You may have driven by a home that you were interested in, and they had a "FOR SALE" sign in the front.
However, just because it says "FOR SALE", does not always mean that it is for sale.
Sometimes, real estate agents like to leave the "FOR SALE" part on the sign, so they can collect inquiries (just keepin' it real with you).
Sometimes, the real estate agent hasn't gone by to update the sign.
Sometimes, the home has already gone under contract.
Sometimes, the home has already sold.
How can I determine the status of a property? (for sale, under contract, sold)
1. You can contact the office number on the sign.
2. You can contact the listing agent on the sign. However, just note, the listing agent represents the seller.
3. You can contact a local real estate agent you can trust (could be listing agent, could be someone else).
4. You can research on-line. Just be aware that third party websites also may not have the most current status.
Need a local real estate agent you can trust, and you are looking to buy in East Texas, I just might be the right realtor for you!

“Reliable and Ready” REALTOR® since 2016. I was born in Monroeville, Pennsylvania, but was raised in Texas since 1997. When I found out we were moving to Plano, Texas, I remember looking forward to riding a horse to school and a brand-new pair of cowboy boots! Growing up in Plano prepared me to be competitive, quick, and to have a strong work ethic.
I graduated from Stephen F. Austin State University in Nacogdoches, Texas. Axe’em Jacks! That is where my love for East Texas began. The nature, warm smiles, football games, and community values can't be beat! I graduated summa cum laude with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies. I was a middle school math teacher in Tyler, Texas. I met my husband, Travis, in Sunday school, and we have been married since September 2016.
I love being a REALTOR® in East Texas! Relationships are genuine, the area is beautiful, and the market is rockin’! I am an involved REALTOR® to better the community. Some of the organizations I am involved with are: The Professional Development Committee, Texas Real Estate Political Action Committee, and Tyler Educational Networking Group. Some awards I have won were “The Hustle Award” in 2016, and “Rookie of the Year” in 2017.
When I am not working with my clients, I like to spend quality time with my friends and family doing the following: running, target practice, read and participate in book club, and playing with my dachshund Greta.
