Last night in historic Granbury, Texas, what we as business owners fear–fire, descended upon our town. In the wee hours last night, a fire began in the iconic building known as The Nutt House. This anchor structure was built by the Nutt brothers who donated the land for our Square.The Nutt House has been a famous hotel and restaurant over the years.

We had an exciting week here in little ole Granbury, TX. The fan-favorite TV Series, Yellowstone, descended upon our town this week. The show is preparing a Prequel called 1883. Our tiny town Square welcomed the film crews and the actors as streets were closed to accommodate the filming.My real estate office, Beam & Branch Realty was just a few doors down from the excitement and we all had fun watching the drama unfold. The immense amount of work that goes into the preparation of the site was really interesting to watch. Those on the film crew worked tirelessly from sun up to sundown.There were many sightings of Sam Elliott and he was kind to wave back at the growing crowd who braved the 100-degree heat to watch. Our local Silver Saddle Saloon created a great place for the actors and cr...

I live in a small Texas town outside of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Because our town is historic, quaint, and accessible, we have many tourists each day visiting our historic Square. Granbury is experiencing a surge of people seeking to escape various living situations and find themselves at our front door.My office is in one of the newly renovated buildings on our Square and as such, we have lots of drop-ins which we love. Our first question is, "Hey there, where are you all from?" More than likely we hear, California. Additionally, we also hear these families are seeking to move entire families to our area. What they are looking for are properties with multiple homes already on them or, land in which to build. Both of these situations are challenging in our market due to low inventory...
