Tenant placement in Houston
Eaton Real Estate Company helps Houston landlords market rentals, coordinate leasing activity and place a tenant without signing up for ongoing property management.
Houston rental listing and leasing help
Greater Houston is a large, fast-moving rental market with substantial single-family rental inventory and tenants searching across multiple suburban submarkets.
Eaton offers two ways to get a rental in front of tenants. Owners who want to manage the leasing process themselves can choose the $299 Rental MLS-Only option. Owners who want more help can choose Tenant Placement for 50% of the first month’s rent.
There is no ongoing Eaton property-management fee under either service. After the agreed leasing and move-in work is complete, the owner remains responsible for ongoing management of the property.
Houston, Katy, The Woodlands, Sugar Land, League City, Pearland and nearby Greater Houston communities. Exact availability depends on the property address and applicable MLS coverage.

Houston tenant placement FAQ
Do you provide ongoing property management?
No. These services are for rental listing and tenant placement. Ongoing property management remains with the owner after the agreed handoff.
How much does tenant placement cost?
Eaton’s tenant-placement fee is 50% of the first month’s rent and is due when the tenant pays the first month’s rent, subject to the signed brokerage agreement.
Can I just pay for an MLS rental listing?
Yes. The $299 Rental MLS-Only option is available for owners who want to manage the rest of the leasing process themselves.
Do you serve all of Greater Houston?
Coverage is broad, but the exact property address is checked first so applicable MLS access and service availability can be confirmed.
