Lex HTX Realtor

Magnolia, Texas! My clients that leased with me last year called me up and said: “Alexis we don’t want to rent anymore, we’re ready to purchase!” It took us a week to find their home 😊 and now we’re expected to close at the end of October! Right in time for the Holidays.

The 4th Quarter is looking Mighty Good! TGBTG!

🏡✈️ FROM MARYLAND TO TEXAS… AND UNDER CONTRACT IN TWO WEEKS! 🔑✨

My client found me on TikTok and reached out because she was preparing to relocate from Maryland to Texas. She needed more than someone to simply open doors—she needed someone here in Texas who could help manage the process while she was hundreds of miles away.

And this is where I’ve really enjoyed putting my Project Management experience to work. Because relocation real estate has a LOT of moving pieces.

I’ve been coordinating with the lender, builder, title company, and construction manager, staying on top of deadlines, scheduling walkthroughs, monitoring progress, asking questions, and making sure everyone stays on the same page.

Because my client has enough to worry about with moving her life from one state to another.

By God’s might, I’m holding all the moving pieces together so that all she has to do is fly into Texas and pick up the keys to her beautiful NEW HOME!🥹🔑❤️

THIS is why I love what I do.

I’m not just here to help you find a house. I’m here to help manage the journey. So, if TikTok brought this across your screen and you’ve been thinking about relocating to Houston or the surrounding areas, consider this your sign. 👀

You don't have to already live in Texas to start your home search.

🏡 THINK YOU DON'T NEED A REALTOR® WHEN BUYING NEW CONSTRUCTION? THINK AGAIN.

Let me show you why buyer representation matters.

This new construction home was listed at $343,790.

My buyer is now under contract for:

🔥 $299,000 purchase price
🔥 $12,500 toward closing costs

That's $44,790 below the builder's asking price... PLUS closing cost assistance.

But here's the part I really want buyers to understand:

The builder's asking price isn't automatically the home's market value. Before advising my clients on what to offer, part of my job is evaluating the numbers: comparable sales, competing inventory, builder incentives, days on market, financing options, and how much negotiating room may exist.

Because sometimes the question isn't:

"What incentive is the builder offering?"

The better question is:

"What does the market say this home is actually worth and what else can we negotiate?" 👀

The builder has a sales representative protecting their interests.

You deserve someone protecting yours.

And please don't assume because it's new construction that the price isn't negotiable. Depending on the builder, community, inventory and market conditions, we may be able to negotiate:

💰 Sales price
💰 Closing-cost assistance
💰 Rate-buydown funds
💰 Upgrades
💰 Appliances
💰 Lot premiums
💰 Other incentives

Every transaction is different and nothing is guaranteed, but walking into the builder's office without your own representation can mean leaving money on the table.

If you're thinking about buying new construction, call your REALTOR® before you visit the model home. Let us do what we're there to do:

Research. Compare. Negotiate. Protect. 🏡🌱

I asked chat to describe me like you’re trying to warn someone before they meet me. Here’s what chat said:

You thought you were meeting one woman and accidentally subscribed to the premium package 😂

“First, do not mistake sweet for simple. She’s warm, funny, sentimental, and will probably make you feel comfortable pretty quickly. But meanwhile, she is observing EVERYTHING. Your tone changed? Clocked it. Your story doesn’t quite match what you said three weeks ago? Filed away. You said you were going to do something and didn’t? Oh, she remembers. 😭

She’s a dreamer with a business plan. You’re going to hear about real estate, a book, a digital product, a business system, something God showed her, a marketing idea, and probably three additional companies she plans to launch eventually. Do not ask, ‘So what do you do?’ unless you have 20 minutes.

She also has this dangerous combination of being deeply emotional AND analytical. She will feel something intensely and then conduct a full internal investigation into why she felt it. There are exhibits. There are timelines. There may be supporting documentation. “

A home that was under contract is now terminated. This is the part of real estate that doesn’t always make it to social media.

I love posting the “UNDER CONTRACT!” 🎉 and “SOLD!” 🔑 moments, but sometimes a transaction gets to the inspection and negotiation stage where the buyer and seller simply cannot reach terms that work for both parties.

In this case, my buyer’s inspection revealed major repair concerns. We gave the seller an opportunity to address them, but ultimately, the seller wasn’t willing to make the repairs my buyer needed to feel comfortable moving forward.

And that’s when my job becomes even more important. 💗

I educate my buyers on:
✔️ What’s a normal maintenance item
✔️ What may be worth negotiating
✔️ What could become a major expense
✔️ What they can reasonably take on after closing
✔️ And when walking away may be the better financial decision

I’ll negotiate hard for my clients, but I’ll never convince someone to buy a house just so we can make it to the closing table.

My buyer made the decision that was right for HER. She terminated within her contractual protections, her earnest money is being returned, and now…

✨ WE’RE ON TO THE NEXT ONE!✨

If you live in Navasota or you’ve been thinking about buying here… you need to see these numbers.

Navasota is growing, and the housing numbers are giving us something to talk about.

Over the last 12 months, the average sale price was about $273,530

There are currently 62 homes for sale!

So, if you’re thinking about buying, selling, message me NAVASOTA, and let’s talk about what these numbers mean for you

🏡 Another Happy Client... Another Step Closer to Homeownership! 🔑✨

Congratulations to my clients on moving into their beautiful new home today! 🎉

While this lease is temporary, their long-term goal is homeownership—and we're already working on the plan to get them there. Over the next several months, we'll focus on improving their credit, strengthening their financial profile, and preparing them to purchase a home they can truly call their own.

This is exactly why I love what I do. Sometimes the first step isn't buying a house—it's creating a strategy that puts you in the best position to buy when the time is right.

📅 As we begin the third quarter of the year, who's still looking for a place to call home?

Whether you're:
🏠 Looking to lease
🔑 Ready to purchase
📈 Working on your credit
💰 Curious about down payment assistance

I'd love the opportunity to help you create a plan that fits your goals.
