Bee Cave isn’t just another suburb—it has its own community, market dynamics, and buyer profile. You want an agent who knows:

• The neighborhoods inside and out (Falconhead, The Uplands, Bella Colinas,  Provence,etc.)

2. Track Record and Reputation

Past performance isn’t everything, but it’s a good indicator of experience and negotiation skill. Ask potential agents:

• How many homes have you sold in the last 12 months?

• What’s your average days on market?

• Can I see recent testimonials or reviews? Is their profile current?

You can also check platforms  like Google Reviews.

3. Marketing Strategy

In today’s competitive market, a sign in the yard isn’t enough. Your agent should have a clear plan to attract buyers—including online.

Ask:

"What’s your digital marketing strategy?"
"Will you use professional photography, video, or social media?"
"How will you make my listing stand out?"

4. Communication Style

Buying or selling a home is a big deal—you should be receiving regular updates, straight + forward answers, and someone who respects your time.
