It started with a broker who was tired of watching people overpay.

Aaron Jistel spent years as a real estate broker watching sellers hand over percentages of their home equity in commission for work that technology could now do much faster. So he founded ListingSpark in Austin on one stubborn belief: you shouldn't have to give up a huge chunk of your equity just to sell your own home.

First

We unlocked the MLS

We built a self-serve platform that let for-sale-by-owner sellers list for a daily fee on the MLS — the front-row exposure that used to require a listing agent. But access alone wasn't enough: FSBO homes consistently sell for less, and more than a third of FSBO sellers make legal mistakes without professional guidance.

Then

We out-served agents

We grew from a listing tool into an owners-first modern brokerage with technology that automates the busywork, plus specialists for pricing, photography, showings, negotiation, and a built-in title and escrow process — better support than a single agent, and still $11,000 saved on average.

Now

We're doing it for buyers

Our Flat Fee Buyer Program gives buyers that same tech-assisted process with full agent support while letting them keep most of the buyer's-agent commission in their own pocket.

Same mission at every step: give people the tools and the team to take control of their property transactions and keep more of their equity.

— Aaron Jistel, Founder & Broker of ListingSpark

Set-Up Fee Money Back Guarantee

Our Always On Your Side Guarantee

Let's be honest — real estate can feel sketchy. Hidden fees, long-term contracts, agents who vanish after they get your signature. We do the opposite. If you're not happy before your listing goes live, we'll refund your set-up fee.

We've helped over 3,500 sellers sell and save more than $70 million in commissions, and we're committed to earning your trust at every single step.

Your set-up fee is refundable before your listing goes live and non-refundable afterward because it covers setup services we have already provided.

    “It’s been a blessing working with listing Sparks. I have only good things to say about them. It gives me peace of mind knowing that I am in full control from beginning to end. If I ever have questions they are always there to help. I would recommend Listing Sparks 100%.For a very low price, they provided the listing input [I provided the info on the house], the for sale sign, the supra for the front door and the photographer. For a higher price they can provide more support than I needed as far as advice and analysis.”

    “I've been in the real estate business as an investor and a realtor for 10 years and listing spark made the selling process very easy and affordable. I used them as the listing broker and title company for selling one of my rental homes. The process was easy and smooth and overall throughout the process they were very responsive. For a very low price, they provided the listing input [I provided the info on the house], the for sale sign, the supra for the front door and the photographer. For a higher price they can provide more support than I needed as far as advice and analysis. I opted to go with their title company which reduced my closing costs even more. Overall, they saved me almost $10,000 in commissions. I would use them again and would recommend them highly.”
