Central Texas · Sellers & buyers · 3% + $595
The traditional way, done right. I handle the whole transaction: pricing, prep, marketing, showings, negotiation, and every problem that comes up between contract and closing. I've closed 55 of these. There's a team behind me for transaction coordination, renovation, mortgage and title, but you deal with me.
Most people. If you want an agent who shows up, does the work, and takes the weight off you, this is it. You don't need to know anything about the process going in.
It's the right pick when you want the highest price the market will pay, you have a reasonable amount of time, and you'd rather not spend your evenings coordinating photographers and answering questions from strangers.
If you'd rather trade some of that service for a lower fee and do the legwork yourself, look at Real Estate Essentials. If you need speed and certainty more than top dollar, look at cash offers. I'll tell you which one I think fits.
For Sellers
Not a Zestimate, and not an inflated number to win your listing. I'll show you the comparable sales and walk you through the reasoning, even when that number is lower than you were hoping for.
I'll tell you what's worth fixing and what isn't. Most sellers over-improve. Qualifying work can be done with nothing due until closing through my brokerage's concierge program, so you're not paying out of pocket to get your house sold.
Professional photography, a listing description written by someone who walked the house, MLS syndication everywhere buyers look, and video where the property calls for it.
I handle the scheduling, collect the feedback, and pass all of it along, including the parts you won't enjoy hearing. That's usually the feedback that sells the house.
Offers, counters, and the repair negotiation after inspection. That last one is where a lot of money moves, and where a lot of sellers give some away without realizing it. I hold the CREN negotiation designation for exactly this part of the job.
Appraisals, lender delays, title issues, last-minute buyer cold feet. Something goes sideways in most transactions. Handling it is my job.
For Buyers
Buyer representation is the other half of what I do, and in most transactions it costs you nothing directly. The fee is usually written into the deal and paid from the seller's side at closing.
You get someone who tours houses with you, points out the problem you're not seeing, knows what a property is worth before you write the offer, structures that offer so it competes without overpaying, and handles the inspection negotiation afterward.
I work with first-time buyers, move-up buyers, new construction, and land. New construction especially. A lot of buyers walk into a builder's model home alone without realizing the person at that desk works for the builder. Bringing your own agent usually costs you nothing and changes how that negotiation goes.
Cost & Coverage
You're hiring me. I picked a brokerage that lets me put options on the table most agents can't.
Cash offers and buy-before-you-sell are real products I can bring you, so we compare paths instead of assuming there's only one.
Qualifying prep work gets covered up front, so you're not funding a renovation just to sell your house.
Transaction coordination, pricing specialists, in-house mortgage and title. The parts of a deal that go wrong quietly have someone watching them.
You text me. The team is behind me, not between us.
Questions
Full-service is 3% + a $595 transaction fee, agreed in writing before you commit. On the buy side, the fee is typically covered from the seller's side at closing, so most buyers pay nothing out of pocket.
Depends on price, condition, and what the market is doing that month. I'll give you a range based on current days on market for comparable homes, not an optimistic number.
Usually not much. Most sellers over-improve and never see it back. I'll walk the house with you and give you the short list that moves the price, often paint, carpet, and a deep clean, plus what to skip.
Yes, and it's some of my favorite work. Expect plain English, and expect me to tell you when a house isn't worth what they're asking.
Yes, and you want representation for it. The builder's sales rep works for the builder. Your own agent usually costs you nothing and gives you someone reading that contract for you.
Read up on Move First. It's built for exactly that problem, and it usually beats trying to time two closings perfectly.
Client Reviews
“He exemplified the concept of under promising and over delivering. He was on top of communication, rarely taking more than a few minutes to respond. He successfully negotiated every concession… 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. He is incredibly knowledgeable, sharp, and strategic. His approach generated multiple offers and got us into contract quickly.”
“Davis took the time to ensure selling our home was as effortless as possible. Answered every question along the way and was able to sell our home very quickly in a difficult market situation.”
