An online-first buyer's agent option from Eaton Real Estate Company. If you're comfortable shopping for homes without an agent accompanying you to showings, ask about our direct 1% remote service. If you want someone on the ground, we can try to connect you with an independent local agent instead.
The online buyer option and our 1% seller listing service are separate agreements. Compensation is negotiable and confirmed in writing.
From Houston to Dallas–Fort Worth and beyond, the best fit depends on your location, timeline and whether you need in-person touring support. We'll confirm your specific Texas market before making a representation agreement.
Work with Eaton remotely by phone, email and electronic paperwork. Depending on the signed agreement, we can provide brokerage help with your offer, negotiations and contract-to-closing milestones. This is best for buyers comfortable managing their physical property tours separately.
We can try to introduce you to a licensed local agent through our network who can discuss in-person touring and hands-on services. That agent may work for a different brokerage and has their own agreement, availability and fees.
Texas law requires a written agreement before a residential buyer is shown property by a license holder, or, if no property is shown, before that license holder presents an offer on the buyer's behalf. As of January 1, 2026, the agreement must spell out services, term, exclusivity, representation status, compensation and the fact that compensation is negotiable. Read the Texas Real Estate Commission's 2026 explanation. We'll discuss how an online-only agreement would work before any representation begins.
Tell us the Texas city or county, your timeline, price range and whether you're also selling a property.
We'll discuss remote representation if it fits, or whether you need a hands-on independent local agent referral instead.
