Selling your home should be a smooth and stress-free experience, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Below are some of the most common questions sellers have asked me over the years. If you’d like to talk with me directly, feel free to call 512-400-6261 during business hours.

Is there any upfront cost to get started with a flat fee listing?
To begin the listing process, I collect a $295 listing initiation fee. This confirms you’re ready to move forward and allows me to prepare your listing paperwork and formally onboard you as a client.
Once the paperwork is complete and signed, we’ll schedule an in-person consultation at your home, where I’ll provide detailed pricing guidance, preparation recommendations, and next steps to bring your property to market.
The $295 listing initiation fee is credited back in full at closing and helps ensure a smooth, focused start for both of us.
My goal is to provide serious sellers with professional, full-service representation — without long contracts or unnecessary friction.
What happens next after I’m ready to get started?
Here’s what to expect once you’re ready to get started:
1. Submit the “Get Started” form (or email me). I’ll follow up to confirm a few details needed for your paperwork.
2. Pay the $295 listing initiation fee (I'll email you for payment)
3. We complete the listing agreement and onboarding paperwork.
4. In-home review & pricing guidance - Once you’re onboarded as a client, I schedule an in-person visit to review the property, discuss strategy, and give you make-ready guidance. (If you’re out of town, I can handle this step while you're away)
5. Marketing begins - Photography and launch timing are coordinated, then the listing goes active in MLS and showings begin.
That’s the full process—simple, clear, and designed to move quickly once you’re ready.
How can you charge so much less? Sounds too good to be true.
Over the years, I've refined my process to be more efficient, allowing me to provide full-service representation at a fair price. My values, including fairness, are at the core of my business model. I sleep better at night, knowing that I am creating a new way of doing business where everyone wins.
Since you charge a flat fee, do you still have an incentive to get top dollar?
Who sets the list price for my home?
What price can my house sell for?
I can provide a quick, software-driven home value estimate, but I'll need to see your home in person for the most accurate pricing. Once you're onboard as a client, I'll meet with you at your house to assess the property's condition and features and create a comprehensive written market analysis report to determine your home's maximum suggested list price.
How long will it take to sell my home?
Why does the flat fee rate increase for higher-priced homes?
Higher-value properties require more time, marketing, and administrative costs. More expensive homes often involve complex negotiations, and my tiered pricing ensures that every client receives the level of service they need. See client reviews >
Are you a local listing agent?
Yes. I’ve lived in Austin for more than 25 years and have deep experience listing and selling homes throughout Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. My practice is rooted in local market knowledge and long-term relationships across Central Texas.
How long have you been selling real estate?
Can you tell me about your company?
Absolutely. I’m an independent Texas real estate broker with more than 20 years of experience serving clients in Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. My brokerage is intentionally boutique—focused on personalized service, clear communication, and smart, efficient processes that make selling your home seamless from start to finish.
Will my home be listed on major real estate websites?
Yes! In addition to the MLS, our software will send your listing to Zillow, Trulia, Realtor.com, Redfin, RE/MAX, Sotheby's, Keller Williams, Compass, Coldwell Banker, and thousands of local and national real estate sites.
Will other agents be able to show my home?
Do I need to pay a 3% buyer's agent commission?
Not anymore! Thanks to the recent Sitzer v. National Association of Realtors (NAR) lawsuit and resulting settlement, advertising a 3% buyer's agent commission is no longer.
Summary of the lawsuit: Sellers argued that real estate commissions were too high and that the NAR's rules inflated commission rates. As a result, new policies took effect nationwide, including in Central Texas, on August 17, 2024.
How do showings work?
We offer Centralized Showing Service (CSS) for convenient appointment scheduling. If you live in your home, you can approve or decline showings via your phone.
If a buyer without an agent wants to see my home, who shows it?
I coordinate every direct buyer inquiry personally, and for showings, one of my vetted partner agents will meet the buyer at your property, unlock the home, and provide a professional, guided tour.
This on-demand support network allows us to respond quickly, accommodate more showing requests, and keep your listing accessible seven days a week.
Do you offer open houses?
What type of lockbox do you use?
We use the Supra iBox, an electronic key box that tracks showings and restricts overnight access for security.
How long is the listing agreement, and can I cancel if I change my mind?
Most single-family home listings are set for 90 days, which typically aligns with the average days on market in many Texas neighborhoods. That said, I work hard to sell homes faster than that.
You may cancel your listing at any time.
If you choose to cancel early, a $895 cancellation fee applies. This fee helps cover initial marketing and administrative costs associated with onboarding your listing. If you decide to relist with me in the future, the $895 fee is credited back at closing.
This approach gives sellers flexibility without locking them into long-term contracts, while ensuring upfront work and expenses are handled fairly.
How is the paperwork handled?
All client paperwork is completed electronically through a secure eSignature platform, making the process quick, seamless, and hassle-free.
At closing, we also offer a mobile notary service for out-of-town clients.
Where do you list homes?
I represent a wide range of property types—including homes, condos, land, short-term rentals, investment properties, and urban infill developments—all listed on the MLS with full-service representation. Below is a map highlighting my core service areas.

Selling your home doesn't have to be complicated. If you're ready to save thousands on commission while still getting full-service representation, let's connect.
