Tenant placement and rental MLS service in Texas
Eaton Real Estate Company helps Texas landlords list long-term residential rentals and place tenants without requiring an ongoing property-management contract.
Leasing help for independent Texas landlords
Texas has enormous variation between major metros, suburban single-family rental markets, coastal communities and investor-heavy neighborhoods. Eaton focuses on the leasing stage: getting the property positioned, marketed and moved through the agreed tenant-placement process, then handing it back to the owner.
Choose $99 Rental MLS-Only if you want the applicable MLS listing and plan to handle the leasing process yourself. Choose Tenant Placement for 50% of the first month’s rent when you want more brokerage help with pricing, marketing, inquiries, showings, applications, screening coordination and the agreed lease-to-move-in steps.
Neither service includes ongoing property management. You keep control of the property after the placement process.
Houston, Dallas–Fort Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Galveston and additional Texas markets where applicable MLS coverage is available.

Texas rental service FAQ
Is tenant placement the same as property management?
No. Tenant placement covers the leasing work included in the signed brokerage agreement and ends after the agreed handoff. Ongoing management remains with the owner.
Is the $99 service available everywhere in Texas?
Coverage is broad, but Eaton confirms the property address and applicable MLS before the listing is started.
When is the tenant-placement fee due?
The placement fee is 50% of one month’s rent, due when the tenant pays the first month’s rent under the signed agreement. The owner provides access; if Eaton personally conducts showings for unrepresented renters, the placement fee is one full month’s rent under an advance signed agreement.
