A real estate career built around military families — open to veterans, active duty, military spouses, and civilians who simply love serving those who serve. You don't have to have worn the uniform to belong here. Train part-time around your real life. Founded by an Army veteran. Built for anyone who shows up for our military community.
Homevets Realty was founded by a veteran, but it was never only for veterans. If you have a heart for military families — the buyers who PCS in sight-unseen, the spouses holding it together during deployment, the soldiers buying their first home on a VA loan — there's a place for you here.
Veterans, active duty soldiers, military spouses, and civilians who simply love this community all build careers under the same roof. Nobody understands the Fort Hood corridor and the rhythm of military life better than we do — and we'll teach you everything you need to serve it well.
Jose Segarra is an Army Gulf War veteran, former three-term Mayor of Killeen, and broker-owner with 31+ years and 5,000+ closings. He built this firm around the community he served — and welcomes everyone who wants to serve it too.
Training is evening, weekend, and self-paced. Coaching meets you where you are — on post, at home, or working a day job — so your career grows without putting the rest of your life on hold.
Veterans, spouses, and civilians who love military families learn side by side. A referral network, real mentorship, and a broker who still personally onboards every agent who joins.
You already know discipline, leadership, and looking out for your people. Real estate lets you put all of it to work serving the community you came from.

No — you do not have to have served to be part of our company. Homevets Realty was founded by an Army veteran and built to serve the military community, but the team is open to everyone: veterans, active duty soldiers, military spouses, and civilians who simply enjoy helping military families.
What matters most is heart. If you care about the buyers, sellers, and families of the Fort Hood corridor, we'll give you the training, mentorship, and referral network to serve them well — uniform or not.
The Texas Real Estate Commission (TREC) requires four things: 180 hours of qualifying pre-license education, a completed sales agent application, a background check (fingerprinting), and a passing score on the TREC sales agent exam. Once you pass, you sponsor your license under a Texas broker — that's where Homevets Realty comes in.
The 180 hours of coursework can be completed 100% online and self-paced through an approved provider. Most people finish in 2–4 months working around a full-time schedule.
Yes — and many soldiers do. Texas pre-license education is fully online and self-paced, so it fits around duty schedules, field time, and even deployments. Once licensed, you can earn referral income while still in uniform, then ramp up to full-time production when you're ready.
Check your command's policy on outside employment before you start. Most installations allow it with proper notification. Jose and the Homevets team have helped active duty soldiers navigate this exact path since 2005.
Budget roughly $600–$1,200 total to get licensed in Texas. That breaks down as: 180 hours of qualifying education ($400–$800 depending on provider), TREC application fee ($185), fingerprinting and background check (~$40), and the sales agent exam fee ($54).
After licensing, you'll have ongoing costs like MLS dues, association fees, and E&O insurance. Homevets Realty's onboarding walks you through every one of these so there are no surprises.
It's one of the best. Real estate is portable, flexible, and rewards self-direction — three things that rarely line up with the PCS-every-few-years reality of military spouse life.
A Texas real estate license transfers through reciprocity or license-recognition agreements with most states, so when your family PCS's to a new base, you don't start from zero. You also earn referral income from clients who relocate, turning every PCS into a potential payday. For a career designed around spouse life, few paths compete.
From first class to active license, most candidates finish in 3–6 months. The 180 hours of coursework is the longest leg — if you commit 10 hours a week, you'll wrap it in about 4 months. Add a few weeks for fingerprinting, TREC processing, and scheduling the exam.
Motivated candidates working around a full-time job can finish in as little as 8–10 weeks. Homevets Realty's onboarding begins the day you sponsor your license with us — no waiting period.
Texas real estate is commission-based, so there's no salary cap and no guaranteed floor. Industry data shows Texas agents earn a wide range depending on effort and market: part-time agents often see $15,000–$40,000 a year while full-time producers regularly earn $75,000–$150,000+. Top Fort Hood-area agents serving the military relocation niche frequently exceed that.
The honest answer: what you make is a function of how many clients you serve and how well you serve them. Homevets Realty's training and referral network are built to shorten the runway.
Because Jose Segarra has spent 31+ years in Texas real estate and served in the Army before that — he's lived the transition many of our agents are looking at. Homevets Realty was founded in 2005 specifically to serve the military community around Fort Hood, which means your training, mentorship, and referral network are all built around the reality of military life, not bolted on after the fact.
Add to that: 5,000+ closings, a military relocation focus, and a broker who still personally onboards every agent who joins — veteran, spouse, or civilian. This isn't a mega-brokerage where you're a number; it's a veteran-founded team with a mission, where you have a direct line to the broker.
