    Episode 4 - 10 Questions To Ask Any Buyers Agent Before Hiring

    Buying a home in Texas—whether in San Antonio, Cibolo, Schertz, New Braunfels, or anywhere across the Lone Star State—is one of the biggest financial decisions most families will ever make. The right real estate professional can protect your interests, save you money, and guide you through the entire process with confidence. Here are the key things every Texas home buyer should consider before choosing an agent: 1. Local Market Expertise (City + Neighborhood Knowledge) Texas is HUGE, and real estate varies dramatically from one city—and even one subdivision—to another. A great Texas Realtor® doesn’t just open doors; they give you insight that helps you make smarter decisions. 2. Experience with Your Loan Type (Especially VA Loans) Your agent MUST understand the strengths and limits of that loan. An agent experienced with your loan type can negotiate more effectively and prevent you from wasting time on homes that won’t qualify. 3. Negotiation Skills in a Fast-Moving Texas Market Texas markets can shift quickly—interest rates change, inventory changes, and competition varies by price point. The right agent can save you thousands of dollars. 4. Strong Reputation & Track Record A trusted real estate agent should have: 5. Communication & Availability The Texas market doesn’t wait. You need an agent who is: 6. Understanding of Texas Contracts & Protection for Buyers Texas uses specific TREC and TAR contract forms. Hire someone who understands: 7. Professional Network & Resources A strong Texas Realtor® should provide trusted referrals for: This ensures you get reliable service and avoid costly mistakes. 8. Advocacy, Not Sales Pressure 9. Military & Relocation Experience (If Applicable) Texas has massive military and corporate relocation traffic. If you’re PCSing to JBSA or relocating for work, look for an agent who can help with: Not all agents are equipped for relocation clients. 10. Comfort Level & Trust Finally, you should genuinely feel comfortable with the person representing you. You will work closely together for weeks or months—choose someone you connect with. Hiring the right Texas real estate professional can make the difference between a smooth, confident home-buying experience… and a stressful one. 📞 Schedule Your Texas Home Buyer Strategy Call (Free) See video here https://youtu.be/loGWlhLYhGI?si=dyYG4k6B4Tqz28ux Stay Connected Subscribe to our podcast on your favorite platform so you never miss an episode.
