He only sells new-construction residential properties and he only works with volume builders, or companies that build several hundred homes per year sometimes up to 3,000.
Caballero created an online platform, HomesUSA , exclusively for volume home builders to track these hundreds of homes. The platform streamlines the process of creating a listing, tracking the progress of a house's construction, and updating the listing when photography is added and when the home is complete. Caballero manages listings for more than 60 builders in the Dallas-Ft. Worth, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio areas.
He lives in Frisco, Texas, with his fiance, Linda, and his dog, Sammy. Caballero has two children: a son and a daughter.
