If the home is all electric, how do we check that they're eligible to pay for a gas meter to be installed?

If the property is in Houston, Centerpoint manages the infrastructure. Contact them - theyll be able to tell you if a gas line nearby the property and what it will take to get you connected. See link below.

How to pursue my commision legally if my clients bought a house with another or without a realtor?

Hey Evelyn, Great Question! If you provided your client with the Information About Brokerage Services (IABS) form and they signed a buyer representation agreement, start by reviewing the contract for relevant terms...Then, consult your broker to determine the best course of action and whether you may be entitled to a commission. I will also reach out to any listings before showing and have the listing agent send me in writing (email or text message) what they are offering as a commission. I hope this helps!

How do clients leave reviews for agents?

Hey Kelly! Once you have completed a transaction, HAR will email you an invitation to send your client a link to leave a review for you, which will be published on your HAR client rating system on your home page. Go to your members-only portal, and on the right side, about halfway down, you will see the blue "Client experience rating" link, which you can email to any of your clients who haven't yet completed one for you.

Hi HAR! Any recommendations for a commercial agent/ Broker in a Tulsa, OK?

Cathy Craig w/EXP. She is in an office in Oklahoma City but lives and works in Tulsa. Former TX agent here in Houston for many years. One of our top producing agents works with custom homes as well as resale. (918) 404-7467 Mobile https://www.realtor.com/realestateagents/5f2c6cca2fb8b4001106bf2a

I have a new build home that has a detached garage and a completed apartment above it and need to know if it's considered in the living square footage. The completed apartment has a kitchenette and full restroom.

Yes! This would be considered a living space.

The owner lives in Houston area.

With something this complex, I would talk to your Broker and/or the HAR Legal Hotline, an attorney, etc., to figure out the logistics and requirements for an international property. Best of luck.

Feel free to reach out if that didn't answer your question. 832-552-6169

My house is a 4 bedroom 2 and half baths, why is it showing something else on here?

The listing agent made a typo. Protest the appraisal with the county.

Just curious as to how agents are addressing the situation in when the does not want to pay the buyer's agents commission

If a seller is hesitant to offer buyer agent compensation, my first step is education. I explain how buyer representation works and how compensation can impact buyer interest and overall exposure. Many buyers work with agents and may be limited in what they can afford out of pocket, which can reduce showings if compensation isnt offered.We then review current market conditions. In some markets this strategy may work, but in others, offering competitive compensation can lead to more demand, stronger offers, and better terms. If the seller still chooses not to offer compensation, we discuss alternative strategies such as pricing accordingly, remaining open to negotiating compensation within an offer, and ensuring full transparency from the start. Compensation is always negotiable, and my role is to help the seller make an informed decision that best supports their goals.

how can I get a coupon code

HAR emails $20 coupons to agent frequently. Search from email from communications@har.com or search emails for HAR Coupon like SUMMER2025 and previously SPRING2025

My listing is in option pending. Buyers agent has requested me to add her details on HAR. I can’t figure out where to add the buyers agent name, license number, contact etc

You can add the details below where is ask you when option ends. If you click at the top, it says search for Agent enter their first and last name and click the correct name with correct brokerage and itll pre-fill it in for you. Make sure you click the correct agent cause sometimes theres agents with the same name. Make sure theyre in the same brokerage with the person youve been working with. Hope this helps.

Cindy Scrivner

Cindy Scrivner recommended by Tarye & Micki Roeck/Schmidt. Cindy worked together on a real estate transaction on Jul. 16th, 2018.

“Cindy Scrivner is one of the most helpful people we have ever met We met ... “Cindy Scrivner is one of the most helpful people we have ever met. We met her at an open house. We mentioned that we were just looking because we had a home in another town to sell and needed to wait until that happened. She took our information and we emailed back and forth. She looked at the listing and gave us ideas on what to do to promote the property. We had listed with 2 previous realtors and had little interest. Not only did Cindy give us recommendations on what to do, she drove all the way to Corpus Christi, stayed 3 days with us, painted and decluttered the house. She also made a recommendation on another realtor which we listed with. She has gone above and beyond. We would most certainly recommend her to anyone, either buying, selling or both. She is so easy to work with and really takes it upon herself to do what she can to help. We would HIGHLY recommend Cindy Scrivner to anyone!!" Read more

Cindy Scrivner recommended by Nate Brewm. Cindy helped buy a property on Jan. 23rd, 2019.

“Our realtor was Cindy Scrivner Cindy consistently went above and beyond to not only help ... “Our realtor was Cindy Scrivner. Cindy consistently went above and beyond to not only help us sell our home quickly, but also find a new one. Her vast knowledge of the Houston real estate scene was apparent from day one. She always made sure that we knew exactly what type of house we were looking at and put the needs of our family of 5 ahead of her commission, a rare trait in this profession. I commend her and JLA Realty for their professionalism and the royal treatment all around! 5 stars!" Read more

Kerrie Haskett

Kerrie Haskett recommended by Jordan Hutchison. Kerrie helped buy a property on Apr. 30th, 2026.

“I am writing to provide my highest recommendation for Kerrie Haskett After being matched through ... “I am writing to provide my highest recommendation for Kerrie Haskett. After being matched through another military program with a realtor who failed to provide virtual tours despite promising to do so, I found Kerrie through Homes for Heroes. Kerrie hit the ground running immediately. She showed us homes virtually, scheduled inspections, and consistently checked in with the title company, lender, and seller’s agent to ensure everything stayed on track. We closed yesterday; seeing the home in person for the first time, it was exactly as expected. To Kerrie, we were not just another transaction. She truly cares about her clients and their families. If you are looking for a dedicated and proactive realtor, I highly recommend her services." Read more
