Meet Pete Seider

Your local Zillow Premier Agent for Austin, city-wide.

Pete Seider, Central Texas real estate advisor

I got my start in real estate in 2011 in Dallas, then moved to Austin in 2014 to sell new construction directly for builders. Over the next several years on that side of the table, I closed more than $150 million in transactions and helped more than 500 families into new homes across Austin and the suburbs around it. I became a licensed Texas REALTOR® in 2019. My approach since then is straightforward: service first, a clear process, and staying focused on your goals rather than the transaction. I run this business with my wife and business partner, Eugenia Caballero, and we are parents to two daughters, which is a big part of why we treat every client like family.

Austin, city-wide

Austin is not a market I studied from the outside, it is where I have actually lived, near the Domain, off Parmer, south of the river, and in between, with our family continuing to grow here. That same ground-level view extends across the suburbs ringing the city, because selling new construction for builders took me to nearly all of them. What you are hiring is not just familiarity with one neighborhood, it is real estate expertise applied city-wide every day, inventory levels, absorption rates, and the macro and micro trends moving Austin and each of these suburbs individually. Years on the builder side made me a sharp, disciplined negotiator, focused on protecting your dollar at every stage of a deal, wherever in Central Texas it happens to be.

The advantage

I treat clients like family. That is simply how I run this business, service first, always. I track this market every day, inventory, absorption rates, and pricing trends, using data and technology, including AI-driven analysis, through New Home Dispatch, the independent research publication I run, to spot shifts before they show up anywhere else. None of that means anything without a clear process: before anything else, I get clear with you on your goals, then build a straightforward plan to reach them, so you always know what is happening and why.

Looking at new construction specifically

New construction is still one of my specialties. I know which parts of a builder's contract are standard and which are actually negotiable, and their onsite agent represents the builder, not you. Registering with your own agent before your first visit to a model home is usually what protects your ability to have representation at all, at typically no extra cost to you.

I work alongside Eugenia Caballero, a bilingual, licensed Texas REALTOR® (License RE673651) with her own builder-acquisitions background, for Spanish-speaking buyers and relocating families.

Next stepsFrom your showing to your closing table

From your showing to your closing table

Before we meet
  • Your showing. No commitment, just a real look and an honest read on the home.
  • Build your game plan, then keep looking. So we get clear on your goals and your numbers, and we keep looking, on Zillow and off it, until it is actually the right fit.
To the closing table
  • Offer, option period, inspection. A competitive offer priced from real comparable sales, then your chance to verify everything before you are locked in.
  • Closing. Typically 30 to 45 days from an accepted offer. I walk you through every step of it.

  • Fast response. Most showing requests get a same-day reply, often within the hour.
  • Sharp on negotiation. I track this market closely enough to know what is standard and what is actually negotiable, builder incentives included.
  • No cost to you as a buyer in the vast majority of transactions. Commission is customarily paid by the seller, not the buyer.
? Do I have to sign anything at the showing?
No, not for a first showing. Texas law was recently updated to protect buyers, once we go beyond that first look and I start actively helping with your goals, I will ask you to sign a short, simple agreement. It protects your right to representation, and it is nothing you need to worry about right now.
? Does using an agent cost me anything?
In most transactions, no. Commission is customarily paid by the seller, so having your own representation typically costs you nothing extra.
? What if I already have an agent?
Just let me know. Your showing will be credited to your agent, no conflict, no hard feelings.
? Can I still look at other homes, on Zillow or elsewhere?
Yes, always. I am not exclusive unless and until you decide you want me to be.
