Suffolk County
Selling a home in East Setauket, NY
East Setauket is an unincorporated hamlet in the northwest part of the Town of Brookhaven on Suffolk's North Shore, bordered by Setauket, Poquott, Port Jefferson, Port Jefferson Station, Terryville, South Setauket, and Stony Brook. ZIP 11733 is shared with the neighboring hamlet of Setauket, so an 11733 address alone does not show which hamlet a property sits in. The hamlet has no active Long Island Rail Road station. The former Setauket station closed in 1980, and nearby Port Jefferson Branch service runs from Stony Brook station and from Port Jefferson station in Port Jefferson Station. The Setaukets are part of the Three Village area, which is served by the Three Village Central School District. An East Setauket mailing address or 11733 ZIP does not by itself establish the municipality, tax lot, permit file, or school district. Sellers should confirm those records against the property file before they publish a listing.

What you could save
Illustrative arithmetic only: on a $683,400 sale (the Census ACS 2020-2024 median value of owner-occupied homes in ZCTA 11733, an owner estimate rather than a sale price), the difference between a hypothetical adjustable 5% alternative fee and a 2% fee is $20,502. This is not a statement of a typical or required selling fee, and actual fees, services, costs, and proceeds vary.
Illustrative comparison only, not a quote from any company, and not a guarantee of savings. Alternative seller-fee assumption: traditional sale fees of 5% of the sale price. Fees are negotiable and vary. Your actual savings depend on your sale price, the terms you negotiate, and any buyer-side costs you agree to pay. Rellia's 2% platform fee is paid only at closing: no sale, no fee. Other closing costs, such as transfer taxes, attorney fees and title charges, still apply. Rellia is not a real estate broker and does not give legal or tax advice.

- How is selling with Rellia different from a traditional full-service sale or FSBO?
- Rellia is a home transaction platform, not a broker or agent. Sellers can use the platform with a 2% seller fee and choose the licensed professionals they need, while FSBO generally leaves the seller to manage the sale directly and a traditional full-service sale hands marketing and showings to a listing company under that company’s fee arrangement. Compare the three selling paths.
- How long does a Long Island home sale typically take?
- There is no single timeline for a Long Island sale. The process can include an offer, attorney review, contract, contingencies, title and payoff work, and closing, so timing depends on the transaction rather than a guaranteed number of days. Review the usual sale process.
