Top 1.4% · 100+ Transactions · $30M+ Closed Real Estate,
Redefined.
This is Temple tonight — every light on the ground is a real closing from the last twelve months. I track all 2,107 of them so you only have to get one right.
Why Temple, why now, and why solo beats a team in a market this tight.
Taylor Dasch is a residential real estate agent (REALTOR®, TREC #0775435) with EG Realty in Temple, Texas — ranked #28 of 2,013 Bell County agents (top 1.4%) with 100+ closed transactions and $30M+ in production. He works with buyers, sellers, buy-and-hold investors, Baylor Scott & White medical relocations, and Fort Hood military families across Temple, Belton, and Bell County — 5.0 stars across 48 Google reviews.
Temple isn’t Austin’s overflow. It’s its own market — 94,000 people, two hospital systems, one Army post, and a $2.4B industrial pipeline reshaping the next decade.
I work solo on purpose. No team funneling your deal to a junior agent. I’ve closed 100+ transactions and $30M+ in production — every contract, every walk-through, every negotiation. The agent you interview is the agent who closes the deal.
Whether you’re relocating for BSW, PCSing from Fort Hood, or underwriting your third rental, you get the same thing: hard numbers, honest negatives, and a plan that holds up to scrutiny. That’s the work.
The city below. The numbers above.
Real Temple closed sales — 1,474 transactions, Central Texas MLS, Jun 2025–May 2026 · the amber lights below are these sales
Twelve months, 1,474 closings, and the median never left the $261K–$296K band. No runaway, no collapse — a disciplined market that rewards informed offers and punishes lazy ones.
Translation: price sharp, negotiate hard — the data backs both sides of that sentence.

The eight questions that decide whether we’re a fit.
Full-time. This is my only career. I’ve closed 100+ transactions and $30M+ in production working solo. Part-time agents lose you negotiating leverage — you don’t want someone checking email between shifts at a day job when a counteroffer lands.
For buyers: in most Temple transactions the seller offers compensation to the buyer’s agent, so many buyers pay nothing out of pocket — and where that’s not the case, we agree on the number in writing before we tour a single home. Military buyers can receive up to 40% of my buyer-side commission back at closing, subject to lender approval. For sellers: my listing fee is negotiable and quoted flat, upfront, after a pricing consult — no junk fees, no surprises at the closing table.
The data says Temple is a balanced, readable market: the median sale price has held inside a $261K–$296K band for twelve straight months (through May 2026), homes take a median 72 days to sell, and there are roughly 835 active listings to choose from. That combination — flat prices, patient sellers, real selection — favors prepared buyers, and builder rate buydowns on new construction add leverage you didn’t have in 2021. The honest caveat: mortgage rates move the math more than the market does, so we run your numbers, not a slogan.
Texas allows intermediary representation with written consent from both sides. I disclose it immediately, explain what it changes, and give either party the option to use a different agent. Most clients appreciate the transparency; some prefer separate representation. Both are valid.
Teams optimize for volume. Solo optimizes for attention. On a team, the senior agent wins the listing presentation, then a newer agent runs showings, writes offers, and handles inspection negotiations. I run all of it. You hire one brain and get one brain, start to close.
Yes. Fort Hood, any branch, any rank. Up to 40% of my buyer-side commission back at closing, subject to your lender’s approval (some VA investors cap rebates at specific thresholds). We structure it upfront so there are no surprises.
Before we tour: purchase, rehab, holding costs, financing (7.0% conventional investor, 7.25% DSCR default), rent comps (LTR and MTR separately near BSW), and exit scenarios. Every deal gets a pro forma. If the numbers don’t pencil, I tell you — even if that loses the deal. Especially then.
Three steps. One — a 20-minute call to understand what you’re solving. Two — I send a written plan: search criteria or pricing strategy, timeline, what I’ll deliver weekly. Three — if the plan works for you, we sign representation paperwork and the work begins. No pressure, no follow-up sequences.
The flight ends here — at one desk, with one operator.
A first-time buyer who wants every step explained in plain English, or an investor who just needs the numbers to pencil — you get the same agent. One who picks up the phone, tells you the truth, and treats your move like it matters. No team, no handoff: 100+ closings of experience, pointed at your one.
“He didn’t just send listings — he walked me through a complete cash flow analysis, recommended a buy box for my long-term goals… I felt confident making decisions from out of state.”
