Real Estate Buying Tips

Get the best real estate agent! I would love to help you buy a great home! I specialize in getting home buyers the RIGHT home in the RIGHT neighborhood at the RIGHT price. My clients love me (read testimonials) because they know I’ve got their back! I watch out for defective homes, over-priced homes, and homes that may be difficult to re-sell when the time comes. I focus on getting you a home that meets your current needs but also is (hopefully) a good long-term investment. I have received the Five-Star Real Estate Agent award for the past nine years because of my client satisfaction ratings. Less than 1 percent of all the agents in the Houston-metro area receive this honor!
  
  
If you haven’t already, then send me your criteria for a house by filling out this online form, so I can set up a custom search for you. Then you will get automated emails when new homes, that match your criteria, hit the market. My custom search is the most accurate search available! No search you have access to (on HAR, Zillow, Realtor, Homes, Redfin, etc.) is better than my search because my search is directly from the MLS (Multiple Listing Service) which is where all the other websites get their data. (The MLS gets it FIRST!) Plus, I can narrow down your search result to the school level (and more!) and filter out less-than-desirable areas for you to save you time and effort. Since I am the local area expert, I know which neighborhoods flood (for example) and can filter those out for you automatically. If you find that you need me to revise your search criteria, just send me a quick email and tell me what change needs to be made.
 
Here is some helpful information to get you started:
 
  • Read what my clients say about me
       
  • IMPORTANT!  Why You Need Your Own Agent
      
  • Information needed to set up the best custom home search available for you 
      
  • Sign up to download my Guide to Sugar Land ‘s Best Neighborhoods (my 170+ page Sugar Land relocation guide) 
      
  • View videos of top Sugar Land neighborhoods on my YouTube channel
      
  • Learn about the importance of schools in your home search
      
  • Read about Sugar Land vs. Katy 
      
  • Learn about my other favorite area (Katy TX)
      
  • See Sugar Land homes for sale sorted by neighborhood, price, school, etc.
  
I personally wrote all this info, photographed the neighborhoods, and put together the videos…this proves I’m a boots-on-the-ground local area expert. I don’t just work here…I live here! What other agent provides all this info?! As a Five-Star real estate agent I provide services that are way above and beyond what a typical real agent provides. (See a sample of the type of house report that I give my clients when they find a home they are thinking about purchasing. No agent in the world does this!)
 
Your home is probably your largest financial investment. Why wouldn’t you want a dedicated, Five-Star agent who is looking out for YOU?!

What I Can Do for You

Sheila Cox Realtor

Candid Advice—I promise to give you candid advice on all homes and areas so you can make the best decisions. I won’t ignore potential defects that can effect your home value or enjoyment.

Local Area Expertise—This isn’t just my business…it’s where I work and live. I will help you find the best location for your home purchase.

Great Data—I have a proprietary House Report to make sure that you get all the data and information you need to make a great home purchase.

Best Home Searches—Yes, you can search on your own, but no other home search available can filter down to the school level…and filter out the subdivisions that may be known to flood.

Easier Process—Moving your family (and possibly changing jobs) is stressful enough! I’m your real estate project manager and will guide you, step-by-step, through the process so you never miss an important deadline.

Network of Experts—My network of experts can make your transition to the area as smooth as possible. Need a painter, electrician, mover, insurance company, etc.? I can help.

How I Work to Protect You

My job is not “just” helping you find a house to buy…I’m helping you buy a house. There are over 100 tasks that I perform for you during the purchasing process! I’m looking out for you every step of the way and keeping my eye on the Listing Agent, the Seller, the builder (if applicable), the lender, the inspector, the title company. I’m on your side because I’m your agent. Not only do I help you find a house, I help with price analysis and negotiation, legal paperwork, inspections, repair negotiations, home warranties,compliance inspections, hazard insurance, surveys, appraisals, title commitment, and so on.            

And take a look at a sample House Report that I do for my clients. NO other agent in the world does this! Check out p. 27 regarding the Flood Map info I provide to you.
