We host the room every month.
Hosts of the Austin Investment Meetup, the city's longest-running gathering for investors, wholesalers, and creative-finance operators. Second Tuesday, every month.
Built deal by deal, since 2018.
We didn't start with a playbook. We started with closings, retail, investor, creative, and turned what we learned into the way we run the brokerage today.
Licensed in Texas
Start selling in Round Rock. Retail buyers, first-time owners, and every deal-blocking question a buyer or seller can ask. Fast school.
Investor-side work
Move into fix-and-flips and rentals alongside retail. Learn the math the market uses, cap rate, CoC, ARV, by actually underwriting deals that had to work.
Creative finance, in practice
Sub-to, seller finance, wraps, novations. Real closings, real docs, real clients who got to the table when the bank said no.
Open Deal Smith Realty
Launch the brokerage: small team, real relationships, the tools we wish every agent had. Round Rock address, Central Texas footprint.
Host the Austin Investment Meetup
Take over hosting of the Austin Investment Meetup, Central Texas's longest-running gathering for investors, wholesalers, and creative-finance operators.
President, NAHREP Austin
Elected president of the Austin chapter of the National Association of Hispanic Real Estate Professionals, the largest minority trade organization in U.S. real estate.
Four rules. Non-negotiable.
Honest math, every time.
If the deal doesn't work, we say so on the first call. We'd rather lose the commission than watch a client lose the house.
More paths than one.
Cash, conventional, seller-finance, sub-to, novation, we put every viable path on the table so you pick the one that actually fits your situation.
Small team, deep network.
We don't scale headcount. We scale relationships, investors, lenders, title, and creative-finance operators who actually close.
No jargon, no drip campaigns.
Sub-to, wraps, DSCR, complicated words for simple ideas. We explain them once, plainly, then get back to your deal.
People who pick up the phone.
Small team, real relationships. Every agent runs investor and retail, so whoever answers knows the math and the market.
Questions worth answering straight.
Both. About half our book is primary-residence clients. The investor tooling, calculators, creative-finance paths, applies to everyone; buyers and sellers just tend to use a different slice of it.
Primarily Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Georgetown, Leander, and the greater Austin MSA. For investor clients we'll travel to San Antonio and Waco. Statewide for off-market opportunities.
You tell us the situation, a house, a deal, a portfolio question. We pull comps if the address is known, outline two or three paths that could work, and tell you honestly which one we'd pick and why. Zero pressure, no follow-up drip.
Two ways, concretely. One, we run creative financing in-house, sub-to, seller-finance, wraps, novations, so deals that die at a bigger shop often live here. Two, the tools you're using on this site (comps requests, calculators) are the same ones we use internally. No black box, no gatekeeping.
Selectively. We're not a churn-and-burn shop. If you're an agent who wants to run investor deals, creative finance, or technology-forward transactions, send a note.
Thirty minutes. No obligation.
Tell us about the deal, the house, or the portfolio. We'll tell you, honestly, whether we can help and how.
