When I show my buyers a property, they have a mindset of
“This home has to be perfect. It will be my forever home.”
We get the home under contract, they buy the home, and they live in the home.
And then a few years later….
They want to sell the home.
Why? L - I - F - E !
- The in-city lifestyle they thought they wanted, has grown tiresome, expected, and expensive.
- The life surprise (family dynamic, job opportunities, etc)
- The layout that worked a few years ago, isn’t working now.
- Etc.
But, they thought this was going to be their “forever home”.
It is normal! It is OK to move and change locations. As long as you can financially afford the change!
You can stay in your current home.
You can move to a different setting.
Either way, it is completely normal to want a change of scenery. If you have been a homeowner for the last couple of years, and you do want a change of scenery, let’s talk about it! I would be honored to be your REALTOR.

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.
