We just went through the process. The MLS agent gets a percent of the sale, the TV agent is on salary. I think they have a quota, and likely will get bonuses. In the latter, your sale price is not as dominant.
In considering new vs preowned, you need to consider that Florida is hard on building materials and such. Figure the life on items like roofs, HVAC's etc to be 50 to 70 percent of what your used to.
That is particularly important when DIY is less of an option.
We ended up building. The lot choice was ours, the builder would and will do virtually all of the add one before closing at a competitive price. These are all in at closing, where doing it after, you have to have ownership paper work to start and then find and get on their(the new company) list.
The time was important to us.
