On the typical Fort Worth home, worth $292,900 (Zillow, September 2026), the all-in cost runs from $99 to $1,553.50. Free FSBO sites skip the MLS. Watch for PID, MUD and HOA notices.

Key takeaways
- NTREIS serves about 53,000 MLS subscribers across 48,000+ square miles of North Texas, so it’s the MLS Fort Worth agents search.
- On a $292,900 home, a 0.5% closing charge adds $1,464.50 to an $85 or $89 listing.
- Homes in a public improvement district or a water district need a written notice to the buyer before the contract is signed.
- Texas caps an HOA’s resale certificate fee at $375, and the HOA has 10 business days to deliver it.
What are the best FSBO websites in Fort Worth, by type?
There are three kinds, and they reach different buyers.
Free portal listings. You post your home on a home search site or a classifieds site yourself. It costs nothing, and buyers who search alone can find it. But Fort Worth buyer’s agents mostly work from NTREIS alerts, and a portal-only post usually doesn’t show up there.
Flat fee MLS services. A licensed broker enters your home on NTREIS for a set fee. You still run showings and offers. The listing then feeds the big search sites through the MLS.
Full-support plans. You pay more, and a person helps with offers and negotiation. Some charge a percentage at closing, some don’t.
Why does the MLS matter here? NAR’s 2025 Profile of Home Buyers and Sellers found 88% of buyers used an agent or broker. In North Texas, those agents search NTREIS. Here’s which Texas MLS covers your area and how to get on it by owner. Do you need an agent to sell? No, it’s not required; it’s your choice.
What does each FSBO website cost on a Fort Worth home?
We priced each company’s entry MLS plan on the typical Fort Worth home value, $292,900. That figure fell 1.6% over the year to September 2026, per Zillow.
| Entry MLS plan (Texas) | Upfront | At closing | All-in on $292,900 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beycome Basic | From $99 (see your state page) | $0 | Basic price, nothing added |
| Brokerless | $99 | $0 | $99 |
| Homecoin | $149 (NTREIS) | $0 | $149 |
| Congress Realty Basic | $299 | None stated | $299 |
| Houzeo Bronze | $399 | $0 | $399 |
| HomeZu Basic | $399 | 0.1% of the price | $691.90 |
| ByOwner.com MLS plan | $295 | 0.25% of the price | $1,027.25 |
| Unreal Estate Basic | $85 | 0.5% of the price | $1,549.50 |
| List With Freedom Gold | $89 | 0.5% of the price | $1,553.50 |
The lowest sticker isn’t the lowest total. The two lowest-priced upfront plans end up near the top once the closing charge lands. Brokerless says it covers NTREIS by name. Fizber’s pages don’t state Texas coverage, so we left it out.
Totals cover only the listing company’s own fees. Your title costs, taxes and any buyer’s agent pay you agree to come on top.
How do photos and listing term compare?
Price gets you on NTREIS. Photos and term decide how your home looks there and how long it stays up.
| Plan | Photos on the MLS | Listing term | Offer help |
|---|---|---|---|
| Congress Realty Basic | Up to 4 | 6 months | Full Service plan only |
| Brokerless $99 | 6 | 6 months | You negotiate |
| Unreal Estate Basic | 15 | 6 months | Not stated |
| HomeZu Basic | 20 | 6 months | None on Basic |
| Houzeo Bronze | 25 | 6 months | None on Bronze |
| List With Freedom Gold | 25 | 6 months | You negotiate |
| ByOwner.com | Up to 50 | 6 months | Not stated |
| Homecoin | Max | 12 months | Paid agent option |
| Beycome Basic | Max the MLS allows | Max the state and MLS allow** | Artur AI; human on Concierge |
At the $99 entry price, Beycome Basic gives the photo maximum and the longest term allowed, while Brokerless’s $99 plan gives 6 photos and 6 months. Its $188 plan adds 12 months and more photos, and ShowingTime is a $50 add-on there. On Beycome, ShowingTime is included where the MLS offers it, along with e-signature and free listing updates.
