Everything sellers ask before they list.

Yes. With Waymark, your home is listed on the MLS through a licensed Texas broker, the same buyer exposure as a full-commission listing, for one fixed price from $699 instead of a percentage at closing. You keep the equity a 3% listing fee would have taken. You are never without a licensed broker: they review your listing, your disclosure, and, on the Manage plan, your offers.

A flat fee MLS service allows Texas homeowners to get their property listed on the MLS for a fixed upfront fee instead of paying a percentage commission at closing. Waymark charges a flat fee of $699 (Launch) or $1,199 (Manage) and submits your listing to the local MLS board under a licensed Texas broker. Your home then syndicates automatically to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and Homes.com, exactly as it would under a traditional listing agent.

Fixed-Rate Selling is a real estate model that charges sellers a fixed, predictable price for listing and transaction services instead of a percentage commission based on the sale price of the home. The work of listing a $300,000 home and an $800,000 home is the same. A percentage commission scales with home value. The work does not. Fixed-Rate Selling corrects that mismatch. Waymark is the licensed Texas brokerage that created it.

Most flat fee MLS services post your listing and disappear. Waymark adds three layers that basic services do not offer: (1) AI guidance through Aria that answers buyer questions, breaks down offers in plain English, tracks deadlines, and guides disclosures; (2) Broker review on every tier before your listing goes live; (3) Active broker oversight on Manage — offer review, contract checkpoint, repair requests, and appraisal gaps.

A traditional listing agent typically charges 2.5% to 3% of the sale price at closing. Waymark replaces the listing agent commission with a flat fee while providing MLS exposure through a licensed broker, AI-powered guidance through Aria, and defined broker oversight at key transaction moments. The primary differences are cost and control: you pay a fraction of the commission and make every decision yourself.

FSBO stands for For Sale By Owner. A traditional FSBO listing is sold directly by the homeowner without any broker involvement, which means the home cannot be submitted to the MLS. Waymark is not a FSBO service. Every Waymark listing is submitted to the MLS through a licensed Texas broker, appears as a broker-listed property, and receives the same MLS exposure as a full-commission listing.

Yes. Waymark is brokered by Marelli Properties, a licensed Texas brokerage (TREC License 639078) with active board memberships in SABOR, HAR, ACTRIS, and NTREIS. Every listing is submitted to the MLS under a licensed broker, reviewed for fair housing compliance, and handled entirely inside TREC regulations.

Waymark is built for sellers who want MLS exposure, want to keep more equity, and are comfortable staying actively involved in their sale. You are a good fit if you want your home on Zillow and Realtor.com without paying 3%, are willing to respond to buyer questions and make decisions with guidance, and want a licensed broker involved at key moments. Waymark may not be right if you want a traditional agent to handle every conversation, prefer not to be involved in the day-to-day of your sale, or need someone physically present at showings.

Yes. Every Waymark listing is submitted to the MLS through a licensed Texas broker, and from there it syndicates everywhere MLS listings go — Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, Homes.com, Trulia and beyond — within 24 to 48 hours of going live. That reach comes from the MLS membership itself, not from a list any one brokerage assembles.

Yes. Because every Waymark listing is submitted to the MLS under a licensed broker, buyers' agents see a standard broker-listed property, not a FSBO. Whether buyers' agents show your home depends on buyer interest and the compensation you choose to offer, not on how you listed.

No. Waymark does not set or require buyer agent compensation. Following the 2024 NAR settlement changes, buyer agent compensation is negotiated as part of the transaction rather than mandated by the MLS. You decide whether to offer compensation and at what amount.

After you complete your property details and photos, your broker reviews for fair housing compliance. Once approved, your listing is submitted to the MLS and syndicates to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and Homes.com within 24 to 48 hours. Initial setup takes less than an hour.

Both tiers include full MLS exposure, Aria AI guidance, and broker review before your listing goes live. The difference is what happens once offers arrive. Launch ($699) is self-directed — you handle offer responses and negotiations with Aria guidance. Manage ($1,199) adds broker oversight at every high-risk moment: offer review, contract checkpoint, repair requests, and appraisal gaps.

Waymark offers an unlimited listing term — there is no time limit on how long your listing stays active on the MLS. The fee is fixed whatever your sale price. On Launch: Pay $699 once when you list, or $199 when you list and $699 at closing ($898 total). On Manage: Pay $1,199 once when you list, or $299 when you list and $1,199 at closing ($1,498 total).

