1% Listing Agent in Pilot Point, TX & Northern Denton County | DFW 1 Percent Listings
How Much Does a 1% Listing Agent Cost?
A 1% listing agent charges one percent of the sale price when you buy a home through us as well, and we charge 1.5% if you only need to sell. Many traditional agents charge about 3% to list, so the difference stays in your pocket at closing.
Here is a simple illustration using round numbers. On a home that sells for $400,000, a 3% listing fee is $12,000. At 1.5% it is $6,000, and at 1% it is $4,000. Your own numbers will differ, and we will run them with you during your consultation. When you work with our broker and team, you can expect transparent pricing discussions and a clear breakdown of what your net proceeds will be.
- 1% listing fee when you sell with us and also buy a home with us
- 1.5% listing fee when you only want to sell
- Free, no-obligation equity and market valuation consultation
Lower Fee, Same Full-Service Representation
A lower commission does not mean a smaller service. We built our approach around leaner overhead and better technology, so the work you would expect from a full-service agent is still done, and done for you. If you are searching for a discount real estate broker in Pilot Point, the fee is the only place we cut. Here is what every seller gets from us:
- Full MLS listing with wide online exposure
- Professional real estate photography and virtual marketing
- A comprehensive pricing analysis and a strategic local marketing plan
- Full agent representation, including offer negotiation and contract management from listing to closing
- Full disclosure and honest advice at every step
Many of our satisfied sellers appreciate the combination of lower fees and dedicated service that doesn’t cut corners on the essentials.
Selling in Northern Denton County: What Local Sellers Face
Selling a home here means competing with a fast-growing supply of new construction while appealing to buyers who value space, lake access and a small-town feel. The city sits on US Highway 377 in the northeast corner of Denton County, less than two miles from the eastern shore of Lake Ray Roberts, and that mix of location and lifestyle shapes how a listing should be priced and presented.
A few local factors we account for when we build a listing plan:
- New-home competition. Master-planned communities such as Bryson Ranch, Talley Ranch and Pecan Creek are adding homes along the corridor, and builders can offer incentives that a private seller cannot. Your price and presentation need to answer that head-on.
- Commuter appeal. Buyers often weigh the drive to Denton, Aubrey, Celina and Frisco against home values that have historically run below those neighbors. Highlighting commute routes and the planned Dallas North Tollway extension helps the right buyers see your home clearly.
- Lake and acreage lifestyle. Proximity to Lake Ray Roberts, Isle du Bois and the Ray Roberts Greenbelt is a real selling point for many buyers, as are the horse properties that give the area its Horse Country reputation.
- Schools. Homes served by Pilot Point ISD attract families who want a smaller district, and we make that part of the story.
- Historic character. Homes within walking distance of the historic downtown square offer something newer subdivisions cannot, and good photography should show it.
Pricing Your Home Without Public Sale Prices
Texas is a non-disclosure state, so final sale prices are generally not recorded in public records, which makes accurate pricing harder for anyone working without strong MLS data. We build your price from recent MLS closings, active competition, days on market and the condition of your property, then explain the reasoning so you can decide with confidence.
Pricing also has to reflect what makes a property different. A ranch-style home on acreage with a well and septic system is not compared the same way as a newer home in a subdivision on city utilities. We also consider your Denton Central Appraisal District valuation and local tax picture, because buyers look at the full monthly cost, not only the price. Whether you’re managing a unique rural property or a traditional suburban home, our pricing analysis gives you the data and confidence to make the right listing decision.
How We Market Your Home Beyond the Yard Sign
Your home is marketed to the widest possible audience, starting with the MLS and extending to the major consumer sites where buyers actually search. That reach matters in a market where many buyers relocate from Collin and Dallas counties and start their search online long before they visit a home.
- Professional photography that shows your home at its best
- Syndication to major sites such as Zillow, Trulia and Realtor.com
- Social media promotion
- Aerial photos, which suit properties with acreage, lake views or generous lots
- Virtual tours for out-of-area and busy buyers
- A Doll House Virtual Tour for homes priced over $450,000
How Fast Can My Home Be on the Market?
Most homes are prepped, photographed and live on the MLS within 24 to 48 hours of getting started. Consultations are usually available the same day or the next day, so you are not left waiting to begin. Here is how the process typically runs:
-
- Free consultation. We review your goals, your equity and your timeline.
- Pricing analysis. We share a market valuation and a recommended list price.
- Preparation and photography. We help you get the home ready, then capture professional photos and virtual media.
- MLS launch and marketing. Your listing goes live and reaches buyers across major sites and social channels.
- Offers and negotiation. We review every offer with you and negotiate on your behalf.
- Contract to closing. We manage the paperwork, deadlines and coordination until the keys change hands.
What Texas Sellers Need to Know Before Listing
Most Texas sellers of residential property must provide a Seller’s Disclosure Notice to buyers, and honest, complete answers protect you later. We walk you through it, along with the option period, the financing terms in buyer offers and the inspection and repair requests that follow.
North Texas storm season is also part of the conversation. Buyers and insurers in this part of Denton County pay close attention to roof age and condition, especially after severe weather events like the tornado that struck the area on May 25, 2024. Knowing how to present roof history, repairs and any insurance claims can keep a deal on track. We review these details with you before you list.
Sell and Buy With One Agent, Then Save More
Selling your home and buying another with us is what unlocks the 1% listing fee. This suits many local homeowners who are moving up to more land, downsizing near the lake or relocating closer to work in Denton or Frisco.
Working with one team means one plan for timing, one point of contact and fewer surprises when your sale and purchase need to line up. If you are planning to build, we can talk through how that fits with your sale as well. Many sellers who are also buying a home appreciate the streamlined coordination and the significant savings on both transactions.
