Frequently asked questions
- How do you identify the best realtors in Houston?
- We weight verified TREC license status, transaction volume on the Houston Association of Realtors MLS, average days-on-market relative to submarket, list-to-sale ratio, designation credentials (CRS, ABR, SRES), and verified client reviews. Volume alone doesn't qualify — execution quality and post-Harvey flood-zone fluency matter equally.
- Which Houston submarkets should I match an agent to?
- Inner Loop (Heights, Montrose, Rice/Museum) requires walkability and historic-district fluency. Memorial, West U, and Bellaire need premium-market execution. Katy, Sugar Land, Cypress, and The Woodlands need master-planned-community and ISD specialization. Match the agent's last 12 months of closings to your target ZIPs.
- What credentials matter most for Houston buyers?
- Active TREC sponsorship, HAR membership, ABR (Accredited Buyer's Representative), and submarket-specific track record. For flood-prone areas, verify they routinely pull FEMA maps, elevation certificates, and prior NFIP claims. For new construction, look for builders-rep experience.
- Should I interview multiple agents?
- Yes — interview 2-3. Ask each for their last 10 closings in your target ZIP, their list-to-sale ratio, average DOM, and how they structure inspection negotiations. The best Houston agents will pull live HAR data in front of you, not quote stale metro averages.
