If you're selling a home in Houston, you've probably noticed that most flat fee services charge you $300-$500 just to get on the MLS — and then leave you completely on your own. At ShopProp, we take a fundamentally different approach: full-service representation from a managing broker for a flat $4,995 on homes under $1M.

Houston's Flat Fee Landscape in 2026
- Kat Realty — Houston-focused flat fee, MLS-only. No managing broker oversight or negotiation support.

The Real Cost on a $450,000 Houston Home
- Traditional 6% commission: $27,000
- ShopProp Full Service: $4,995 + buyer agent commission ≈ $18,495 total
- Your savings: approximately $8,500
MLS-only services save upfront ($300-$500 listing fee), but without professional representation, sellers routinely leave $10,000-$30,000 on the table through pricing mistakes and weak negotiations.
