Yes, we have the magic keys that get us into the houses you want to look at, but what else do we offer?  Texas law allows us to represent sellers as listing agents and buyers as Buyer’s Agents and with informed consent of both parties to a transaction, we can be intermediaries, but all that is for another, later, legal discussion.  Today I want to discuss the general services that aren’t often thought of by the consumer.

Sue Horchem has been with our group since January 2008.  She reactivated her license in the early spring of 2008 when I needed a new assistant and someone to organize us (and by us I mean me).  She has been training ever since, learning all the nuances of this crazy business.  A few weeks ago she innocently asked (after we had put out one of many real estate “fires”) if there was ever a routine deal.  My answer was an emphatic “No!”

Well you already learned a good bit about me, Claudia, so now for the rest of the group.  I asked Rick to come on board in a more visible role about 3 years ago.  He had been extremely involved as the creative genius of my original web site and was enjoying being behind the scenes, but his great ideas were getting results and I needed help!  Clients love Rick and his “to the point” opinions and advice when house hunting and making decisions.  He has a real gift for helping clients figure out just what they want then helping them find it.

Thanks for wanting to know a little bit more about me – Claudia Carroll

I’ve been selling real estate full-time right here in the Tyler Texas area since 1995, and I LOVE it!

I have been involved in real estate most of my life in some way or another.  How many people can say their real estate career started in high school?  Well, I can.  I was an army brat having moved all over the world and the eastern half of the United States when Dad retired while I was in middle school.  All the moving (3 times in one year!) has helped me realize what folks go through when they are uprooted and move to a strange city and that sometimes not all family members are on board for the transition!
