Find a Houston home that works for you.

Who we help

Buyers come to CGP from a few common starting points: relocating into Houston for work or family, upgrading to a larger home in the same area, looking at new construction in growing communities like Katy or Cypress, or planning a first investment property. The buyer process looks different for each, but the principle is the same, you should understand the costs and timing before you decide.

How the buyer process works with us

• Strategy call (15–30 minutes). We walk through what you're trying to do, your timeline, your budget, and the neighborhoods or property types you want to consider. No commitment.
• Pre-approval coordination. If you don't already have a lender, we connect you with two trusted local options to compare. You stay in control of the choice.
• Refine your search. We set up alerts based on your criteria and walk you through 2–3 listings to see which features matter most to you.
• Showings + offers. We tour with you, give honest takes on what we're seeing, and write offers built around your timeline and what comparable homes have actually sold for.
• Under contract through close. We coordinate inspections, appraisal, and lender updates, and help you prepare for closing.

Houston market guidance

Houston isn't one market, it's several. The buyer experience in Cypress is different from Katy, which is different from Spring or Sugar Land. Inventory, price per square foot, school-district boundaries, commute, flood history, and HOA terms all vary. We help you compare them against your priorities. Verify school assignments for a specific address with the district and review district information at txschools.gov.

New construction

Buying new construction in Houston has real upside, new systems, builder warranties, and modern layouts. You also need to review builder contracts that favor the builder, walk-through standards that vary, and conditions attached to incentives. In most Houston-metro builder deals the builder pays the buyer agent; we review the written agreement required for your showing or representation, including any compensation, before proceeding. We share our experience with the builders and communities you are considering.

Physician buyers

MD/DO/DDS/PharmD buyers have specific needs, match-day timelines, residency-to-attending transitions, doctor-loan structuring, and custom builds near the Texas Medical Center. Hien Le and Alice Liang support physician buyers at Physician Buyers.

Relocation support

If you're moving to Houston from another state or country, we handle the parts that get hard from a distance: virtual tours, neighborhood walk-through videos, school district context, and timing the purchase around your actual move date. Multilingual support (Vietnamese, Mandarin, Cantonese) for clients who prefer it.

Financing preparation

A pre-approval letter isn't the same as financing readiness. We'll walk through how lenders actually look at your file, what might surface in underwriting, and what cash you'll need at closing beyond the down payment. We want you to know what still needs lender approval and what to prepare next.

Homes with rental potential

Looking at a home with rental potential, an ADU possibility, or house-hacking? We can apply a basic investment lens to a primary residence search, cash flow projections, market rent reality, and what makes a property hard to rent or sell later. If you're a full investor, our Invest page goes deeper.

What it costs

Buyer representation in Texas is typically paid by the seller through the listing agreement. We'll walk you through the specifics before you sign anything, so you understand exactly how we're compensated and what (if anything) is owed by you under different scenarios.
