Three lower-cost paths

What “low commission” actually means at Eaton.

Some Houston discount-broker offers include full representation. Others are flat-fee MLS products where the seller runs the sale. Eaton offers both models so the seller can choose the workload and fee structure that fits.

MLS Basic

$99 flat fee

For experienced DIY sellers.

  • 6-month MLS listing
  • Up to 10 seller-supplied photos
  • 2 listing changes included
  • Email support
  • No CMA or representation

You handle pricing, inquiries, showings, offers, negotiation, contracts, title and closing.

Compare the job, not just the fee

Houston low-commission options can look similar and work very differently.

Seller question $99 MLS Basic $499 FSBO Plus 1% Full Service
MLS exposure Included Included Included
Pricing guidance / CMA Seller handles Seller handles Eaton
Buyer-agent calls & showing coordination Seller handles Seller handles Eaton
Offer review & negotiation Seller handles Seller handles Eaton
Contract, title & closing support Seller handles Seller handles Eaton
Listing-side fee structure $99 flat fee $499 flat fee 1% if sold

Buyer-agent compensation, if offered, is separate, negotiable and chosen by the seller. Optional professional photography is $199 and an Eaton yard sign is $99 where offered under the applicable plan.

Houston seller intent

When a lower-fee full-service broker makes sense.

A seller who wants help with pricing, buyer-agent communication, showing coordination, offer terms, negotiation, deadlines and closing issues usually needs representation—not just MLS entry.

If you already know the price, can manage every inquiry, are comfortable negotiating and can handle the transaction yourself, a flat-fee MLS plan may be the lower-cost fit.

That distinction is why Eaton keeps the Houston 1% seller page and the Houston flat-fee MLS page separate.

Why verify the brokerage

Use public proof before choosing a discount broker.

Houston & surrounding markets

One Houston strategy does not fit every property.

The Houston market includes urban condos and townhomes, established subdivisions, suburban master-planned communities, acreage and Gulf Coast properties. Eaton uses dedicated market pages so local seller content can stay specific.

Houston seller checklist

Choose the service level in three steps.

Step 1

Decide who will manage the sale.

If you want to handle pricing, inquiries, showings, negotiation and closing yourself, compare the seller-managed MLS plans.

Step 2

Compare the actual workload.

Do not compare only the advertised fee. Check who handles buyer-agent communication, offer terms, deadlines and contract-to-close issues.
