My mortgage company choose one for me based on using an FHA loan. Get one who knows what kind of mortgage you’re using, they know what will and won’t pass for the mortgage.

Although I've not bought or sold a house using her (yet) I really like Sabrina West, she's really down to Earth and no bullshit.

Wooten is your best bet for cheap, but near campus there is also Bryan properties, TLC, and At Home. You may get better luck by driving around, writing the property names you see and looking them up, since there are so many new ones lately. However, In my experience, the affordable places near campus can be hit or miss when it comes to how well the property is maintained, and some property owners can be predatory to student renters.

This is the true value they bring to the table. Also contractors. I've seen a good realtor bring in a contractor that fixed major structural problems on two different houses within a week of being identified, for cheaper than market rate.

Meet with several; find one that's right for you.

I'd recommend someone who has been in real estate in this area for a while (5-8years min), experience and relationships with bankers, title Co, other agents, and inspectors goes a long ways.

There were tons of people who decided to call themselves realtors during the height of covid who don't have much experience, and some who moved here during the "work from home" boom we've been seeing that haven't been around long enough to learn to pronounce Kearney, yet alone develop connections; Be vigilant.

The Wilken team at Reece Nichols has always done me good; really went to bat for me when a deal went sideways. Ive always felt like they're listening and being honest; but there are plenty of good ones around
