Luna Realty · Waltham
One local, licensed brokerage for everything a Waltham owner needs to list a rental — starting with two ways to list: Essential, $499 each time it’s listed, or Full Service, $499 + half a month’s rent, only when a lease is signed. Below, the whole toolkit: pricing, the 2025 law, the real costs, and how to start.
Home base at 481 Main St, Waltham, MA 02451. Whether you own one condo or a few doors, one listing agreement covers all your units, and you choose a plan for each.
If you would rather not hand about a month’s rent to a listing broker just to fill a vacancy, we offer two plans. Essential is $499 each time the unit is listed: professional photos, the broker listing network and rentluna.com, and an Owner Portal, with the whole open market able to show it. Full Service adds Luna Realty agents showing your unit, for half a month’s rent, due only when a lease is signed.
Because we are based on Main Street in Waltham, this is not a territory we drop into — it is home. We know how the two- and three-family stock leases, which pockets command a premium, and how demand from Brandeis, Bentley, and the Route 128 biotech corridor moves through the year. Use the guides below to price your unit, understand the 2025 broker-fee law, and see exactly what renting out a property really costs — then start your listing whenever you are ready.
Five guides and one place to start. Pick where you are.
Two plans. Essential: $499 each time the unit is listed, and the whole open market can show it. Full Service: $499 + half a month’s rent, only when a lease is signed, and Luna Realty agents show it. Both include professional photos, the broker listing network and rentluna.com, and an Owner Portal.

When the lease is signed, the listing ends and you run the property from there. Luna Realty does not manage rentals. Your Owner Portal keeps the lease, the tenant record and a month-by-month rent schedule you update.
An exclusive listing with Luna Realty, on one of two plans. Essential is $499 each time a unit is listed: professional photos, posted to the broker listing network and rentluna.com usually within one business day, and an Owner Portal for showing requests, applications with tenant screening, your lease (prepared in our lease builder, with MA Board addendums and online signing), analytics and Luna AI; the whole open market can show it. Full Service is the same plus Luna Realty agents showing your unit, for half a month’s rent, due only when a lease is signed. We also offer a free rental analysis to help you price, and plain-English guidance on the 2025 broker-fee law.
Essential is $499 each time a unit is listed. Full Service is $499 plus half of one month’s rent, due only when a lease is signed while the listing is active. $499 is paid each time a unit is listed, after you sign the listing agreement. Listings run 6 months. For comparison, a traditional listing broker usually charges about one month’s rent. Example only, on a unit renting for $2,500 a month: about $2,500, vs $499 on Essential or $1,749 on Full Service ($499 when you list + $1,250 when a lease is signed).
