1% Full-Service Listing for Highland Lakes Sellers.
The Highland Lakes market spans specialized lake, resort, acreage and second-home properties where water access, views, docks, association costs, utilities, condition and seasonality can materially affect buyer demand.
Choose how much of the sale you want Eaton to handle.
Use 1% Full Service when you want broker representation from pricing through closing. Use a flat-fee MLS option when you want to stay in control of inquiries, showings, offers and the transaction.

Price against the homes your buyer will actually compare.
Waterfront, golf, resort, condo and inland properties should not be blended into one broad comp set. Pricing works best when lake access, view, amenity package, land, association costs and condition match the homes buyers can actually choose instead.

Water and dock features

Association and resort costs
POA, HOA, condo fees, assessments and amenities should be easy to review.
Second-home presentation
Strong online photos and complete facts matter for remote buyers.
Utilities and land
Clarify well, septic, acreage, fencing and outbuildings where applicable.
Offer quality
Compare financing, inspections, personal-property terms, concessions and closing timing.
- Separate comps by lake and property type
- Confirm water and dock details
- Gather association information
- Document utilities and land
- Prepare high-quality photos

Questions to answer before you list.
What does 1% Full Service include?
CMA and pricing guidance, MLS setup and management, showing coordination, 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 is cancel anytime for $0, subject to the signed agreement.
Can I use MLS-only instead?
Yes. Choose $99 MLS Basic or $499 FSBO Plus when you want to manage the sale yourself.
Is buyer-agent compensation included?
No. If offered, it is separate, negotiable and chosen by the seller.
Why does local property context matter in Highland Lakes?
Subdivision, land, utilities, school or district context, condition and competing inventory can change which sales are actually comparable to your property.

On an illustrative $500,000 sale, a 1% listing-side fee is $5,000 versus $15,000 at a hypothetical 3% listing-side fee. This is not a market-average claim, an all-in closing-cost estimate or a confirmed partner quote. Actual services, minimums and other charges depend on the written offer.
Review these points before choosing
- Confirm the licensed brokerage that will represent you.
- Ask who handles photography, property access, marketing, showings and negotiations.
- Review the total listing fee, minimum, payment timing and cancellation terms in writing.
- Consider buyer-agent compensation, concessions and other closing costs separately.
