An LGBTQ-friendly real estate agent can be a vital resource who understands the community and your unique financial circumstances.
Overwhelmingly, home buyers view finding the right home as the hardest part of the buying process. There’s so much to consider: What can I afford? How much space do I need? And the most harrowing question of all — what am I willing to give up?
This question is even more loaded for LGBTQ+ buyers, who may face the added pressure of evaluating a new community for safety and comfort. “This often means a very private backyard, not having neighbors right on top of you,” she says, making yard space a priority commodity. “Privacy really is about safety.”
Stone says that questions of safety and acceptance are frequently among the first questions she’s asked by clients relocating to Texas. “It is a very valid concern to have.” LGBTQ+ buyers may also bring unique financial circumstances to the table. For example, Stone says, she has historically seen queer women looking at lower-priced homes and dealing with a level of scrutiny in their loan application that exceeded their male counterparts. A 2022 analysis from the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis shows that more self-identifying lesbian and bisexual women have household savings and investments below $250,000 than men of any sexual orientation.
