Selling your home shouldn’t be a stressful ordeal. Ocean Breeze manages your sale from the first conversation to the closing table, so you can focus on your move – with a local broker who knows St. Augustine, St. Johns County and what buyers here are paying for.
What we do for you as your listing agent
- Price it right. A comparative market analysis of recent sales near you, so your home is priced to sell – not to sit.
- Get it ready. Honest advice on repairs, staging and curb appeal that will actually pay for themselves.
- Market it widely. The MLS, major real estate websites, our own site and signs – in front of as many qualified buyers as possible.
- Handle the offers. We review every offer with you and negotiate the price and terms that matter to you.
- Get you to closing. Inspections, appraisal, title and paperwork – we keep it moving and keep you informed.
- Help with your next move. Buying in the area too? We can line up your next home at the same time.

Costs to expect when you sell in Florida
Every sale is different, and your closing agent will give you exact figures. Typical seller costs include:
- Brokerage commission – negotiable, and set out in writing in your listing agreement
- Documentary stamp tax on the deed – Florida’s transfer tax, based on the sale price
- Title and closing fees – who pays for the owner’s title policy depends on local custom and your contract
- Prorated property taxes – your share of the current year’s taxes, credited to the buyer
- Payoff of your mortgage, plus any HOA estoppel or transfer fees
Florida has no state income tax, so there is no state capital gains tax on a home sale. Federal rules may still apply; ask your tax adviser.
