Sell in Alice with 1% Full-Service Representation.
Alice is the Jim Wells County seat and a South Texas employment and service center with roots in cattle, agriculture, oil and gas. Sellers may compete across older in-town homes, newer residential construction, investment property and rural acreage, so the right price depends on condition, location, lot utility and the buyer segment most likely to purchase.
Three service levels, one clear choice about who runs the sale.
Use 1% Full Service for a CMA, MLS management, buyer-agent communication, showing coordination, offer negotiation and contract-to-close support. Use $499 FSBO Plus or $99 MLS Basic if you already know your price and want to manage the sale yourself.

Alice has enough transaction volume for useful market trends, but a citywide figure can still mix renovated homes, older houses, rentals and acreage. The strongest CMA matches condition and property type first.
September figures show shorter market time in Alice.
Redfin reports a median Alice sale price of $183,812 for the three months ending September 2026, down 2.7% from the same period a year earlier. Its September figures show 42 median days on market versus 106 a year earlier, 25 homes sold and a 94.8% average sale-to-final-list-price ratio.

County-seat demand
Alice serves as the Jim Wells County seat and a regional service center. Buyers may include local households, workers tied to public services, healthcare, education, energy and surrounding rural communities.
Oil, gas and agriculture
County planning materials identify livestock, agriculture, oil and gas, and manufacturing as important parts of the local economy. Seller timing and buyer confidence can be sensitive to employment conditions in those sectors.
Condition before square footage
Older Alice homes can vary widely in roof, foundation, electrical, plumbing and HVAC condition. Buyers often price repair risk directly into offers, so documentation can protect value.
Rental and investor buyers
Some properties appeal to investors as well as owner-occupants. Existing leases, rent history, utility obligations and deferred maintenance should be organized before listing.
Acreage and rural edge
Larger parcels and rural-edge homes need separate attention to well/septic, fencing, road access, outbuildings and land use. Those features should not be buried inside a standard subdivision CMA.
Negotiation strategy
The 94.8% ratio compares sale prices with final asking prices. Estimate concessions, repairs and closing costs separately when comparing net proceeds. Full-service sellers should compare offer strength across financing, inspections and closing terms.
- Prepare roof/foundation/system history
- Confirm parcel and utility details
- Organize leases if tenant occupied
- Review recent Alice price reductions
- Separate acreage from in-town comps
- Set concession and repair limits

Questions to answer before you price and launch.
Why has the Alice median changed so much year over year?
Market mix can shift quickly. A different share of lower-priced or higher-priced homes selling in a period can move the median, so a seller should rely on property-specific comps rather than the percentage change alone.
Should an acreage property use city-home comps?
Usually not without careful adjustment. Land size, improvements, utilities, access and rural use can matter as much as the house itself.
What does 1% Full Service include?
CMA and pricing guidance, MLS setup and management, buyer-agent communication, showing coordination and feedback, offer review and negotiation, and contract-to-close support.
When is the 1% fee paid?
At closing only if the property sells, subject to the signed listing agreement.
Can I cancel the full-service listing?
Yes. Eaton’s current full-service offer allows cancellation for $0, subject to the signed agreement.
Can I choose MLS-only?
Yes. $499 FSBO Plus and $99 MLS Basic are seller-managed alternatives. They do not include seller representation or CMA/pricing guidance.
Is buyer-agent compensation included in the 1%?
No. Any buyer-agent compensation is separate, negotiable and chosen by the seller.
Start with your Alice property address.
Use the address so the CMA can separate in-town, investment and acreage competition and account for the property’s actual condition.
1% refers to Eaton Real Estate Company’s listing-side fee. Other transaction costs may apply. Buyer-agent compensation, if offered, is separate and negotiable. MLS availability depends on property location and brokerage coverage.
