Listing fee

You choose what you pay on the listing side.

Sell now at 0.75%, Path at 1%, or Hold at 1.5%. Same desk. You pick the package. Occupied is fine if a lockbox works. We do not hold a listing appointment or spend six months staying in touch until you list. When you are ready, we go to work. Why the old 3% marketing pitch does not fit this house.

Item What you pay When
Sell now package 0.75% or $2,500, whichever is greater. List on day one at the last scheduled path price. At funding. Raise the price later and the file is Path at 1%.
Path package 1% or $2,500, whichever is greater. List at market with drops every 3–4 weeks. One courtesy week if you want to hold a step. At funding. After that week, refuse the drop and the file is Hold at 1.5%.
Hold package 1.5% or $3,500, whichever is greater. You pick the list price. No scheduled drops. At funding. Fee stays Hold even if you later cut the price.
Open house $150 for two hours. Licensed agent from this office. Paid when you schedule it. Not in the listing fee.
Buyer-broker contribution Not on the listing agreement. We usually recommend you consider 2%–3% in contract talks. Only if you agree in the purchase contract
Professional photos You hire the photographer and email the files to listings@onepointhouston.com. Typical local cost is $200–$400 if you add aerials. Listing goes live after we have the professional set

Included

  • Human CMA from a Houston desk, written from phone photos or a recorded video walkthrough. Weekdays 9 a.m.–4 p.m. Central, within one business day. Sample CMA
  • HAR MLS entry after professional photos
  • ShowingSmart for Houston-area showings
  • Lockbox and go-and-show access
  • Email and text first. One intro call after the listing is live. Phone for contract talks
  • Contract-to-close coordination

Not included

  • Drive-out listing appointment. Recorded Google Meet is for the CMA. A 15-minute Meet after the CMA is only to pick Path or Sell now.
  • A Home Topic 2% visit. That is a different program if this one is not a fit.
  • Hiring the photographer and sending us the files
  • Staging, cleaning, repairs, packing
  • Fixing the house after we see the phone photos
  • Meeting inspectors or appraisers on site
  • Negotiating a punch list of seller-performed repairs as the default. Option advice is a dollar credit or a price change. You can still agree to a repair. You hire. You own the work.
  • Open houses unless you book one: $150 for two hours, licensed agent, paid when scheduled
  • A promised sale price or days on market
  • Months of check-ins before you are ready to list

After you qualify

We list the home as-is. Use Get ready and finish that work before you ask for a CMA. We will not walk the house or write a punch list.

  1. Send the file the same day. A utility bill in your name, and either 10–20 phone photos or a request for a recorded Google Meet. Those stills or that video are only for the CMA. They do not go on HAR.
  2. A person writes the CMA after public-records checks. These communities have enough similar sales that the number is usually tight. Not an appraisal. The write-up shows Path and Sell now. Weekdays 9–4 Central, within one business day. See a sample.
  3. Sign after you pick Sell now (0.75%), Path (1%), or Hold (1.5%). If you want 15 minutes on Google Meet to pick the package, say so when you reply to the CMA. That call is not a listing appointment. Raising a Sell now price later is Path at 1%. On Path you get one courtesy week if you want to hold a step; after that week a refused drop moves the file to Hold.
  4. You hire the photographer and email the files to listings@onepointhouston.com. Occupied houses still need to be photo-ready for the shoot. We do not book the vendor. Typical cost locally is $200–$400 if aerials are added.
  5. Live on HAR after those photos are in. Showings run through ShowingSmart. Lockbox, go-and-show. The listing agent on your file calls once to introduce themselves. After that we stay on email and text until there is a contract to negotiate — then we pick up the phone.

Photos

Phone photos never go in the MLS. Professional photos are required before go-live. You hire the photographer and deliver the files to us. Horizontal, high-resolution JPEGs; every room and both exteriors; lights on; no filters. If the set fails, the listing does not go live. That cost is not bundled into the 1%.

Who this is for

Prepared sellers. You save us time. We save you money. We can take 1% because we are not spending the week hunting people who are not ready. Most of the day is MLS input, contracts, and closings on files that already qualified. If you want someone at the house, that is Home Topic at 2% — same firm, different job — not this program.

Lockbox and go-and-show — vacant or occupied. Built 2006 or later. List price $500,000 or less. Recorded subdivision or master plan with more than 200 homes. Community names on this site are examples. We list in Houston, Katy, Cypress, Tomball, Spring, The Woodlands, Magnolia, Montgomery, Fulshear, Richmond, Rosenberg, Pearland, Sugar Land, Hockley, Waller, and Brookshire when the four rules are met.
