20 years. $145 million. Two championships. One mission.
Helping Houstonians build wealth through real estate — and helping agents build careers that last.
Alan R. Hernandez is a licensed Texas real estate broker (TREC #562620) and the owner of White Picket Realty in Houston, licensed since 2006.

A broker who's done it himself
Alan R. Hernandez didn't inherit his reputation — he earned it one closing at a time since 2006. As broker and owner of White Picket Realty, he has guided thousands of Houston families through buying and selling, all while staying active as an investor who buys, renovates, and flips homes in the same neighborhoods he serves. That dual perspective — agent and investor — is why clients trust his pricing and negotiation instincts.
A record his peers recognized — twice
In both 2024 and 2025, Houston's real estate community voted Alan the winner of the Battle of the Brokers, a peer-judged competition. Combined with $145M+ in lifetime sales, a 98.9% closure rate, and a 4.9-star average across 177 verified Google reviews, the message is simple: Alan delivers results.
A leader in Hispanic real estate
