How It Works

Built to be simple from setup to closing.

Whether you choose full-service representation or MLS-only, the goal is the same: get your Houston listing positioned clearly and help you move forward without unnecessary confusion.

Choose your plan

Pick 1% full-service if you want representation and guidance. Pick $500 MLS-only if you mainly want exposure and prefer to manage the sale yourself.

Send your listing details

Provide the property information, photos, preferred price, showing instructions, HOA details if applicable, and any important seller notes.

Go live and sell smarter

Your listing is prepared for MLS exposure, and you move forward with the support level that fits your plan.

Support or control? That is the real choice.