A short term matters in a slower market: at month six, a 6-month plan means paying again or going dark.
Which Texas notices often come up on a Fort Worth sale?
Fort Worth has grown fast at its edges, and much of that growth was paid for by special districts. That adds paperwork for sellers. These notices are separate from TREC’s Seller’s Disclosure Notice, form 55-1, effective May 28, 2026 (see the full list of documents needed to sell a house in Texas).
Public improvement district (PID) notice
Many newer neighborhoods sit inside a PID. Owners pay assessments for roads, parks or utilities built for the area. Under Texas Property Code section 5.014, a seller of property in a PID must first give the buyer a written notice. The statute spells out the wording, including that an assessment has been levied against the property.
Ask the City of Fort Worth or your title company whether your lot is in a PID, and get the current assessment. Buyers will ask what they’ll owe each year.
Water district (MUD) notice
Some subdivisions get water and sewer from a district that taxes owners, often called a MUD. Texas Water Code section 49.452 requires a seller to give the buyer a written notice before a binding contract. If you skip it, the buyer is entitled to terminate the contract.
Your tax bill usually shows a district if you have one. Your title company can confirm it.
HOA resale certificate
If your home is in an HOA, the buyer will want a resale certificate. Under Property Code section 207.003, the association has 10 business days from a proper request to deliver it, with the rules and bylaws. The fee to assemble it can’t exceed $375, and an update can’t exceed $75. The certificate can’t be older than 60 days when delivered.
Order it as soon as you have a contract; a slow HOA can delay closing.
Your appraisal district record
Buyers and title companies will check the Tarrant Appraisal District record for your property. Make sure the square footage and features match what you put on the MLS. Our guide to the Texas property tax ID shows how to find your account.
For the contract itself, read our walkthrough of drafting a FSBO contract in Texas.
Who closes a Fort Worth FSBO sale?
A title company holds the earnest money, clears title and runs the closing. In Texas, title insurance premiums follow state-set rates, so the settlement fee is where companies differ.

Buy a home →Beycome Title charges a $299 settlement fee per side in Texas, with title insurance at the state rate, underwritten by Old Republic. It also closes in Florida today. It also closes in Michigan, Ohio, Illinois and Indiana.
What if you want a person to handle offers?
Want the flat fee price without the back and forth? These plans say a person helps. Totals are on the $292,900 Fort Worth home.
| Plan | Price | Who helps | Total on $292,900 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Homecoin agent (TX) | 2.5% commission | A seller agent | $7,322.50 |
| Houzeo Platinum | $499 + 1.25% (minimum just under $1,000) | Offer and repair negotiation | $4,160.25 |
| Congress Realty Full Service | $399 + 0.5% | Offer help | $1,863.50 |
| HomeZu Premium | Just under $1,000 + 0.1% | “Assist with negotiations” | $1,291.90 |
| Beycome Concierge | See current price, $0 at closing | Beycome experts; you decide | Concierge price, nothing added |
With Beycome Concierge, experts negotiate with you, always on your side, and you stay in control of price, offers and timing. Support runs Monday to Friday 8:30am to 6:30pm ET and Saturday 9am to 5pm ET.
The 2.5% figure is Homecoin’s published Texas rate, used here as an example. Commissions are not set by law or by NAR rules and are fully negotiable. Sellers choose whether to offer a buyer’s agent any compensation, and how much. Since August 17, 2024, those offers can’t be shown on the MLS.
Selling a luxury home in Tarrant County by owner?
The higher the price, the more a percentage fee costs. On a $1,000,000 Tarrant County home, a 0.5% closing fee is $5,000 and 1.25% is $12,500. A flat fee stays the same at any price.
Luxury buyers also compare photos and details closely. Use every photo slot, add a floor plan, and keep the listing up long enough for a slower sale. A luxury home selling specialist, meaning a listing agent who focuses on high-end homes, is a fair choice if you want someone to run it all. If you’d rather stay in charge, Enhanced adds a pro photo shoot, and Concierge experts work with you on price and offers, always on your side.
