About Chad Thibodeaux, Broker

Chad Thibodeaux has lived in the Texas Hill Country his entire life. He grew up in Horseshoe Bay, graduated from Llano High School in 1987, and went on to Texas A&M University as the loudest and proudest member of the Fightin' Texas Aggie Class of '91, earning a Bachelor of Business Administration in Finance. Today he's the Broker and Co-Owner of RE/MAX Horseshoe Bay Resort Sales Co., a real estate brokerage his family has been part of since the early 1990s.

A Family Business on Lake LBJ

Shortly after graduation, Chad joined his father, Shelton Thibodeaux, as a broker associate for RE/MAX Horseshoe Bay Resort Sales Co. That partnership cemented RE/MAX as a Thibodeaux family business, and Chad has continued the legacy, even after Shelton's retirement. With almost 30 years of real estate experience in Horseshoe Bay and the surrounding Highland Lakes region, Chad's knowledge of the local market runs deep enough that he's often the agent other brokers call when they need background on a neighborhood, a dock permit, or a historical sales trend.

His wife, Tina, recently joined RE/MAX as a sales associate after more than 20 years serving the public as a paramedic firefighter. Together, Chad and Tina have been married 25 years and raised three daughters: Ashley, Caitlyn, and Morgan, all now grown and thriving in careers across social work, business, and healthcare. The household is rounded out by four adorable dogs: Ben, Sully, Penny, and Daisy.

How Chad Works With Buyers

 

As your Buyer's Representative, Chad makes house hunting more efficient than going it alone. That includes help getting pre-approved with local lenders who understand waterfront and construction financing, guided tours of neighborhoods that fit your criteria, and help narrowing down an essential-features list before you waste a weekend touring mismatched properties.

Once you find a home that catches your eye, Chad runs a comparable market analysis to help determine an offer price, then negotiates on your behalf to secure favorable terms. He also coordinates inspections, permit verifications, title review, and - for waterfront homes - the specialist inspections that general home inspectors don't cover (docks, bulkheads, LCRA permit transfers).

Chad's buyer representation is at no cost to you as a buyer.

How Chad Works With Sellers

Selling on your own is harder than most sellers expect. There's pricing strategy, staging, photography, marketing, offer negotiation, contract contingencies, and closing paperwork — all handled while trying to live your life. Chad has sold Hill Country real estate since 1991 and knows how the local market actually behaves, not how it looks from 400 miles away.

The process starts with a comparative market analysis to set the right price — one that sells your home without leaving money on the table. From there, Chad coordinates professional photography, staging recommendations, and listing syndication across the Highland Lakes MLS, REALTOR.com, Zillow, and the site you're reading now. For qualifying properties, he'll showcase your home through the site's Featured Listings.

When offers come in, Chad negotiates on your behalf, walks you through every contingency, and handles the paperwork through closing. The goal is a clean, profitable sale that closes on schedule.
