REALTOR® • GRI • CREN • SFR® • TREC #795476
I help people buy and sell homes in Texas. There are four ways to work with me: full service at 3% + $595, cash offers, buying before you sell, or a reduced fee of 1.49% + $595 if you want to handle more of the work yourself. Tell me your situation and I'll tell you which one I'd pick.
Ramsey Financial Coach
Texas Notary
Heart of a Teacher - Trusted Advisor
I've closed 55 transactions and about $20.9 million in volume, from Waco down to Austin. I hold the GRI, CREN, and SFR® designations and I'm a Texas notary. After a few years of this I know which problems in a deal are normal and which ones will cost you money.
Before real estate I ran my own businesses and coached people on their money. My wife Ashley and I paid off about $250,000 of debt, house included, and I got certified as a financial coach through Ramsey Solutions. That's why I'll ask what the payment does to your budget before I ask what neighborhood you like.
I'm a Christian, a husband to Ashley, and a dad to our son Samuel. I live in the same market I sell in, and I don't work Sundays.
Ways to Work Together
Most agents list your house and wait. I'd rather show you every path that fits and let you pick.
I handle the whole thing: pricing from real comps, prep and renovation with nothing due until closing, professional marketing, showings, and the negotiation. For buyers, that's touring, offer strategy, and new construction. 3% + $595.
How full service works →No showings, no repairs, and a closing date you pick. I bring you competing cash offers and run the numbers on what a normal listing would net you, so you see both side by side before you decide.
How cash offers work →Get to your equity before you sell, so your offer on the next house isn't contingent on selling this one. You move once, and we list the old place empty.
How Move First works →The Fourth Option
Some people know the process and would rather keep the money.
You handle the legwork: finding homes, hosting showings, taking your own photos. I handle the pricing, the contract, the negotiation, and getting you to closing. 1.49% + $595 instead of 3%. On a $400,000 home that's about $6,000 back in your pocket. I do this remotely, anywhere in Texas.

"When he proposed a relatively high market value (over Zillow/redfin estimates), I figured we were getting negotiation room. We received an over list offer on day one in a soft market. When that deal fell through three days before close, he drummed up a backup offer in less than 24 hours."
"In a challenging market for sellers, Davis went above and beyond to sell our home and secure a profit for us. His approach generated multiple offers and got us into contract quickly. Davis is deeply trustworthy and fought hard to get us the best possible deal."
"After 20 plus years of military service I think respect, integrity, and hard work go a long way. Davis is by far highly recommended by me and trust me when I say, you will not regret using him in the next purchase or sell of your home."
Where I Work
Not sure which one you fall under? Ask me.
Here's what you get when you hire me.
The CREN designation is specific to negotiation. It shows up in inspection credits, repair holdbacks, and the parts of a deal where money changes hands.
If a cash offer is a bad trade for you, or Move First doesn't work on paper, I'll say so, even if it means losing the deal.
I can list your house, source cash offers on it, get you into the next one first, or cut my fee if you want to do the legwork.
My brokerage gives me a transaction team, in-house mortgage and title, and a renovation program. They're behind me, not between us.
My active listings, past sales, and reviews are on my brokerage profile. It updates straight from the MLS.
