We sell the whole map here. Houses in town, acreage, working places, and the brick buildings on the square, across five counties on both sides of the river.
Two tracts on the same farm road can sit thousands of dollars an acre apart, and the reason is rarely anything you could photograph from the gate. Soil does it. So does frontage, drainage, and who kept the minerals when the place last sold. Three blocks matters in town too.
Knowing which is which took years of driving these roads. Everything after that is paperwork.
Move from a lot in town to forty acres and you keep the same agent.
Houses in town and out of it. Paris lost most of its downtown and much of its housing to the fire in 1916 and had rebuilt inside three years, which is why the stock here looks so consistent. Brick, deep porches, big trees over the street.
Homesites, hunting tracts, timber, pasture. Lamar County carries a couple of hundred land listings at any given time. Two of them on the same road can be worth very different money.
Working places, and places to run a few head. Fencing, water, soil, road frontage, mineral position, all of it moving the number in ways a drive-by will not catch. We walk it first.
Storefronts, shops, offices, buildings on the square. Most of it is early twentieth century brick, and the difference between a good one and a money pit is usually the roof and who has been looking after it.
Paris was laid out in 1845. Clarksville is older than that, founded in 1833, back when this corner of the state was still deciding whether it belonged to the Old South or the frontier. And the Red River, which is the state line, has never held still — the boundary runs along the south bank rather than down the middle of the channel. Reading the records properly is part of the job.
~$12,659
average per acre across roughly two hundred active land listings in Lamar County. The cheapest and the dearest are nowhere near it.
She has helped our family sell multiple homes, buy a home, and has now helping us purchase land to build our dream home. One thing that really sets Meagen apart is that she doesn’t just sit back and wait for buyers to come along, she actively goes out and finds them.
Our existing home had already sold. I had no idea what we were going to do. Overnight, Meagen reached out and told us about a home that she knew about in Brookston. She even went above and beyond to meet us on property by driving us around on her ATV to get a closer look at the 11 acres.
We’ve worked with Meagen on several real estate transactions, and she has been top-notch every single time. Her expertise in the local real estate market made each transaction stress-free, and we always felt confident knowing she was handling everything.
Buying, selling, or still working it out. Call and we will tell you what we think, even if the answer is that this is a bad month to sell.
