What you are actually hiring.
She goes and finds them
Clients keep raising this one unprompted. A listing that sits is usually a listing nobody is working.
Local knowledge, specifically
Where the water stands in a wet spring, and the name of somebody who can come out and fix the gate.
One team for every property type
You should not have to change agents because you decided on forty acres instead of a lot in town.
Clients, unedited.
Selling a home and buying another at the same time can feel overwhelming, but Meagen handled everything so professionally and made us feel confident throughout the process. She listened to exactly what we wanted in a new home and worked hard to help us find the perfect fit for our family.
Meagen is very professional, honest, knowledgeable, and was very organized throughout our entire process of buying and selling. She always kept us informed and made sure we stayed on schedule for our closings.
We were so impressed with her knowledge and motivation that we decided to use her when selling our old home and land. Her knowledge base is beyond her years. We would highly recommend her for anyone searching for a realtor in northeast Texas.
The brokerage
Brokered by Real.
The Signature Group is a team of licensed real estate professionals at Real Broker, LLC. Real is the brokerage. The Signature Group is the team you will actually be working with, day to day, in Paris.
Texas requires every license holder to give you the Information About Brokerage Services notice before substantive dealings. Ours is linked in the footer of every page here, next to the TREC Consumer Protection Notice. Two of the team are licensed in Oklahoma as well, so work on that side of the river runs under Oklahoma’s rules rather than these.
