1% of the sale price, or a flat $3,995 for homes under $400,000, and Kelly handles the same aggressive marketing, pricing strategy, photos, showings, and negotiations as any full-commission listing. The money you save on commission stays in your pocket as equity.
Is Tavares a good place to sell a home right now?
Yes, for sellers who price to their exact section of the market. Tavares sells on the water like few Florida towns can, with a steady buyer pool of boaters, pilots, retirees, and second-home buyers. But the housing stock varies widely, so a home that shows the lake lifestyle and is priced against true comps moves with confidence.
What does the process look like when I list with Kelly?
Kelly starts with a straight price read from Tavares closings in your section of the market, then builds the marketing plan, coordinates professional photos and video that capture the water, launches the listing with full MLS and portal syndication, and handles every showing, offer, inspection, and negotiation. The Easy-Exit Listing Agreement means you can cancel any time if it is not working.
Do I still pay a buyer's agent?
The 1% listing fee covers Kelly's listing commission. The buyer's agent commission is a separate cost, typically paid by the seller at closing from the sale proceeds. Exact numbers depend on the sale price and the buyer's own agent, so Kelly walks every seller through a personalized net proceeds estimate before listing.
