Stuart Deane Urges Buyers and Sellers to Redefine Real Estate Success

Arlington, Texas Nov 9, 2025 (Issuewire.com) In a market where speed, volume, and competition dominate, Arlington-based Realtor and brokerage owner Stuart Deane is urging North Texas homebuyers, sellers, and fellow agents to slow downand focus on what truly defines success in real estate: clarity, trust, and long-term confidence.

As the founder and team lead at TDT Realtors, Deane has spent over a decade helping clients navigate one of the most emotional financial decisions of their lives. But what sets him apart isnt how many homes he sellsits how he sells them.

Im not here to sell you something you dont need, Deane says. Im here to help you find what fits your life. Thats the job.

With 39% of U.S. homebuyers reporting regret after a purchase (Zillow, 2023), and over 40% citing confusion about the process, Deane believes the problem lies in how success is defined within the industry.

Agents are trained to close fast, to always be moving, he explains. But that pressure leads to shortcutsrushed inspections, poor communication, missed red flags. Thats not success. Thats risk.

Deanes client-first approach was shaped by his own experience as a buyer, his background in athletics, and the early years launching his brokerage alongside his wife and business partner, Elizabeth Deane.

When we started TDT Realtors, we wanted something different, he said. No scripts. No hand-offs. Just honest guidance and clear communication. Every buyer, seller, or investor deserves that.

At TDT, the team emphasizes education over urgency and believes each clients timeline, budget, and priorities should guide the processnot market pressure.

A Shift Agents Can MakeAnd Buyers Can Demand

Deane is now encouraging not just his clients, but also other real estate professionals across Texas to rethink how they measure success in the field.

If your clients feel rushed, confused, or unsupported, then it doesnt matter how fast you closed, he says. We should be aiming for better outcomes, not faster ones.

Hes also asking buyers and sellers to take an active role by:

• Asking more questions during listing or showing appointments
• Pausing when something feels off or rushed
• Choosing agents who focus on service and education, not just sales numbers

The more informed and confident a client feels, the better the results, Deane adds. This industry doesnt need more pressure. It needs more clarity.
