Same scope of service. The 2% difference goes back into your equity.
Compared to a traditional 3% listing-side commission. Buyer-agent compensation is separate and negotiated as part of the offer.
Same mechanics as a 3% listing — the only difference is the fee at closing.
Free, on the phone. We walk through recent sales of homes like yours, talk through current market conditions, and cover pricing and timing strategy. The most important part is listening to what you're trying to accomplish.
We send the listing paperwork to complete electronically, schedule the listing photographer, and schedule the yard sign and lockbox install. You review and approve everything before we set a go-live date.
Once you approve and we hit go-live, your listing goes active in HAR MLS and syndicates within hours to HAR.com, Realtor.com, Zillow, Redfin, and the rest of the buyer-facing portals.
Buyer agents request showings through the MLS showing system. You accept, reject, or reschedule yourself — by phone, email, text, or app. We collect feedback and present every offer with our recommendation.
Option period management, inspection negotiations, appraisal issues if they come up, title coordination, and closing-table representation. We handle all of it.
The 1% listing fee is paid from sale proceeds at the closing table. No upfront fees, no per-service add-ons, no surprises.

The buyer's agent commission is separate from our 1% listing fee and is negotiable. We'll walk you through your options so you can make the best decision for your situation.
Yes. Your home is listed on the Houston Association of Realtors (HAR) MLS, which syndicates to HAR.com, Realtor.com, Zillow, Redfin, and hundreds of other sites — the same exposure as any full-price listing.
Most homes can be listed within a few days of signing. Once photos are taken and your listing is prepared, we activate it on MLS and it begins syndicating to public sites immediately.
On a $450,000 home, you'd pay $4,500 instead of the traditional $13,500 listing commission — saving you $9,000 on the listing side alone. Use the calculator above to see your exact savings.
Yes. We use 30-day renewable listing agreements. You're never locked into a long-term contract, and you can cancel at any time with no penalty.
No. The traditional 6% model splits into two commissions — one for the listing agent and one for the buyer's agent. With Creekstone, the listing side drops from 3% to just 1%, saving you thousands at closing.
Full-service listing. No catch. No hidden fees.
