Is a flat fee MLS listing in Round Rock the same as in Austin?
Round Rock sits just north of Austin, mostly in Williamson County. That’s why searches for “flat fee MLS listing Austin” bring up this page: the listing goes into the same Central Texas MLS. What changes from Austin is the tax bill, the appraisal district and the paperwork for HOAs and utility districts. We cover both the price comparison and those local details below.
You’ll also see “flat fee realtor Austin” in ads. It usually means a broker who lists you for a set price, not a percentage. Ask which jobs stay with you.
What will a flat fee MLS listing really cost on a Round Rock home?
Here’s the entry MLS plan from each company that serves Texas, with any stated closing fee worked out on $395,900.
| Company and entry plan | Upfront | Closing fee | Total on $395,900 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beycome Basic | $99 | $0 | $99 |
| Brokerless, $99 plan | $99 | $0 | $99 |
| Congress Realty Basic | $299 | None stated | $299 |
| Flat Fee Group, Texas MLS Basic | $499 | “NO back end or closing fees” | $499 |
| Homecoin | $149 | $0 | $149 |
| HomeZu Basic | $399 | 0.1%, $395.90 | $794.90 |
| Houzeo Bronze | $399 | $0 | $399 |
| ISoldMyHouse Get Listed | $299 | None stated | $299 |
| List With Freedom Gold | $89 | 0.5%, $1,979.50 | $2,068.50 |
| Unreal Estate Basic | $85 | 0.5%, $1,979.50 | $2,064.50 |
The lowest sticker prices, $85 and $89, end up among the highest totals once 0.5% is due at closing. Two plans come to $99 all-in. They differ in what you get, which the next table shows.
How does that compare with a percentage commission?
As a reference point, 3% of $395,900 is $11,877. That number is an example. Commissions are not set by law or NAR rules and are fully negotiable. Sellers choose whether to offer any buyer-agent compensation, and how much, and since August 17, 2024 such offers can’t be shown on the MLS (NAR settlement FAQs).
Hiring a full-service agent is a reasonable choice: you pay for pricing, marketing and negotiation done for you. A flat fee listing gets the home on Unlock MLS and leaves those jobs with you.
How many photos, how long, and who helps on each plan?
Entry plans, side by side. “Not stated” means the company’s page didn’t say.
| Plan | MLS photos | Term | Changes | Offer help | Ending the listing |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beycome Basic | Most the MLS allows | Up to 24 months** | Unlimited, free | Artur AI; a person on Concierge | No fee*; no refund once listed |
| Brokerless $99 | 6 | 6 months | Not stated | Not stated | Not stated |
| Congress Realty Basic | Up to 4 | 6 months, extensions to 2 years | Not stated | Full Service plan only | Not stated |
| Flat Fee Group Texas | 50+ | 6 months | Not stated | On Full Service | Anytime unless under contract |
| Homecoin | Max | 12 months | 10 free | Paid add-on ($99 to $299) | No cost |
| HomeZu Basic | 20 | 6 months | Unlimited | Not on Basic | No fee to terminate |
| Houzeo Bronze | 25 | 6 months | 10 | Not on Bronze | Only with no active offers |
| ISoldMyHouse | 6 to 10 | 6 months | Not stated | Not stated | Anytime |
| List With Freedom Gold | 25 | 6 months | Not stated | Not stated | No fee without a pending contract |
| Unreal Estate Basic | 15 | Not stated for Texas | Not stated | Not stated | $0 fee |
Term matters in a slower market. Williamson County had 5.0 months of inventory in September 2026, and a six-month listing can run out before you’re under contract. Renewing costs money with some companies. Beycome Basic stays live for the longest term the state and MLS allow.

What Round Rock taxes and notices change your sale?
Two counties, one city
Most of Round Rock is in Williamson County, but the Texas Comptroller’s 2025 rate data lists both the City of Round Rock and Round Rock ISD in Travis County as well. Your county decides your appraisal district, tax office and county clerk. Look up your parcel before you list, so your tax proration and disclosures use the right numbers.
What a typical tax bill looks like
| Taxing unit (2025 rate per $100) | On $395,900, before exemptions |
|---|---|
| Round Rock ISD, $0.8931 | $3,535.78 |
| City of Round Rock, $0.372 | $1,472.75 |
| Williamson County, $0.413776 | $1,638.14 |
| Total, $1.678876 | $6,646.67 |
Texas school districts must give a $140,000 residence homestead exemption, per the Texas Comptroller. With it, the Round Rock ISD line on $395,900 drops to about $2,285. Taxes are prorated at closing, so on a midyear sale your buyer gets a credit for roughly half the year.
MUD and utility district rates
Some Round Rock-area subdivisions sit in utility districts that add their own tax. In the 2025 data, Brushy Creek MUD levied $0.386837 per $100 and Round Rock MUD No. 1 $0.68. On $395,900 that’s about $1,531 or $2,692 a year. If your home is in a district, Texas Water Code §49.452 requires a written notice to the buyer stating the district’s tax rate, and buyers will ask for it early.
HOA membership notice
Texas Property Code §5.012 requires a seller of a home subject to a property owners’ association to give the buyer a written notice of membership. Many Round Rock neighborhoods have an HOA, so order the association’s documents when you list.
Acreage with an ag valuation
Selling land at the edge of town that’s appraised as agricultural or open-space land? Property Code §5.010 requires a bold notice in the contract warning that the buyer may lose the special appraisal and owe additional taxes. Ask the title company to check before you sign.
Where do Round Rock sales close?
Beycome Title handles Texas closings for a $299 settlement fee, from its office at 1800 West Loop South in Houston, and Florida closings for $99 when prepaid. It also closes in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.
Moving to another Central Texas home? The Beycome buyer program charges no upfront fee: Beycome keeps 1% of the price (minimum $1,499) and credits the rest of the buyer-agent commission at closing, with lender approval. It’s open to every buyer on homes listed by other agents (the credit can’t apply where no buyer-agent commission is offered, like most FSBO homes, or on homes listed by Beycome sellers).
