Sell in Seadrift with 1% Full-Service Representation.
Seadrift is a specialized Calhoun County coastal market where fishing access, boat storage, multiple lots, furnished retreats and ordinary residential homes can attract very different buyers. Sellers need to market the property’s coastal utility as clearly as the interior.
Pick full representation or keep the sale self-managed.
Use 1% Full Service for a CMA, MLS management, buyer-agent communication, showing coordination, negotiation and closing support. Use $499 FSBO Plus or $99 MLS Basic when you plan to manage the sale yourself.

A small furnished fishing cottage, a multi-lot metal-building residence and a conventional home are different products. Coastal utility should drive the comp selection.
Use Seadrift’s market estimates alongside property-specific comps.
Redfin’s Compete Score observed October 12, 2026 estimates about 60 days to pending and sales roughly 3% below list. These are area estimates, not a sale-time or price guarantee. The $185,000 shown for 302 E Dallas Ave is its last list price; the source does not disclose a verified closing price.

Boat and fishing utility
Boat storage, launch proximity and garage/shop space can be primary value drivers.
Turnkey/furnished sales
Second-home buyers may value furnishings and low-friction occupancy. Inventory lists and maintenance details help.
Multiple lots
Extra lots, undeveloped space and future-use potential should be described and surveyed clearly.
Coastal due diligence
Wind, flood, elevation and insurance questions should be addressed with documents, not assumptions.
Port Lavaca comparison
Port Lavaca can provide broader residential context, but Seadrift recreational properties need coastal-specific comps.
Presentation for remote buyers
Detailed photos of storage, outdoor space and bay access can matter as much as interior staging.
- Document boat/storage utility
- Confirm lot count and parcel facts
- Gather wind/flood/roof records
- Prepare furnishings list if applicable
- Review Port Lavaca/Port O’Connor comps
- Photograph coastal features fully
Seadrift sits between Port Lavaca and Port O’Connor in the Calhoun County coastal cluster.
The buyer segment can shift from primary residence to fishing/second-home use within a few miles.
Questions to answer before launch.
Do area averages predict when my property will sell?
Not reliably. Market statistics and competition estimates can use different reporting windows. Match closed sales to the property’s features and condition, and verify whether a displayed price is an asking price or a disclosed closing price.
Do furnishings add value?
For turnkey second-home buyers they can improve convenience, but they should be documented separately from real-property value.
What does 1% Full Service include?
CMA and pricing guidance, MLS setup and management, buyer-agent communication, showing coordination and 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 allows cancellation for $0, subject to the signed listing agreement.
Can I choose MLS-only?
Yes. $499 FSBO Plus and $99 MLS Basic are seller-managed alternatives. They do not include seller representation or CMA/pricing guidance.
Start with your Seadrift property address.
Start with the address, lot count, boat/storage features and water access so the CMA can target the correct coastal buyer.
1% refers to Eaton Real Estate Company’s listing-side fee. Other transaction costs may apply. Buyer-agent compensation, if offered, is separate and negotiable. MLS availability depends on property location and brokerage coverage.

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.
