Advice for Homebuyers from David Garcia Buying a home is one of the most exciting—and sometimes overwhelming—decisions you’ll ever make. With over 24 years of experience guiding buyers in Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend, here’s the advice I share with my clients: 1. Get Pre-Approved Early Before you start looking at homes, meet with a trusted lender to get pre-approved. This not only tells you how much house you can afford, but it also strengthens your offer when you find the right property. In today’s market, sellers want to know you’re ready and qualified. 2. Define Your Needs vs. Wants It’s easy to get distracted by beautiful upgrades or flashy listings. Focus first on location, size, and layout—the things you can’t change. Then, separate your “must-haves” from “nice-to-haves.” This clarity helps you move confidently when you find a match. 3. Partner with the Right Agent The market is competitive, and the right real estate advisor can give you the edge. My team and I don’t just open doors—we guide you with data-driven insights, negotiation strategies, and local expertise so you don’t overpay and you don’t miss opportunities. 4. Don’t Skip Inspections Even if a home looks perfect, always invest in inspections. Foundation, roof, HVAC, plumbing—these big-ticket items matter. Inspections help you buy with confidence and avoid costly surprises later. 5. Think Long-Term Don’t just buy for today—buy for tomorrow. Consider resale value, schools, commute, and neighborhood growth. A home is both a lifestyle choice and a financial investment. 6. Be Ready to Move Quickly Homes in Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend can sell fast. With a strong plan in place, we’ll make sure you’re prepared to act when the right property hits the market.

Advice for Home Sellers from David Garcia Selling your home is more than just putting a sign in the yard—it’s about strategy, preparation, and positioning yourself for success. With over 24 years of experience helping homeowners in Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend, here’s the advice I give my sellers: 1. Price It Right from the Start The right pricing strategy is critical. Overpricing can cause your home to sit on the market and lose momentum, while underpricing leaves money on the table. My team analyzes the data—recent sales, absorption rates, and buyer demand—to price your home so it attracts strong offers quickly. 2. Make a Strong First Impression Today’s buyers shop online first, and photos, videos, and 3D tours are their first showing. Declutter, stage, and make minor improvements before photos are taken. A little preparation goes a long way in maximizing your sales price. 3. Understand Your Options Not every seller’s situation is the same. That’s why we offer flexible programs: Guaranteed Sale Program – If your home doesn’t sell, we’ll buy it. Instant Cash Offers – Skip the showings and get a fair offer fast. Full Marketing Exposure – For sellers wanting top dollar, we put your home in front of the widest audience possible. 4. Be Proactive with Repairs Buyers feel more confident when a seller has already addressed—or at least evaluated—big-ticket items like the roof, HVAC, or foundation. Proactive inspections can put you in a stronger negotiating position. 5. Know the Market Real estate is local, and every neighborhood in Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend is different. What works in Padre Island may not apply to Calallen, London ISD, or Rockport. That’s where our local expertise comes in—we guide you based on real numbers, not guesswork. 6. Choose the Right Partner The agent you hire matters. My team and I are one of the top-rated real estate teams in the area, with 200+ 5-star reviews from past clients. We’re not just here to list your home—we’re here to get it sold with the least stress and the best results.

I’ve had the privilege of working with all types of clients—from first-time buyers and move-up buyers to seasoned investors and those searching for commercial properties. On the selling side, I’ve guided first-time sellers, move-up sellers, and homeowners with multiple properties, as well as handled complex cash offer transactions. Many sellers come to me after their home didn’t sell with another agent—sometimes after listing with a friend or trying on their own. With our proven system, we’ve consistently turned those situations around, selling homes faster and for more money than before.

One of the transactions I’m most proud of involved a home that had been sitting on the market for nearly a year and a half. The sellers were frustrated and discouraged, especially since the property needed extensive repairs. We stepped in with our Guaranteed Sale Program, giving them peace of mind that we were prepared to purchase the home with a cash offer if needed. Instead, through our proven system, we were able to sell the home faster and for more money than they expected. The sellers were thrilled—not only because their home finally sold, but because they were able to move closer to their grandchildren up north and start a new chapter in life. For me, it was humbling and rewarding to guide them through such a challenging process and turn it into a true win-win for everyone involved.

I began my real estate career in 2001 with a strong desire to provide buyers and sellers with the kind of systems, strategies, and guidance that create real results. With my outgoing personality and passion for working with people, I’ve always loved helping clients find solutions to their challenges—whether it’s buying their first home, moving up, or selling a property that didn’t sell the first time. From the beginning, I’ve built my business on an upfront, clear, and transparent approach, which consistently leads to great outcomes for my clients. That commitment to results and service has earned us over 200 five-star reviews, along with the trust of clients who return to us again and again—and refer their friends and family.
