Our story

A local agency built on Texas City soil.

We opened our first office on Palmer Highway in 2009 with two agents and a printer that jammed every Tuesday. Fifteen years later we are nine agents covering every zip from 77590 out to the bay — and that printer is finally gone.

We list homes, manage rentals, run market valuations, and advise buyers navigating the Galveston County market. Most of our business still comes from neighbors referring neighbors, which is exactly how we want it.

How we work

Four steps. No surprises.

Every listing and every buyer engagement follows the same path so you always know what comes next.

01 — Consult

First conversation

A 30-minute call or kitchen-table visit. We learn your timeline, your must-haves, and what success looks like for you.

02 — Value

Numbers on paper

A written valuation with three comparable sales and a recommended price band. You keep the report whether or not you list with us.

03 — Market

Listing goes live

Photos, 3D walkthrough, MLS syndication, and a direct email to our 600-name buyer waitlist. Usually within five business days of signing.

04 — Close

Sign and hand off

We coordinate inspections, the appraisal, and the title company. You sign, collect the wire, and we hand over the keys.

What it costs

Plain commission, in writing.

One rate, no tiered upsell, no hidden marketing fees. The number below is the number on the listing agreement.

Standard listing

Full-service home sale

Everything you need to list, market, negotiate, and close a residential property in Texas City. Photography, 3D walkthrough, MLS, signage, and showings all included.

5.5% of final sale price
  • Professional photography and 3D walkthrough
  • MLS syndication to 40+ search sites
  • Showings, open houses, and offer negotiation
  • Coordination with title and inspection
The 5.5% is split roughly evenly between the listing broker (us) and the buyer's broker. There are no upfront marketing fees and no charge if your home does not sell.

Other engagements

For situations that do not fit the standard listing. Same office, same agents.
