Why Choose Shelley Broussard as Your Houston Home Buyer's Agent

Looking for a buyer's agent in Friendswood, League City, Pearland, or Houston? You need more than someone who just unlocks doors. You need an advocate, a communicator, and an expert negotiator who puts YOUR interests first.

Here's why buyers choose to work with me—and why they keep referring their friends and family.

What Sets Me Apart

Communication You Can Actually Count On

Buying a home shouldn't feel like you're in the dark. From our first conversation to the day you get your keys (and beyond), I keep you informed at every single step:

• Daily updates during critical negotiation periods
• Quick response times to your calls, texts, and emails
• Proactive communication—you'll know what's happening before you have to ask
• Available when you need me, including evenings and weekends
• Clear explanations of every document, deadline, and decision point

You'll never wonder "What's going on with my house?" because I'll already have told you.

Back-End Support from Contract to Close

The real work happens after your offer is accepted. While you're celebrating, I'm managing:

• Reviewing reports line-by-line
• Negotiating repairs or credits based on inspection findings
• Managing appraisal process and addressing any valuation concerns
• Tracking all deadlines so nothing falls through the cracks
• Communicating with lenders, title companies, and sellers' agents daily
• Problem-solving issues before they become YOUR problems
• Final walk-through coordination to ensure the home is exactly as promised

I'm detail-oriented because the details matter. One missed deadline or overlooked clause could cost you thousands.

Proven Track Record: 20+ Years, 140+ Five-Star Reviews

Numbers don't lie:

• 20+ years of Houston real estate experience
• $11-18 million in annual sales volume (last 8 years)
• 140+ online reviews from satisfied clients
• Multiple professional designations: TRLP, ABR, SRS, SRES, RENE
• Native Houstonian with insider market knowledge

My clients don't just close—they close confidently, knowing they got the best possible deal.

Strong Negotiation Gets You More for Your Money

Anyone can write an offer. Not everyone can negotiate like a pro:

• Strategic offer pricing based on current market data
• Creative negotiation tactics beyond just price (closing costs, repairs, inclusions)
• Protecting your earnest money with smart contingencies
• Leveraging inspection findings to save you thousands
• Builder negotiations on new construction upgrades and incentives
• Navigating multiple offer situations to position you competitively

My job is to get you the most house for your money—and I take that seriously.

Your Best Interest Always Comes First

If a house isn't right for you, I'll tell you—even if it means starting the search over:

• Honest advice and opinions about properties, neighborhoods, and value
• Pointing out red flags you might miss (foundation issues, flood zones, HOA concerns)
• Asking the tough questions to help you make sound decisions
• No pressure tactics—ever. This is YOUR home, not my commission
• Long-term thinking about resale value and future needs
• All the tools and information you need to decide confidently

I'm not here to sell you A house. I'm here to help you find YOUR home.

Top 10 FAQ: Working with a Buyer's Agent

1. Do I have to pay my buyer's agent?

In most cases, the seller pays your buyer's agent compensation, meaning my services typically cost you nothing out of pocket. I'll explain the compensation structure upfront so there are no surprises.

2. What's the difference between a buyer's agent and a seller's agent?

A buyer's agent represents YOUR interests exclusively. A seller's agent (or listing agent) represents the seller. Never work with a seller's agent thinking they're helping you—their job is to get the best deal for the seller, not you.

3. Can I tour homes without an agent?

You can, but you shouldn't. When you show up to open houses or builder model homes without representation, you're dealing directly with the seller's agent—who works for the seller, not you. Having me with you ensures someone is protecting your interests from the first showing.

4. How do you help me find homes?

I set you up on an MLS search that automatically sends new listings matching your criteria. I also preview properties, provide neighborhood insights, alert you to off-market opportunities, and help you understand true market value—not just list price.

5. Will you tell me if you think a house is a bad deal?

Absolutely. My reputation is built on honesty, not my compensation. If a house is overpriced, has red flags, or isn't right for your situation, I'll tell you straight. Your trust is worth more than any single sale.

6. How do you communicate during the buying process?

However works best for you—text, call, email, or all three. I provide regular updates and respond quickly to your questions. During critical periods (inspections, negotiations), expect daily communication.

7. What happens after my offer is accepted?

The work begins! I help you coordinate your inspection, review the report with you, negotiate any needed repairs or credits, monitor the appraisal, track all deadlines, communicate with your lender and title company, and handle any issues that come up. You stay informed at every stage.

8. How do you handle multiple offer situations?

I help you craft a competitive offer that stands out—not just on price, but on terms that matter to sellers (flexibility, clean financing, quick closing). I leverage my experience to position you strategically without overpaying.

9. Do you work with first-time buyers or experienced buyers?

Both! I specialize in first-time buyers who need extra guidance and education, but I also work with experienced buyers, investors, and those buying luxury or new construction homes. My communication style and attention to detail benefit everyone.

10. What if something goes wrong during the transaction?

Issues happen—failed inspections, appraisal problems, title defects, last-minute lender requirements. With 20+ years of experience, I've seen it all and know how to solve problems quickly. You'll have an experienced professional handling challenges so you don't have to.
