About Us
I have enjoyed a 20-year career as a realtor in Texas. I enjoy working with first-time home buyer buyers and sellers and investors. I work any home price my clients need. Specialize in Owner Finance properties. Also work with a group of investors who will finance a home for buyers home for clients who can't get traditional financing! I love real estate and my client's needs always come 1st!
How We Got Started
The Family Tree Elite Realtors was created when my daughter decided to get her real estate license and work with me. So we created The Family Tree dba. Sadly this career was not a good fit for her, especially after having a baby as it takes a few years to get established and after 20 years now I still have to work hard every day. But I love it so it doesn't feel like work most days. I hope I am making a difference in people's lives.

There is no way I could give better advice than Abel and Sofi! I lost my little brother suddenly a few years ago by his own hand. I loved and supported him, always except for his relationship with his latest boyfriend because he was a user and abusive. No way could I support that relationship because he deserved so much more. I still miss him everyday. So my point is just love and enjoy your brother because life is too short and you never know how much time you have left with someone you love!
Happy Holidays!

When we bought our home 21 years ago, for sale by owner, she was a licensed real estate agent and took us to the cleaners! The side note we had to pay her for $20,000 was exactly how much we over paid for the property! I vowed I would do whatever I could to help others not get taken advantage...

When we bought our home 21 years ago, for sale by owner, she was a licensed real estate agent and took us to the cleaners! The side note we had to pay her for $20,000 was exactly how much we over paid for the property! I vowed I would do whatever I could to help others not get taken advantage of so one year later I received my Real Estate license! It's has been and continues to be a wonderful decision. I love assisting families with their real estate needs and always protect their interests. It's a very rewarding career.

Sure sounds like you've been scammed and it sounds like you're being extorted. In this case I would never ever pay them. Hopefully you have more positive reviews on Yelp then the one that they would post.

Anything worth having, like your own business, takes time. I have been a Realtor for 20 years, no small feat. But I love it and love helping my clients so it's not always fun it is always rewarding!
Good Luck
Realtor.com is most current. Zillow is full of ads, Redfin is okay but don't bother with Trulia! I've had clients call me about houses that already sold and closed. Othet than Realtor.com the othe sites rely on the listing agent to update the status of the property. Just my opinion.

The main misconception in residential real estate is that it cost more to buy a home than to rent one! You don't have to have perfect credit or tons of cash. There are many 1st time home buyer programs with zero down - as long as you own the home for 5 years you won't have to pay back the down...

The main misconception in residential real estate is that it cost more to buy a home than to rent one! You don't have to have perfect credit or tons of cash. There are many 1st time home buyer programs with zero down - as long as you own the home for 5 years you won't have to pay back the down payment. With the cost of leasing so high I sincerely urge folks, especially young families, to check with a good local lender and see what you need to do to get on the way to home ownership. Invest in your family's future! And don't forget to use an experienced Realtor when you do buy- it shouldn't cost you if you are the buyer.
Host broker luncheon, local board tour, make sure it's priced well and be patient.

I agree that appraisals are the most frustrating in this market! We want to help our sellers get top dollar while helping buyers get best price. I've taken several classes offered by appraisers and can never get a straight answer as to the value of different amenities. I take my time and...

I agree that appraisals are the most frustrating in this market! We want to help our sellers get top dollar while helping buyers get best price. I've taken several classes offered by appraisers and can never get a straight answer as to the value of different amenities. I take my time and usually do very well with my comps, however, knowledge is power!
