About Elias Wakefield
I help hardworking Denton County families move up with confidence--so you get more house for your money and keep more money in your pocket. If you're buying in Flower Mound, Argyle, Lantana, Double Oak, or Corinth, you've probably felt the squeeze: limited inventory, rising costs, and uncertainty about which homes will hold value through graduation day and beyond. I'm a tenacious, relationship-driven buyer's agent who treats your dollars like my own. With 20+ years in home building and remodels, I spot issues long before an inspector does, and I negotiate from facts--not fluff. Paired with deep relationships with local agents and builders, that means smarter offers, better terms, and fewer surprises for move-up families shopping luxury homes ($600k+). Clients describe me as a hard-worker, a good listener, and relentlessly on their side. My process is simple: we get crystal-clear on what matters most for your family and budget, I surface the right homes (often before the crowd sees them), and I negotiate aggressively to protect your equity. The result? You land the right home in the right neighborhood--and you keep more of your money for the things that really matter. Our GoalLine Real Estate Team (Keller Williams), voted Best in Denton County multiple years running, is built on one belief: Where Heart and Hustle Win the Game. Recognized among the top 0.4% of Realtors nationwide, I bring that same standard to every family I serve. Ready to build a smart game plan for your next move? Let's talk.

FAQ
Get pre-approved with a trusted local lender first so you know your numbers and can act quickly when the right home hits the market. From there, we’ll clarify your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves, watch fresh inventory daily, and tour promptly—speed and preparation win. I’ll arm you with comps and strategy so your offer is strong on both price and terms (financing, timing, option period, and contingencies), while protecting your inspection rights. I also connect you with proven inspectors, insurance pros, and title partners, and keep you ahead of key deadlines so the path from “offer accepted” to “keys in hand” is smooth and low-stress.
Start with a data-driven pricing strategy and a punch-list: declutter, complete minor repairs, enhance curb appeal, and stage key rooms to photograph beautifully. We launch with professional media and targeted marketing to maximize your crucial first week, then manage showings to create momentum. When offers arrive, I evaluate more than the top line—financing strength, appraisal risk, repair requests, lease-back needs, and timeline all matter. My goal is to net you the best overall result with the fewest surprises, keeping you informed at every step through closing.
As the buyer’s agent on the GoalLine Real Estate Team at Keller Williams, I work with first-time buyers, move-up and downsizing families, relocations to North Texas, veterans using VA loans, clients leveraging FHA/USDA programs, new-construction buyers, and investors seeking strong rental or flip opportunities. Many of my clients come by referral—over 90% of my business—which means I’m often helping friends of past clients who value clear communication, honest guidance, and a steady hand through negotiations. Our team has been voted Best in Denton County six years running, and I’m backed by an in-house listing specialist (my aunt) for seamless buy/sell coordination.
A family relocating on a tight timeline needed a four-bed in the Denton/Corinth area with room to grow and a payment that fit comfortably. We pre-approved with a strong local lender, narrowed the search to neighborhoods that matched schools and commute, and moved fast when a well-kept home hit the market. I structured an offer with flexible closing and a short option period, negotiated a seller credit to buy down their rate plus a few repair items, and kept appraisal risk low with strong comps. We closed in 18 days, on time and under budget, and they were grilling in the backyard their first weekend—exactly the smooth landing they hoped for.
I’ve always loved solving problems and helping people make big decisions with confidence. After moving from Portland to Texas and plugging into the community here, I found myself advising friends through their first purchases—everything from budgeting to inspections—and realized this was the work that energized me. I joined the GoalLine Real Estate Team at Keller Williams, learned from top producers (including my aunt, our listing specialist), and focused on serving buyers with a process that turns what can feel overwhelming into a clear, step-by-step win.
Beyond ongoing training through Keller Williams on contracts, negotiation, and risk management, I stay current on local market trends, lender programs (including down-payment assistance, VA, FHA, and USDA), and new-construction processes so clients see their full range of options. I’m obsessive about preparation—clean CMAs, offer strategy tailored to each property, and tight transaction management—backed by a trusted network of lenders, inspectors, title, and insurance partners. That combination of education, systems, and experienced partners lets me anticipate issues early, protect your interests, and keep the experience calm, clear, and on track.