Aria is Waymark's AI selling guide. Aria answers buyer questions and qualifies leads, breaks down every offer in plain English, loads contract dates automatically, sends deadline reminders 7, 3, and 1 day before each key date, guides disclosures step by step, and builds side-by-side comparisons for multiple offers. Aria never gives legal advice, recommends negotiation strategy, or makes decisions for you.

Yes. Enter your address and Aria pulls real comparable sales from your local market and builds a pricing range with the data behind each comp. No obligation, no credit card. On the Manage plan, a licensed Texas broker is available to help you evaluate it.

All buyer inquiries route through Aria first. Aria answers common questions, qualifies the interest level, and organizes leads in your dashboard. You see qualified, filtered contacts — not a flood of unscreened calls. Your yard sign QR code also routes through Aria.

On both tiers, a licensed Texas broker reviews your listing for fair housing compliance and stronger MLS remarks, then submits it to the MLS. On Manage, broker support extends into the active transaction: every offer is reviewed before it reaches you, broker confirms contract setup after execution, and joins for repair request negotiations and appraisal gap decisions.

Waymark is brokered by Marelli Properties, a licensed Texas brokerage (TREC License 639078) with active board memberships in SABOR (San Antonio), HAR (Houston), ACTRIS (Austin), and NTREIS (Dallas).

Showings are scheduled through ShowingTime, the industry-standard showing platform. Buyer's agents submit a request, which contacts you directly to confirm. You approve or decline on your own schedule. For unrepresented buyers, requests route through Aria first.

Yes. Open houses are available on both tiers. Your broker adds it to the MLS and it syndicates to all major sites. Your first open house is included free; each additional open house is $25. You host it yourself — no agent required.

All contact is routed through Aria before reaching you. You see organized, filtered contacts in your dashboard, not unscreened calls.

When an offer comes in, your broker uploads it and Aria reads the TREC contract to produce a plain-English summary. On Launch, you get Aria's summary directly. On Manage, your broker reviews the offer first, verifies Aria's summary, and adds broker notes before you see it. You make every decision on both tiers.

The option period is typically 7 to 10 days during which the buyer can terminate for any reason by paying the option fee. Aria tracks the expiration and alerts you in advance.

Your options include lowering the price, having the buyer cover the gap in cash, splitting the gap, or terminating. On Manage, your broker reviews your options before you respond. On Launch, Aria explains the situation clearly.

Aria builds a side-by-side comparison covering price, finance type, option period, closing date, and earnest money. On Manage, your broker reviews and verifies the comparison before it reaches you.

TREC promulgated contracts are the standardized purchase agreement forms for Texas residential transactions. You do not need to be an expert. Aria reads the contract and breaks every material term into plain English before you respond.

Yes. Aria guides you through Texas seller disclosure requirements step by step. Disclosures are reviewed by your broker before they leave your hands on both tiers.

Yes. Aria walks you through exactly what you are changing, then your broker prepares and sends the counter to the buyer on your behalf. On Manage, your broker also reviews and advises on your counter terms before it goes out.

On Manage, your broker reviews the repair request before you respond and helps evaluate which items are reasonable. On Launch, Aria breaks down each repair item and explains the typical approach.

Negotiations happen through your dashboard with Aria explaining each term. In Texas, negotiations happen in writing through amendments to the TREC contract. You are never forced to decide under pressure without understanding the document in front of you.

Texas sellers typically pay 1% to 3% of the sale price in closing costs (not counting commission). Common costs include title insurance (0.5–1%), title company fees ($300–$700), prorated property taxes, HOA transfer fees, and recording fees. Waymark's flat fee is separate from these closing costs.

Yes. Title company fees are paid at closing and are separate from Waymark's flat fee. These costs exist regardless of whether you use a traditional agent or a flat fee service.

Waymark's flat fee covers MLS listing, Aria guidance, and broker oversight. Not included: title insurance, closing fees, prorated property taxes, buyer agent compensation, buyer concessions, photo add-ons, and repair costs.

On a $350,000 home, a 3% commission costs $10,500. With Waymark Launch at $699, you keep $9,801 more at closing. On a $500,000 home, you keep $14,301 more. These figures represent listing-side commission savings only.

Your dashboard includes a print-ready PDF yard sign file. Download and order an 18x24 corrugated plastic sign from any print shop. The sign includes a QR code that routes every buyer through Aria first for lead qualification.
