A TV producer came to me about the way we do this.
So we're making a show. I'm following 12 first-time buyers across DFW, San Antonio, and Austin through the whole thing — start to finish, including the weeks it goes sideways.

How this happened
A TV producer reached out about the way we walk first-time buyers through this. The programs nobody mentions. The credit work. The week the first plan falls apart and we go find plan B.
I said yes on one condition. We film the real thing.
Not a highlight reel. Not twelve households who were closing anyway no matter who helped them. The actual process, including the parts most shows leave out.
Most first-time buyers in Texas do this alone, in the dark, off whatever a search engine told them. I've watched it for 24 years. Showing somebody the real path helps a lot more than pretending it's easy.

What you get
Compensated for your time.
Paid per household*
Plus the part that's actually worth more: me in your corner for the whole thing. The programs worth exploring, the credit work if you need it, and somebody telling you the truth when the first plan doesn't work.
* Compensation is specific to selected show participants, is paid per household, and requires a signed written release before filming. Your mortgage lender is your choice — using me or Rapid Mortgage is not required.
Is this you?
Renting in DFW, San Antonio, or Austin, and you'd like to be in a home before the end of 2026. That's the short version.
Pick a time and we'll ask you a few quick things when you book — income, timing, whether you're already working with an agent. Two minutes, tops. Most programs don't require perfect credit or even 5% down. There are 0% down payment programs worth exploring.
