The quick answer

Pay for the level of help you actually want.

Eligible Houston-area properties are generally listed through HAR MLS. Eaton checks the exact address before setup so the correct MLS path and seller responsibilities are clear.

Eaton separates MLS access from seller representation so the difference is clear before you sign: the flat-fee plans are DIY transaction paths; the 1% plan includes CMA/pricing guidance, buyer-agent communication, showing coordination, negotiation and contract-to-close support.

Houston + nearby communities

Local MLS coverage starts with the property address.

Houston and much of the surrounding region are generally served through HAR MLS. Because the metro spans many municipalities and counties, Eaton confirms the property address first.

What matters in a Houston sale

  • HOA, MUD/PID and utility information should be entered accurately when applicable.
  • Flood history and flood-zone information matter in many Houston-area transactions.
  • Long travel distances make clear showing instructions especially important.
  • Competing new construction can materially affect resale pricing.

Accurate property facts, clear access instructions and realistic pricing matter more than stuffing the listing with generic city keywords.

What can a lower listing-side fee change?

Illustration only: on a $500,000 sale, a 3% listing-side fee would equal $15,000. Real estate commissions are negotiable; 3% is not a required or standard fee.

Model Illustrative fee Difference from 3% example
Eaton $99 MLS Basic $99 $14,901
Eaton $499 FSBO Plus $499 $14,501
Eaton 1% Full Service $5,000 $10,000

The service levels are not equivalent. The flat-fee plans are seller-managed; 1% Full Service includes representation. Compare both price and responsibility.
