THE NETWORK IN LOCAL MARKETS

See the brokers and cities behind the model.

Browse examples of named independent local brokerages and their city-specific seller guides. Some have confirmed Eaton referral terms; others have publicly advertised offers that we verify before an introduction.

A profile is not a guarantee of coverage or a listing quote. Eaton receives the inquiry first; the responsible independent local brokerage confirms acceptance, services, fees and any minimum in writing. Browse all nationwide seller guides →

How an Eaton seller referral works

1. A homeowner inquires

Our seller request form gathers the property's market, contact details and selling timeline. We collect the full address and pricing details as needed before proposing a referral to a licensed local brokerage.

2. Your brokerage chooses

We check service-area fit, the standard 10% referral fee and eligibility. You decide whether to accept a property. Any introduction is governed by a written broker-to-broker agreement and applicable law.

3. You list; we share only on closing

Your local brokerage independently represents the seller, agrees on all services and handles the transaction. The standard 10% referral fee is documented in a separate broker-to-broker agreement before an introduction and is payable only when the referred transaction closes, subject to applicable law.

Simple 1% listing economics

Illustration only: a $400,000 sale at a locally agreed 1% listing-side fee, with Eaton's standard 10% broker-to-broker referral fee.

1% listing-side commission$4,000
Eaton referral compensation (10%)$400
Receiving brokerage retains, before expenses$3,600

No charge to join. The example is not a property-specific offer. Services, minimums, negotiated commission, lawful referral eligibility and any buyer-agent fee are separate matters agreed by the local brokerage and seller.

A good fit for established local brokerages.

We look for responsive professionals who can give sellers a clear plan, strong local guidance and reliable transaction support.

Independent brokerages, not franchises.

Eaton is directly licensed and provides brokerage representation in Florida and Texas. Outside these states, independently licensed local brokerages provide the actual listing services. An Eaton inquiry is not a listing agreement, and a 1% partner service is offered only in confirmed participating markets. Referral arrangements depend on written approval and state-specific requirements.

Common questions from brokers

Is there an application fee or monthly lead charge?

No. Our proposed broker-to-broker relationship has no upfront fee or monthly subscription; the standard 10% referral fee is paid from the receiving brokerage's listing-side commission only on a closed referred transaction, as covered by a signed referral agreement.

Do I have to change my brokerage's existing pricing?

No. Keep your independent brokerage, branding, pricing and operations. We are looking for qualified local brokers able to deliver an agreed 1% full-service listing for referred sellers. You choose which referrals to accept and sign your own seller agreements.

Is a 1% partner listing available in every state?

Not yet. Eaton directly serves Florida and Texas. Additional markets will be offered only after a participating licensed local brokerage confirms coverage, services and the 1% listing-side terms. Other locations can submit an inquiry, but availability is not guaranteed.

Will Eaton send a guaranteed number of leads?

Seller demand varies by market and property type. We do not promise a monthly lead quota or an exclusive territory.

Can we handle the partnership by email?

Yes. Send your brokerage name, licensed states, principal service areas and website to stephen@theeatonco.com. A phone meeting is not required to start.

Who signs the seller and handles the transaction?

The receiving local licensed brokerage signs the listing agreement directly with the seller and is responsible for representation, photography and showing arrangements, negotiation and closing under its own service agreement.
