For buyers

Buy in Austin with someone in your corner.

From pre-approval to keys, you get one agent who knows the neighborhoods, reads the comps, and negotiates like it’s their own money.

The path to keys

Your buyer journey

Six clear steps. You always know what’s next.

1

Pre-approval

We connect you with a lender and pin down your real budget — so you shop with confidence, not guesswork.

2

Neighborhood shortlist

We narrow Austin to the handful of areas that fit your life, commute and budget.

3

Tours

Private tours on your schedule — in person or by video if you’re relocating.

4

Offer strategy

We price your offer from recent comps and structure terms that win without overpaying.

5

Inspection & appraisal

We manage inspectors and the appraisal, then renegotiate if anything turns up.

6

Closing day

We track every deadline through to signing — and hand you the keys.

Run the numbers

Mortgage & affordability calculator

Estimate a monthly payment, or flip to “Affordability” to see a comfortable price from your income (28/36 rule — general guidance, not a loan offer).

Good to know

Buyer questions, answered

It varies by loan. Many buyers put down 3–20%. Use the calculator above to test different down payments against a monthly budget. This is general guidance, not a loan offer.

We recommend it. Pre-approval tells you your real budget and makes your offer far stronger when you find the one.

From pre-approval to keys is often 30–60 days once you’re under contract, though the search itself varies.

Closing costs are typically a few percent of the price (lender fees, title, taxes). We review the full estimate with you before you commit.

Absolutely — it’s Daniel’s specialty. We’ll walk you through every step, at your pace, with no pressure.
