Time to go house hunting
Once your agent is in place and your finances are prepared, start viewing properties.
Explore
Drive the neighborhoods you’re considering and review online listings. When you find a property you like, your agent can arrange showings and advise on long-term resale value.
Narrow your search
Work with your agent to set criteria: bedrooms, baths, yard, school zones, and other must-haves. Clear priorities keep the search efficient.
Make the offer
Your agent will analyze comparable sales and costs to craft a competitive offer. They’ll draft the purchase agreement and include contingencies like warranties, escrow, and title provisions. Your agent advises on terms, but you determine the final price and conditions.
Call us at 254.213.3290 or complete this short form and one of our agents will be in touch.

Tips For Buying
Don’t Max Out Your Budget
Approval for a maximum loan amount doesn’t mean you should spend it all. Reserve funds for closing costs, taxes, repairs, and remodels.
Get To Know The Area
Confirm the neighborhood works for your lifestyle — proximity to schools, shopping, and amenities matters for daily life and resale value.
Don’t Skip The Inspection
Inspections highlight hidden issues, provide negotiation leverage, and give peace of mind.
Get Pre-Approved
A lender pre‑approval signals you’re a serious buyer and strengthens your offer.
Make a List of Deal Breakers
Know what you can live with and what you cannot live without and also those things that can be taken care of with a simple remodel. If you need a 4 bedroom home, don't buy one with 2 that requires a massive addition which can break your budget.
Look At The Age Of Appliances & Other Systems
Some of the most expensive features of a home are Appliances, HVAC, Hot Water Heater, Septic/Well, and Roof. You should pay attention to their age and whether they have required service. You may even be able to get the seller to add a home warranty.
Check For HOA Requirements
Most neighborhoods have HOAs that govern what you can and can't do - be sure you know what the rules are for your neighborhood, and the fees associated with having an HOA. They are usually listed as annual fees.

What Price Range Can I Afford?
Resources For Killeen Home Buyers
The journey to homeownership starts by understanding how much you can afford. One major thing to consider is your down payment, if any. Many consumers believe it's impossible to buy a home without at least 20 percent down. But thanks to various government-sponsored programs, many people can now buy a house with as little as 3.5 percent toward a down payment. Veterans of the U.S. military have zero-down programs available.
