The Agent Match service itself is FREE. Once you are connected to a Buyer’s agent and you feel comfortable moving forward with them, you can sign a standard Buyer’s Representation Agreement with them to represent you for your upcoming purchase.

While there are no set fees for real estate agency services in Texas, we tend to see our in-house and third-party partner agents charging around 3% of the Purchase price for their services but please note that this fee is often times paid for by the Seller.

When you use either our Agent Match or Full-Service Buyer Program, you will also receive 2 special free bonus services:

BONUS 1 = MOVING COORDINATOR SERVICE (4 HOURS)
We provide you with 4 Hours of access to our professional Moving Coordinator! Once a purchase contract has been signed, she will immediately work with you to understand your moving and packing needs and can help you with any of the following, even if you are moving from out-of-state:

**Obtain Rates and Quotes from Moving Companies
**Verify Insurance of Selected Mover
**Arrange for Packing of Specialty Items like Pianos, Antiques etc
**Arrange for Pick-ups of Items for Donations and Trash
**Research and provide a List of Utility Providers for your new home
**Advanced Packing systems to easily identify items
**Can meet Movers or Utility Providers at your new Property
**Can Organize, Schedule and Oversee your entire move for you
**Optional Full end-to-end Packing and Moving Solutions

It’s up to you to choose how you’d like your professional Moving Coordinator to spend the 4 Hour allotment of time you are provided by mixing and matching the above options or even creating new options based on your own specific needs. Please keep in mind there is NO obligation to use any of the movers they find for you as this optional service is designed simply to help you save time, money and stress.

Also please note that you can purchase additional hours at the rate of $100/hour if you desire more complete care. In fact, our Moving Coordinator can even execute full end-to-end in-house packing and moving solutions with her own fleet of trucks and crews for those who wish to move cross-country without ever touching their own belongings! Regardless of what options you choose, your first 4 hours of this professional service are FREE, thanks to HillCountryHomes.com.

BONUS 2 = SERVICE PROVIDER HOTLINE (2 YEARS)
When your purchase closes, you will receive access to our Service Provider Hotline for 2 Years. This hotline allows you to make individual requests to us to find contractors for various property projects. Whether you need a fence guy in Lampasas, a tiny home builder in Wimberley or a concrete specialist in Boerne, our team will canvas our existing contacts and databases to seek out a property improvement service provider for you. This relieves you of the stress many people have regarding property projects when being located outside of the city. We have extensive networks and experience with these types of providers and can help you transform your new property in a wide variety of ways. Some common needs we can assist with include:

Your Agent will be matched based upon several factors, focusing on the geographic area of interest you select using our Zone Map as well as other factors such as Property Type expertise. This experienced licensed agent will know the local market in the zone you select in order to provide you with the very best advice and opinions.

While HillCountryHomes.com is a licensed realty group, we rely upon both our in-house agents and 3 rd -party agents from other firms in order to fulfill your needs. As such we will either match you to an in-house agent OR to an expert in our 3 rd -party referral network, depending upon your specific needs.

You are certainly free to purchase a property in Texas without an agent but in our opinion, that’s like running through a field of landmines. Texas has unique real estate laws and it’s critical to understand both the Seller’s and your legal obligations.

It’s also critical to understand that if you contact a property for sale in Texas without being represented, the Seller’s Agent you will be talking to has a fiduciary duty to serve that Seller’s best interest at your expense. Therefore, if you reveal ANY personal or confidential info whatsoever, they have a legal duty to provide that info to their client, potentially hurting your negotiating position substantially.

The best protection is to always seek your own Buyer’s Agent first before inquiring on specific properties. The Selling agent will know you’re an active, qualified and professionally represented buyer and will not have any wiggle room to play games at your expense. Make sure you have a dedicated partner on YOUR team whose only job is to protect and assist YOU.

Simply put, local agents have the required Geographic Competency: they know the lifeblood of the community and therefore have more valuable knowledge and advice than an out-of-area agent. They are professional property finders and therefore often know key things like off-market and Coming Soon Listings, local trends and issues affecting contracts, and local upcoming city projects that may affect values in the near future. In addition, in small Hill Country towns in particular, they may even personally know the actual sellers or neighbors!

Do not just hire a “Hill Country” agent as Hill Country Texas is 31,000 square miles, which is larger than 12 U.S. States! Therefore it is highly unlikely an expert in the Boerne market is also an expert in the Burnet market as they’re almost 2 hours apart and have completely different features and communities. As the single biggest regret of Hill Country homebuyers is choosing the wrong town due to not knowing the vast area well enough, we feel strongly that the number one key to success is first defining a local area within Hill Country and THEN finding a local agent within that specific area.

We can assist you in finding an agent that specializes in the following property types of interest: 

**Raw Land
**Partially-improved Land
**Single Family Residence
**Condos/Townhouses
**Duplex/Triplex/Quadplex
**Farm & Ranch Properties

Just let us know! While we make our best efforts to find the right match for you, not every match is a perfect fit. If for any reason you’re not satisfied with the agent we matched you, we will be happy to find a better match for you.

Call or text us at 1-888-310-1888! HillCountryHomes.com is both a realty service for active Buyers AND a pressure-free consulting service for those who are interested in moving to Hill Country, but with no urgent or defined timeline in mind.
