ACTRIS / UnlockAustinWhat 3% costs Austin sellers
The Austin metro median home price is approximately $426,000. At the average Texas listing agent commission of 2.93%, that is $12,482 leaving your equity before a single closing cost is added. In a market where prices have corrected from pandemic-era peaks, that commission takes an even larger share of the equity you have left.

How Waymark works in Austin
Waymark lists your home on ACTRIS, the primary MLS for Central Texas operated by the Austin Board of Realtors and now branded as Unlock MLS. The system covers 18 counties and 73 identifiable market areas with over 14,000 active real estate professionals. Your listing syndicates to Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, and every major home search platform the same day it goes live.
A licensed Texas broker submits your listing and reviews it before it goes live. Aria handles the repeatable seller work: pricing analysis using recently sold homes in your Austin zip code, your complete marketing suite, MLS description, and all transaction support from listing through closing.

What Aria does for Austin sellers
Aria builds your pricing analysis using comparable sales data from your Austin zip code. Recently sold homes, active listings, days on market, and price changes specific to your neighborhood. This is especially important in the current Austin market where prices have corrected from pandemic-era peaks and accurate pricing from the start determines whether your home sells or sits.
Aria walks you through all 43 questions of the Texas Seller's Disclosure Notice (TREC Form OP-H) in plain English before you submit it. Austin sellers in areas with wildfire risk, cedar pollen, water restriction zones, or MUD districts have specific disclosure considerations that Aria helps you address correctly.
When an offer arrives through Unlock MLS, Aria reads every clause of the TREC contract, breaks it down in plain English, and calculates your net proceeds before you respond.
Aria helps you evaluate every item in a repair amendment, explains whether each request is reasonable, negotiable, or outside normal scope, and flags anything that could affect your net proceeds or create post-close liability.
Aria builds your complete transaction timeline and tracks every contractual deadline with reminders. Option period, earnest money, financing, appraisal, title, closing. Nothing gets missed.
