Without Overpaying
I'm Silvia Poulin. I live in Goodland, south of Mansfield, and I work Mansfield, Midlothian, and Waxahachie street by street. You get comps, honest pricing, and an agent who answers the phone.
Buyer's Agent
What You Actually Get
I came from financial tech, so I price deals with comps and numbers, not gut feel. More about Silvia.
Offers Built on Comps
I pull recent sales, days on market, and list-to-sale ratios before you write an offer. Strong bid, not a blind overpay.
New Construction Help
I represent you, not the builder. Register me on day one, then we push for incentives, upgrade pricing, and contract terms worth signing.
Off-Market Leads
Through BK Real Estate's investor network, I sometimes hear about Mansfield, Midlothian, and Waxahachie homes before they hit the MLS.
Thinking About New Construction?
The sales agent in the model home works for the builder, not you. Tour alone first and you can lose the right to your own agent. Bring me on day one. See current Mansfield new-construction builders and pricing.
- Ask for incentives and closing-cost credits the model won't volunteer
- Push upgrade pricing toward builder cost, not design-center retail
- Review the 40–60 page builder contract before you sign

From a Real Closing
I had a buyer on a pool home that had been on the market almost two months. We came in a little low on the asking price and still got $10,000 in concessions. That covered his closing costs, so all he brought to closing was his down payment.

Buyer FAQs
Get answers to the questions we hear most from home buyers in Mansfield, Midlothian, and Waxahachie.
Do I need my own agent when buying new construction?
Yes. Bring your agent on the first visit. The model-home sales agent works for the builder. Your own agent negotiates incentives, upgrade pricing, and contract terms. Tour alone first and you may lose the right to representation.
What areas do you serve?
I focus on South DFW — especially Mansfield, Midlothian, and Waxahachie. Not sure which city fits? Compare the six South DFW suburbs or read the Mansfield vs Midlothian comparison.
How much does a buyer's agent cost?
In most deals, the seller pays the buyer agent's commission. That usually means no separate check from you for my fee — I'll still spell out the written buyer agreement before we start.
Are there first-time buyer programs in Texas?
Texas offers 6+ state and local programs with up to 5% down payment assistance and grants up to $50,000 from Tarrant County. Most require a 620-640 credit score and income below 80% AMI. Read our first-time home buyer guide for Texas for every program, requirement, and real cost example.
What if I need to sell my current home first?
If you need to sell before you buy, I handle both sides so timing and contingencies stay in one place. Seller services or book a strategy call.
What's the South DFW market like right now?
Recent Redfin medians (three months ending June 2026): about $382K in Red Oak (68 days on market) and about $490K in Mansfield (51 days). Numbers move monthly. Read our South DFW market report for city-by-city context, then confirm current comps before you offer.
