Real Estate at Lake Texoma - I like to consider myself somewhat of an expert on Lake Texoma real estate - sounds a bit arrogant, but having grown up in the Lake Texoma area and having started my real estate career in Pottsboro-- the people, their homes and just real estate in general have always fascinated me and in turn I have gained a substantial amount of knowledge about this area we call Texoma.  I always say that I can not sell something I don't love - and that is why real estate at Lake Texoma is my passion -- everyday I get to help people with their dreams of home ownership in a place that I love!  We have such a large array of properties - there really is something for everyone!  Looking for a small piece of acreage to build a new home? 1-5 acres?  Something larger, maybe 30 acr...

Pottsboro Realtor - that's me!  I recently posted a referral for a past client of mine that is out of my local area and after reading lots of other agent's profiles to help with my decision making - I thought I would make it very clear what I actually specialize in - since it was so pertinent to me that these agent's actually not just know how to get to the area and had maybe sold a few houses here and there - but actually specialized in that area!  So to everyone who is reading this blog, customer or other agent - I specifically specialize in Lake Texoma / Pottsboro real estate. For more than 8 years now I have focused primarily on homes at the lake.  With so many choices - there truly is a spot for everyone.  We have homes that are lakefront, homes with boatslips, acreage, condos, cab...
