Good morning @Sebastian Lough, I am the broker/owner of ELDA Management Services and would love to connect and discuss any of your Houston needs. 

Who is your real estate agent, broker, partner or person you team with?  

(Investigate the presence of Fortune 100 companies and industry diversity, using resources like metropolitan council reports and broker websites (e.g., CBRE, Colliers).)Affordability: Ensure household income has grown at least 1% YoY for the past 20 years.

@Peter TrifanI would reach out to as many brokers and property management companies in your market for recommendations.

I would get a paper map of the city, go and visit with a several different brokers (in different areas) and bring that map- then ask them where the neighborhoods are that are Class A class B class C class D and where the war zones are.

Should I get in touch with brokerage firm(Broker) about the agent's handling of this? 

Do you have any mortgage broker recommendations in Dallas, Tx (or surrounding areas).Would affect if I am not USA citizen, but an employment based resident?

Just work with a mortgage broker. 

It was through a local broker who brought it to me off-market after he knew what types of deals we were looking for.

Their attorney gave the broker a projection of fees for going to court which exceeded 70K!
