The Laredo real estate market in 2026

Laredo is the largest inland port on the U.S.–Mexico border and the most active land port of entry in the United States by trade volume. The city's real estate market is uniquely driven by cross-border commerce, international trade executives, and a steady base of military and federal law enforcement personnel stationed at Laredo Air Force Base and the numerous federal agencies operating at the border.

The Laredo MSA median home price is approximately $195,000 as of early 2026 — one of the most affordable markets in Texas. While lower median prices mean smaller per-deal commissions, Laredo agents who close high transaction volumes are disproportionately impacted by split models. At 30% split and 20 deals per year, an agent loses over $35,000 annually to the brokerage.

Laredo sits at the intersection of I-35 and the international trade corridor, making it a strategic market for commercial real estate, industrial warehouse space, and logistics-related property. Agents who serve both residential and commercial clients in Laredo benefit significantly from a flat-fee model that does not penalize commercial transaction sizes.

How the top Laredo brokerages compare

Most agents in Laredo are choosing between the same handful of national brands. Here is how their fee structures compare — and what each one actually costs you per year.

Keller Williams Laredo

Split: 70/30 to cap|Monthly: $45–$65/mo|Cap: $18,000/yr

Dominant local presence, but the split model means you give up 30% of every deal. In Laredo's affordability-driven market, per-deal losses are high relative to GCI.

RE/MAX Laredo

Split: 95/5 or 100%|Monthly: $700–$1,200/mo|Cap: None (desk fee model)

High monthly fees regardless of production. In a market with lower median prices, monthly desk fees represent a large percentage of net income.

eXp Realty

Split: 80/20 to $16,000 cap|Monthly: $85/mo tech fee|Cap: $16,000/yr

Revenue share model requires recruiting to maximize income. Agents still give up 20% until cap — a significant hurdle in a lower-price market.
