Q: I’ve decided to look for a house by myself. Real estate agents cost too much and I have plenty of experience negotiating on other things. Where does a first time home buyer start looking?

A: The first place that I would go looking is the Houston Texas real estate MLS. MLS stands for multiple listing service, and it’s what the real estate agents use to find your house. In some cases you can find a Houston Texas real estate MLS for free, and in others you have to pay. Either way, though, the Houston Texas real estate MLS will be cheaper than the real estate agent.
