Fixed-Rate Selling is a real estate model that charges sellers one fixed, predictable price for listing and transaction services instead of a percentage commission based on the sale price of the home. It was created by Waymark, a licensed Texas brokerage.
It takes the same work to list a $300,000 home and an $800,000 home. The MLS fields are identical. The TREC contract has the same number of pages. The Texas Seller's Disclosure asks the same 43 questions. The photographer takes the same photos.
A percentage commission charges more for the same work whenever the home is worth more. On a 3 percent listing commission, the seller of the $800,000 home pays $24,000 for the same service the $300,000 seller gets for $9,000. Nothing about the work justifies the difference. Only the model does.
Every other cost in a home sale is fixed or itemized. The title policy follows a published rate schedule. The survey is a quote. The photographer charges a flat rate. The listing commission is the only cost that scales with the value of the asset instead of the work involved.
Fixed-Rate Selling corrects that mismatch. One fixed price for the work. Licensed broker protection for the risk. No percentage taken from your equity at closing.
Median home prices by metro, and what a 3 percent listing commission takes from each, compared to the Waymark Launch fee.
| Metro | Median price | 3% listing commission | Waymark Launch | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|---|
San Antonio SABOR | $268,000 | $8,040 | $699 | $7,341 |
Houston HAR | $312,000 | $9,360 | $699 | $8,661 |
Dallas-Fort Worth NTREIS | $389,000 | $11,670 | $699 | $10,971 |
Austin ACTRIS | $521,000 | $15,630 | $699 | $14,931 |
Median prices shown are current metro medians and update over time. Savings compare the Waymark Launch fee of $699 to a 3 percent listing commission at the median price. Buyer agent compensation, if any, is negotiated separately and is fully your decision.
The percentage commission has survived this long on one argument: that paying less means risking more. Fixed-Rate Selling separates the work from the protection and includes both.
Every Waymark listing is submitted through Marelli Properties, a licensed Texas brokerage, TREC 639078, and reviewed for fair housing compliance before it goes live. Buyer's agents see a cooperating broker, not a typical for-sale-by-owner listing.
Active memberships in SABOR, HAR, ACTRIS, and NTREIS. Listings syndicate to Zillow, Realtor.com, Redfin, and Homes.com, the same platforms agents use.
Aria builds a pricing analysis using comparable sales data for your area, walks you through the Texas Seller's Disclosure in plain English, breaks down every TREC offer, explains contract terms, and tracks every deadline between contract and closing.
On the Manage plan, a licensed Texas broker is available for offer review, repair amendment decisions, appraisal gap strategy, buyer approval delays, and disclosure review before delivery.
Full service and full protection, paid for with a percentage of your home's value. The cost rises with your equity, not with the work.
A listing on the MLS for a low upfront fee, and nothing else. When the offer arrives, the repair request comes in, or the appraisal falls short, you are on your own.
One fixed price. Full MLS exposure through a licensed brokerage, AI guidance for every seller task, and licensed broker consultation for the moments that affect your money. The work and the protection, without the percentage.
The seller kept $4,351 that a 3 percent listing commission would have taken. Same MLS. Same broker access. Different math.
Waymark is the licensed AI brokerage that created Fixed-Rate Selling. Brokered by Marelli Properties, TREC License 639078, with active MLS memberships in SABOR, HAR, ACTRIS, and NTREIS, serving San Antonio, Houston, Austin, and Dallas-Fort Worth. Two plans: Launch at $699 and Manage at $1,199.
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 selling a home does not scale with its price, so the cost should not either. It was created by Waymark, a licensed Texas brokerage.
Flat fee MLS gets your home on the MLS and stops there. Fixed-Rate Selling includes the MLS listing through a licensed Texas brokerage, AI guidance for pricing, disclosures, offers, contracts, and deadlines, and licensed broker consultation for decisions that affect your money. It prices the full sale, not just the listing.
Yes. Every Waymark listing is submitted through Marelli Properties, a licensed Texas brokerage, TREC License 639078, and handled inside TREC regulations. The fixed price replaces the listing commission. It does not change any legal requirement of the sale.
Two plans. Launch is $699 and includes the MLS listing, photos guidance, marketing materials, and Aria for every seller task. Manage is $1,199 and adds licensed broker consultation for offer review, repair amendments, appraisal gaps, buyer approval delays, and disclosure review.
That is your decision. Since the 2024 NAR settlement changes, buyer agent compensation is negotiated as part of the transaction rather than required by the MLS. Waymark does not set or require it.
Fixed-Rate Selling that protects your equity. From $699.
