Lisa Rhodes and I are part of the same Mastermind group. We meet daily to learn, grow, and sharpen each other as agents. So I don't say this lightly — if you have a client looking at land, lake property, or rural acreage anywhere in the Cedar Creek Lake or East Texas corridor, Lisa is the first call you should make.

Lisa works out of Keller Williams – Cedar Creek Lake Properties at 1907 West Main, Gun Barrel City, TX 75156, and she covers Henderson, Smith, Kaufman, and Anderson Counties. What a lot of Dallas-area buyers don't realize is that these communities are only an hour or two from the Metroplex — close enough for a weekend place or even a daily commute, but far enough out that you're dealing with well water, aerobic septic systems, dirt county roads, and manufactured homes on acreage. That's a completely different world from a subdivision in Frisco, and it takes an agent who actually understands it.

Lisa is that agent. She can walk a property and tell you which corners are likely to hold water after a heavy rain. She knows what to look for when evaluating an aerobic septic system versus a conventional one. She understands how to price a manufactured home on rural acreage versus a site-built — and more importantly, she can explain the difference to a buyer in plain English so they feel confident in what they're getting.

That kind of knowledge doesn't come from a weekend CE class. It comes from living out there and doing the work, deal after deal.

And she's not just working in these communities — she's part of them. Lisa is an active Kiwanis Club member and just helped wrap up their Annual Cornhole Tournament, which raises money for local children. That tells you who she is when there's no commission check involved.

If your clients are even thinking about East Texas, connect with Lisa. She's the real deal. 903-292-8515
