Scouting Van Alstyne Land


My client was interested in these 5.6- and 6.8-acre lots but decided to keep looking. The drone video is still fun. These beauties have 1Gb fiber optic internet available! Let me know if you’re in the market for flat land in Van Alstyne in Grayson County!

It Only Takes A Little Dough


It just takes a little dough to buy a house! Veterans and USDA loans allow $0 down while conventional can be as little as 3% down. If you want to move ANYWHERE, I’m ready to help!

Market Watch - 20 Jan 2023

Since last week all main market categories increased. After a mostly inverted market (more houses sold than listed) from late November through the beginning of this year, it brings some optimism for the spring season. To have sales, there must be inventory to sell.

Meanwhile, the lease market was flat for New Listings and Pending Properties while Closed Properties increased. The lease market hasn’t been inverted since the week of 29 July 2022.
