Your Home, One Phone Call

Finding a contractor you can trust is one of the most stressful parts of owning a home. You can spend hours reading conflicting reviews, chasing quotes, and waiting on callbacks that never come, and you still cannot be sure the person who shows up is licensed, insured, or fair. Pure Equity Realty built this home services network to take that uncertainty off your plate. We work with local professionals every day to prepare homes for sale and help buyers settle in, and we know which ones do excellent work and stand behind it.

When you request a service, we connect you with a vetted partner for that specific trade, matched to your area and your timeline. There is no cost to you and no obligation. If you need more than one thing handled, you do not have to start the search over for each project. One relationship covers your whole home, from the air conditioning and roof to the pool, the plumbing, and the small repairs that pile up.

Built for Florida homes

Florida is hard on houses. Relentless sun and humidity wear down roofs, fade exteriors, and force air conditioners to run almost year round. Hurricane season raises the stakes on everything from your windows to your trees. The insurance market has made the condition of your roof and the strength of your windows central to whether you can even keep coverage. All of this means the quality of the pro you hire matters more here than almost anywhere else, and a cheap, careless job can cost you far more than it saves.

The partners in our network understand Florida code, Florida weather, and the realities of insuring and maintaining a home in this climate. Whether you are a longtime owner, a snowbird who needs reliable help while away, or a new buyer settling into your first Florida home, we make it simple to get the right professional on the job. Pick a service above, or send us your request below, and we will take it from there.

Listing agents and seller representation in South Florida

Thinking about selling in South Florida? The agent you pick shapes two numbers: what your home closes for, and how long it takes. A listing agent, also called a seller's agent, prices the property against what has actually closed nearby. They also prepare and market it, screen the offers that arrive, and negotiate the terms rather than just the price.

Conditions in South Florida sit close to balanced, which rewards sellers who price against real closed sales instead of neighboring asking prices.

South Florida is not one market. Coastal and inland behave differently, and so do new construction and 1970s stock. Condo sellers face an extra layer, because association finances and reserve funding affect what buyers can borrow.

Pure Equity is a licensed Florida brokerage serving all eight of the South Florida counties we cover. Onias Derilus is the broker of record, Florida Real Estate Broker license BK3276618. A broker holds a higher license than an agent working under one. In practice that means the person advising you on price is also the one legally responsible for the file. That matters most when a deal gets complicated.

Realtors and real estate agents serving South Florida

People search for realtors, real estate agents, and real estate brokers more or less interchangeably. For most purposes the job title matters less than licensing and representation. Every licensed agent in Florida works under a broker. That broker carries final responsibility for the transaction.

What separates real estate professionals in South Florida is specificity. Can they answer questions about your street, not just your city? Ask what they have closed nearby and how they arrived at a price. A grounded answer cites particular recent sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. Vague reassurance is the warning sign.

Buyer's agents in South Florida

A buyer's agent represents the purchaser rather than the owner. They identify properties that actually fit and research what comparable homes sold for, not what they asked. They also advise on offer strategy. Finally, they manage inspection and financing deadlines through to closing.

Where buyers have room to negotiate, as they do in South Florida, the leverage is only worth something if you know where it exists and what to ask for. If you are buying and selling at the same time, which is common for people moving within South Florida, sequencing the two is its own skill: contingencies, timing, and what happens if one closing slips all need planning before either home goes on the market.

What representation costs

Real estate commissions are negotiable. No law, multiple listing service, or association sets them. If an agent tells you there is a standard rate, they are misinforming you. What you pay is agreed between you and the brokerage you hire. Get it in writing before the work begins.

Industry rules changed in 2024. Now a buyer and their agent must put compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes together. Sellers may still offer to contribute toward the buyer's side. However, that is negotiated rather than assumed. It is worth thinking through with your listing agent before you go live.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find a listing agent in South Florida?

Ask any listing agent you interview two questions. Which homes have they closed near South Florida, and how did they arrive at their suggested price? A grounded answer names recent closed sales. It also explains why those homes compare to yours. Optimistic pricing costs sellers more than almost any other decision. Verify the license too. Florida licenses are public and searchable through the state's DBPR portal. Pure Equity is a licensed brokerage serving South Florida. You can reach the broker directly at (561) 835-5400.

What does a seller's agent actually do?

A seller's agent prices the home against comparable closed sales. Before it goes live, they advise on repairs and presentation. Then they handle photography and marketing, and put the home in front of buyers and other agents. When offers arrive, they screen them and negotiate both price and terms. Terms matter as much as the number, because inspection windows, financing contingencies, and closing dates all affect whether an offer reaches the closing table.

How much does a real estate agent cost in South Florida?

Commissions are fully negotiable. No law or real estate board sets them. What you pay is whatever you and your brokerage agree to in writing before work begins. Since the 2024 rule changes, buyers and their agents must agree compensation in a written buyer agreement before touring homes. Any seller contribution toward the buyer's side is negotiated rather than automatic. Ask any agent you interview to put their fee in writing.

What is the difference between a realtor, a real estate agent, and a broker?

A real estate agent holds a state license to represent buyers and sellers. A broker holds a higher-level license and can operate a brokerage. That broker also carries final legal responsibility for the office's transactions. Realtor is a membership term for agents belonging to the National Association of Realtors. For someone buying or selling in South Florida, three practical questions matter. Is the person licensed, who do they represent in your transaction, and what can they actually tell you about your local market?

Do I need an agent to buy a home in South Florida?

You are not legally required to use one, but most buyers in South Florida do. A buyer's agent handles the parts that are easy to get wrong. That means identifying what comparable homes actually closed for, spotting condition or association issues early, and managing inspection and financing deadlines. Even in a slower market, negotiating room is only useful if you know where it exists.

Can one agent help me sell my current home and buy the next one?

Yes. For people moving within South Florida it is often the more practical route, because one person coordinates both timelines. Sequencing is the hard part. Should your purchase be contingent on your sale? How would you cover a gap if the closings do not line up? What happens if one side is delayed? Plan all of that before either home is listed, rather than after an offer arrives.
