Look, Texas is a big state.
You can choose any realtor you want to work with, but
local realtors have local knowledge.
It’s all about
GEOGRAPHIC COMPETENCY
In short, this means being an expert about a geographical area. Your realtor has to have current knowledge, facts, data, and resources for the area!
I lived in Plano, Texas for 10 years, but haven’t lived there in 16 years. I’ve lived there, but that doesn’t mean I am an expert.
I have been to San Antonio a few times in my life for vacation. Just because I have been there, doesn’t mean I am an expert.
Wanting to buy a home in East Texas?
I just might be the realtor for you!
Kelly Raulston
“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.
