🏡 WHY I CHOOSE QUALITY OVER QUANTITY IN REAL ESTATE 🏡

After 31 years as a licensed Texas real estate broker, I’ve learned something very important:

More listings doesn’t always mean better service.

Honestly, I’ve never wanted a huge inventory of listings just so I can say I have a lot of signs in the ground. I typically like to keep my listings around five or less because I believe my sellers deserve my time, attention, communication and personal involvement.

There is only so much of YOU to go around. ❤️

If you have a great assistant or a large team, you may be able to successfully manage a much larger inventory—and that’s wonderful! But I personally like to manage my own business and stay involved in the details.

I want to know my sellers.
I want to know their story.
I want to know their goals.
I want to be there for the showings, the marketing, the negotiations, the questions, the unexpected moments—and everything in between.

Because for me, real estate is personal.

And after 31 years, I’m also learning that doing everything yourself isn’t necessarily the best way to serve your clients.

Recently, I decided to try something I had never done before—I hired a transaction coordinator.

I gave her four of my files this year just to see how it would work, and honestly, it worked out really well! 🙌

I’m still very hands-on with my clients and my business, but having someone help with the transaction side allows me to spend even more time doing what I love—communicating with my clients, marketing their properties, showing homes, negotiating and building relationships.

So I may continue using a transaction coordinator moving forward.

Sometimes after 31 years in this business, you realize you don’t have to do everything yourself—you just need to make sure the right things are being done with the same care and attention you would give them yourself.

That’s what growth looks like for me—not becoming less personal, but finding ways to become even more available to my clients. ❤️

Right now, I have four listings, and two of those have already gone UNDER CONTRACT! 🎉

And today is another busy day!

🌳 I’m taking a new land lot listing in HOA 1.32 acres Madison Park Subdivision
🏡 I’m taking a new house listing Lumberton Texas under $300,000
📑 Two of my current listings are under contract
🔑 And two are still waiting for the right buyers!

I’m doing it my way.

I’m not trying to be the broker with the most listings.

I’m trying to be the broker who gives every client the kind of personal attention I would want if I were in their shoes.

I’m not transactional. I’m relationship-driven.

I’m not here simply to put a sign in your yard and wait for someone to buy it.

I’m here to market it, negotiate it, problem-solve it, communicate with you, protect your interests and work my tail off to help make your real estate dreams come true. ❤️🏡

After 31 years, I still love what I do—and I still believe people matter more than transactions.

If you’re thinking about selling your home or land in Southeast Texas, I’d love the opportunity to sit down with you and talk about your goals.

Saw this while showing property!

📱📸 “I CANNOT BELIEVE YOU TOOK THIS WITH YOUR PHONE!”

😂 Y’all crack me up!

To all the phone-photography haters… here are some outstanding pictures I shot with MY PHONE! 📱🔥

To those of you who appreciate phone photography I adore you ❣️! I am certified in real estate phone photography LOL I bet you didn't even know that was a thing!

It is definitely a practice and I can tell you I've had just about every phone there is.

I’m an amateur photographer, and I am so tired of hearing people say, “You can’t take good pictures with a phone.”

Oh yes… YOU CAN! 😎

My phone has some seriously impressive DSLR-like capabilities. And before anybody comes for me—I actually own TWO Canon DSLR cameras! 😂📷

And you know what? Sometimes my phone captures an even better image, especially when it comes to close-ups, detail and macro photography.

Now let’s talk REAL ESTATE. 🏡

Sometimes a seller simply doesn’t have the extra money to put into professional photography, and when that happens, I’m perfectly capable of stepping in and taking the photos myself.

After all… I’m the one selling the house! 😂

I have absolutely paid for professional photography myself before, and there are some phenomenal real-estate photographers out there. I appreciate every single one of them, and I’ve worked with photographers who are absolutely AMAZING! ❤️📸

But here’s one of my biggest pet peeves…

THE HOUSE NEEDS TO LOOK LIKE THE HOUSE.

I cannot tell you how many times I’ve walked into a property with a buyer and heard:

👉 “This doesn’t look anything like it did on the internet!”

And honestly?

That is embarrassing.

When we market a property, we are supposed to give buyers an accurate reflection of what they are going to see when they walk through that door.

You can make a property look beautiful.
You can use good lighting.
You can showcase its best features.

But you still need to leave the sour part of the lemon intact. 🍋😂

In other words…

Don’t sugarcoat it so much that the buyer feels deceived when they arrive.

I’ve always been pretty straightforward. I’m a little blunt, a little eclectic, and I’m perfectly okay with that because that’s who I am.

And you know what?

My clients appreciate knowing that I’m going to tell them the truth.

Because real estate isn’t about making everything sound perfect.

It’s about getting the property sold while protecting the relationship, the transaction and everyone involved.

At the end of the day, it’s a business deal and a business relationship—and my job is to help my sellers accomplish their goal while being honest about what we’re putting out there.

So yes…

📱 These were taken with my phone.

And yes…

📷 I own two Canon DSLRs. My phone cost more than both of my DSLR cameras!

And yes…

🌸 I still love playing around with photography!

Because sometimes you don’t need the most expensive equipment in the room.

Sometimes you just need to know how to use what you have. 😉

And when there’s a money crunch?

We do what we have to do to get the property SOLD—and make sure everyone gets paid in the process!

That’s real estate.

That’s business.

And that’s just Rhonda being Rhonda. ❤️🏡📱
