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.

Creekstone Real Estate lists Pasadena homes for a 1% listing fee with the same full-service representation you'd expect from a traditional 3% agent — professional photography, HAR MLS exposure, pricing strategy, showing coordination, and contract negotiation all the way through closing.
Pasadena is one of Harris County's most active mid-priced markets. Based on Redfin's Data Center:
Source: Redfin Data Center, 30 days ending March 31, 2026.
Inventory down and prices up puts Pasadena into seller-leaning territory — but it's not a runaway market. In this $200,000–$300,000 price band, overpricing lengthens days-on-market quickly because most buyers are working within strict lender-imposed budgets. A $10,000 overreach on list price can push you outside a whole bracket of pre-approved buyers. Pricing matters here as much as presentation.
Same MLS exposure. Very different scope of work.
Pasadena’s boundaries don’t follow tidy zip-code or school-district lines — portions of the city fall into Deer Park ISD and La Porte ISD even though most homes are in Pasadena Independent School District (PISD). School-district assignment genuinely affects a Pasadena home’s listing value, so we verify the actual district straight from HCAD records before we publish to MLS rather than relying on what the previous listing said.
On a $250,000 Pasadena home, our listing fee runs about $4,500 less than a traditional 3% agent — and that difference is often the entire closing-cost budget for a first-time buyer on the other end of your sale. When the buyer can actually close, your deal closes. Full-service listing, priced so more of your equity stays with you.

Pasadena is one of Harris County's most active mid-priced markets. Creekstone Real Estate lists your Pasadena home for a 1% fee with the same full-service representation you'd expect from a traditional 3% agent — MLS exposure, professional photography, pricing strategy, and negotiation straight through closing.
Full service, not limited service. That means photos, MLS marketing, showing coordination, offer negotiation, and transaction management — not a limited-service flat-fee MLS entry. On a $250,000 Pasadena home you keep roughly $4,500 more of your equity at closing versus a traditional 3% listing agent. Use the savings calculator above to see your numbers.
Pasadena's housing stock is dominated by single-family homes built from the 1950s through the 1980s, with pockets of newer construction on the city's south and east sides. Most buyers here are first-time owners or move-up buyers working within tight lending constraints — typically employed by the refining corridor, the Houston Ship Channel, San Jacinto College, or the Texas Medical Center via SH-225. That price-sensitive buyer pool means condition, pricing, and photography matter more here than on higher-priced listings, and we plan around that from the start.
If you're searching for a discount realtor in Pasadena, a flat fee listing agent, or a low commission real estate broker, Creekstone Real Estate delivers full-service representation for a 1% listing fee. Unlike limited-service flat fee MLS brokers, we handle everything — pricing strategy, professional photography, MLS marketing, showing coordination, offer negotiation, and closing — so you save on commission without sacrificing service.
Our listing fee is 1% of sale price with a $3,000 minimum. On a $250,000 Pasadena home you'd pay $3,000 instead of roughly $7,500 to a traditional 3% listing agent — about $4,500 more equity in your pocket. Use the savings calculator above to plug in your own sale price.
Based on Redfin data through March 2026, Pasadena is sitting at 3.5 months of supply — that's a seller-leaning market, though not as tight as The Woodlands or Friendswood. Active inventory is down 6% year-over-year and prices are up 5%. Overpricing will still lengthen time on market quickly in this price band, so accurate pricing is essential.
Yes. Your home is listed on the full HAR MLS, which syndicates to HAR.com, Realtor.com, Zillow, Redfin, and hundreds of other sites.
The buyer's agent commission is separate and negotiable. We walk you through your options during the listing consultation.
Absolutely. We list on the Houston Association of Realtors MLS directly — not a limited-service flat-fee MLS entry.
