Roberta

It took one family five tries to get into a house. They went under contract, ran into roof and floor problems, and had to start the search again. Roberta Bair stayed with them until they finally got into a home. "Roberta had her work cut out with us," they wrote, and "she was on top of everything." It fits how Roberta sees her job: be a steady advocate, and do the right thing even when a deal gets complicated.

Roberta is a REALTOR® with Jorgenson Real Estate in Round Rock, Texas, serving Salado, Belton, Temple, Harker Heights, Killeen, Georgetown and the communities around Fort Hood. Clients rate her 5.0 stars across 29 reviews. She has sold real estate full time since 2022, after more than 25 years in healthcare, and her roots here go back further than that: her family was first stationed in Central Texas in 1998.

Military moves and VA buyers

Roberta's husband served in the U.S. Army for more than 27 years. Together they worked through the moves, deployments, school changes and new communities that come with military life before retiring in Central Texas. She holds the Military Relocation Professional (MRP) designation, and she knows VA financing and the programs available to Texas veterans, including the Texas Veterans Land Board.

Her reviews show it. "This was our first time buying a home and using a VA loan, and Roberta was with us every step of the way!" one family wrote. Another client bought a first home while overseas and said "she made sure the process was easy and smooth." Our guide for military buyers and veterans covers the basics.

Community first, then the house

Roberta believes one of the biggest decisions in real estate happens before you pick a house: deciding where you want to live. Commute times, schools, lifestyle, everyday conveniences, even having a favorite local coffee shop can change how you feel about a place. So she often starts with the community, helping clients understand the differences between Central Texas towns before they choose where to put down roots.

She also believes clients should understand not just what is happening in a transaction, but why. She explains the reasoning behind her advice and then lets clients decide. "She did not pressure us in one direction," one buyer wrote. A family new to Salado called her "an incredible resource for us." Moving here? Start with our guide to moving to Central Texas.

Resale, new construction and acreage

Roberta works with resale homes, new and custom construction, and acreage. One buyer wrote that she "truly knows the ins and outs of home buying and building in Texas." Another family handed her a detailed list of what they needed and was under contract by the fourth showing. Weighing a new build? See our new construction guide.

Selling with a plan

Sellers say Roberta prices from the facts. "She priced our home accurately according to the comps," one seller wrote. They sold within three days of listing. Buyers notice her speed too. One who reached out on Zillow heard back from Roberta within minutes, on a Sunday. Our selling guide covers the rest.

Before real estate

Before she moved into real estate full time in 2022, Roberta built a long career in healthcare. A licensed radiologic technologist since 1995, she worked in radiology and mammography at hospitals throughout her husband's military career, including four years at Carl R. Darnall Army Medical Center at Fort Hood. That work built habits she still relies on: attention to detail, clear communication and focus when the stakes are high.

Roberta serves on the executive board of the Temple-Belton Board of REALTORS® and on Texas REALTORS® committees, including Diversity and Fair Housing. She sits on the board of the Salado Chamber of Commerce and is still involved with the Fort Hood Spouses Club, which she first joined in 1998. Salado is home. Friday nights often mean Salado football, Sundays often bring grandchildren to the dinner table, and in summer the family heads for Belton Lake or Lake Travis.
