Who we are

🏡 About Us

Smart. Transparent. Local. Trusted.

At Local Real Estate Brokerage, we’re not just changing how homes are listed—we’re redefining how real estate works for everyday people.

We believe sellers and landlords deserve professional representation, powerful exposure, and honest pricing—without giving up their hard-earned equity. That’s why we built Local Flat Fee MLS, a listing platform that combines technology, local expertise, and full-service support—all at a fraction of the traditional cost.

🔹 Who We Are

Local Real Estate Brokerage is a licensed Florida real estate brokerage led by James M. Arena, a seasoned Broker of Record with years of hands-on experience representing sellers, buyers, and investors across the state.

James brings a bold yet grounded vision to the industry: empower sellers with the tools and knowledge usually reserved for high-end listings—without inflated commissions, hidden fees, or pressure tactics.

🔹 Why We’re Different

  • Local Expertise, Not Call Centers
    We’re not a national data company or a faceless listing service. We're your local licensed brokerage, and we actually live and work where we list homes.

  • Real Representation, Real Results
    Every listing includes support from a licensed real estate professional—not just a listing upload. You get negotiation advice, market insight, and real help when you need it.

  • Transparent Pricing
    Choose the flat fee package that fits your goals, with options to pay most service fees only at closing. No gimmicks. No surprises.

  • Maximum Exposure
    Your listing is syndicated to the MLS, Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, Homes.com, and hundreds of top-tier platforms, ensuring the widest reach possible.

  • Seller-First Service Model
    Whether you're a DIY-savvy seller or need full-service support, you stay in control while we handle the heavy lifting behind the scenes.

🔹 Our Mission

To empower homeowners, landlords, and investors to list smarter, save more, and stay in control—while delivering the same professional results you'd expect from a traditional 6% agent model.
