Get real representation with a Port Aransas buyer's broker

If you call the telephone number on the sign in front of the property for sale, you'll probably pay too much.  Those people represent the seller.  I am a real estate broker who mainly represents buyers as a buyer's broker.  Most times I can negotiate property purchases with more favorable terms and prices than someone from the selling company.

I also list homes, condominiums and lots for sale because I have many clients ready to buy quality properties.

I have resided in Port A since 1976 and have been buying and selling properties since 1979.  I don't need a map to find the streets like the newcomer agents with their fancy cars and slick ads.  I will share my years of experience in buying and selling for my own portfolio.  (How many other real estate people in town actually have their own local property investments?)

I have the ability to structure deals to the buyer's advantage, including tax free exchanges.  I address critical issues others shy away from: elevation, changes in neighborhoods, buying an existing house vs. the cost of a lot and building new, to help you make the BEST DECISION FOR YOU.  We show property from all other companies if it fits your needs, rather than coaching you to purchase something from a list of in-house stuff for sale. 

These services cost you nothing extra, because payment is made from the seller's funds at closing.  Some buyers representatives charge an hourly fee or a retainer; I only get paid when you purchase a property.  All I ask is that you are serious about getting a lot, home, condo or commercial property.  When you have made the decision to invest in Port Aransas or Coastal Bend property, call me. 

Together, we will decide what your interests are, choose the best location, and try and find the best deals out there.  As a buyer's representative, I can ask questions a seller's agent cannot, such as: why are they selling the house.  If it's a divorce sale, we can structure your offer in a timely manner to maximize savings to you.  If they need money for children's college educations, we can time the offer to get the lowest possible price.  I am allowed to look for defects and capitalize on the inspection report, in order to get a reduction in purchase price. 

My community involvement and knowledge is extensive - I currently serve on the planning and zoning commission, and on the board of directors of several non-profit service groups and volunteer liberally.  I know HOW the town is growing, WHERE  it is headed, and where new projects are likely to occur.

Selecting a broker is the most important part of any real estate transaction.  It makes all the difference between just buying something, and getting true value with your investment.  Let me be your Port Aransas buyer's broker and help you to find the perfect property.
