My Story
I've called East Texas home for as long as I can remember. There's something about this part of the state that gets into your blood, the pine trees, the lake, the people who wave at you whether they know you or not. When I decided to make real estate my career, it wasn't a hard choice to stay right here and serve the community I love.
What I can tell you is this: I take every transaction personally. Whether you're buying your first home in Palestine, selling a lake house on Lake Palestine, or relocating to East Texas from somewhere else entirely, I'm going to give you the same honest advice I'd give a family member. That's just how I was raised.
Recognition
In 2021, the Palestine Association of REALTORS® named me their REALTOR® of the Year. I'm not going to pretend that recognition didn't mean something to me, because it did. But more than the award, what it tells you is that the people I work alongside every day in this industry trust and respect the way I do business.
I hold the GRI designation, earned by fewer than 10% of REALTORS® in Texas. It required extra coursework, extra training, and a genuine commitment to doing this job at a higher level. My clients deserve that.
How I Work
After more than a dozen years selling real estate in East Texas, the best compliment I hear is still, "You felt like a friend, not a salesperson." I believe you deserve honest, local advice over a rushed transaction. I will tell you if a house is overpriced, or if a specific neighborhood on Lake Palestine isn't the right fit for your lifestyle. That kind of trust is what matters most to me.
Plus, you never have to worry about being lost in the shuffle of a massive team. You will never be handed off to an assistant. When you reach out to me at 903-724-2338, you are talking directly to the person guiding you home.
