In Your Corner.

You need representation at the table — someone whose job it is to protect your interests, not the seller's. Commission structures have changed in the industry, and it's worth a direct conversation about how buyer representation works and what it costs. What I can tell you is this: going unrepresented into one of the biggest financial decisions of your life is a risk most buyers don't fully understand until something goes wrong. Reach out and let's talk through how this works.

Reach out to me first — before the lender, before the search. A 15-minute conversation helps you understand the full picture: what pre-approval actually involves, what questions to ask a lender, and whether your timeline and budget are realistic for this market. Most buyers go straight to Zillow and then scramble to get pre-approved when they find something they like. Starting with a real conversation puts you ahead of that.

From pre-approval to closing, most transactions take 30–45 days once you're under contract. The search phase varies widely — some buyers find their home in two weeks, others take two months. A lot depends on your clarity on what you want, your price range, and how active the market is in your target neighborhoods. For military buyers on PCS timelines, I've closed transactions remotely in as little as three weeks. I'll give you an honest timeline based on your specific situation.

Closing costs in Texas typically run 2–3% of the purchase price and cover things like title insurance, lender fees, prepaid taxes and insurance, and inspection costs. These are separate from your down payment. First-time buyers and VA buyers are sometimes surprised by these costs — I walk every buyer through a realistic estimate early in the process so there are no surprises at the closing table. There are also down payment assistance programs available in San Antonio worth exploring if cost is a concern. Visit my resources page for more.

That's the best time to reach out. Six months of preparation makes for a much smoother transaction than six days. Whether you're working on your credit, saving for a down payment, or just trying to understand if buying makes sense for your situation right now — let's talk. No pressure, no timeline, just a real conversation.
