Sell your Houston home without paying a 3% listing fee.
Waymark lists your home on HAR MLS through a licensed Texas broker. Aria helps with pricing, disclosures, listing copy, offer breakdowns, contract terms, repair requests, and deadline tracking. From $699. No percentage at close.
HARHoustonWhat 3% costs Houston sellers
The Houston metro median home price is approximately $295,000. At the average Texas listing agent commission of 2.93%, that is $8,644 leaving your equity before a single closing cost is added. Here is what that looks like at different price points across the Houston market:
| Home price | 3% listing fee | Waymark from | You keep |
|---|---|---|---|
| $250,000 | $7,500 | $699 | $6,801 |
| $295,000 (Houston median) | $8,850 | $699 | $8,151 |
| $400,000 | $12,000 | $699 | $11,301 |
| $500,000 | $15,000 | $699 | $14,301 |
| $750,000 | $22,500 | $699 | $21,801 |
Buyer agent compensation is negotiated separately and not included. Savings represent listing side only.
Did the work double because the home price doubled? The MLS fields are identical. The contract has the same number of pages. The disclosure form has the same 43 questions.
How Waymark works in Houston
Waymark lists your home on HAR MLS, the largest and most active Multiple Listing Service in Texas with over 50,000 active properties and 50,000 real estate professionals. Your listing syndicates to Zillow, Redfin, Realtor.com, and every major home search platform the same day it goes live. The exposure is identical to any traditionally listed home in the Houston market.
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 Houston zip code, your complete marketing suite, MLS description, and all transaction support from listing through closing.

Flat fee MLS gets you listed. Waymark helps you get through the sale.
Most flat fee MLS services in Houston solve one problem: they get you on HAR MLS. Waymark solves the next problem. Aria helps you price, prepare, review offers, understand contract terms, track deadlines, and respond when the deal gets complicated. Your broker is there when judgment matters.
| Feature | Traditional agent | Basic flat fee MLS | Waymark |
|---|---|---|---|
| HAR MLS listing | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| AI contract analysis | No | No | Yes |
| Disclosure guidance | Agent assists | No | Yes, all 43 questions |
| Deadline tracking | Agent or coordinator | No | Yes, automated |
| Broker support on offers | Yes | No | Yes (Manage) |
| Cost on $295,000 home | $8,644 (2.93%) | $99 to $499* | $699 or $1,199 |
*Some flat fee MLS companies advertise a low upfront fee but add a percentage at closing. On a $295,000 home, a 1% closing fee adds $2,950 to the advertised price. Waymark charges one fixed price with no percentage at close.
What Aria does for Houston sellers
Aria builds your pricing analysis using comparable sales data from your Houston zip code. Recently sold homes, active listings, days on market, and price changes specific to your neighborhood so your list price is anchored to what buyers are actually paying.
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. Houston sellers in flood-prone areas have additional disclosure obligations around flooding history that Aria helps you address correctly.
When an offer arrives through HAR 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.

This is Fixed-Rate Selling
Fixed-Rate Selling means the price is tied to the work, not the value of the house. $699 on a $250,000 home in Pasadena. $699 on a $750,000 home in Memorial. Same HAR MLS. Same Aria. Same tools. Because the work is the same.
Flat fee MLS gets you listed. Waymark helps you get through the sale.
