Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a real estate agent to buy a home in Georgetown?

Yes, you can buy without an agent, but a licensed professional handles negotiations, paperwork and market analysis. Your buyer representation agreement spells out how that agent is paid. Sellers sometimes agree to cover it.

How are commissions structured in Texas?

Commissions are negotiable. Since August 2024, buyers sign a written agreement with their agent before touring homes, and that agreement states how the agent is paid. Ask any agent to explain the fee in writing.

What makes a good Georgetown agent?

A good agent knows local zoning, school districts, upcoming infrastructure projects and has a track record of closing deals close to list price.

Can I view homes virtually?

Yes, many Georgetown agents offer 3‑D tours and drone video so you can explore properties without stepping foot inside.

How do I compare an agent’s performance?

Look for disclosed metrics like average days on market, price‑to‑list ratio and client reviews. If an agent hasn’t shared these numbers, ask directly during your interview.

Is it worth hiring a specialist for new‑construction homes?

If you’re buying a new build, an agent with builder relationships can negotiate upgrades, warranties and closing timelines more effectively than a generalist.
