Three properties sold — and three new families that now call Franklin home 💚🦁!

They didn’t just buy property… they chose this town. The pace. The people. The way of life.

So if you see a moving truck, a new face at the gas station, or someone figuring out where everything is…

👋 Give them a wave.
🤝 Introduce yourself.
🫶 Help them feel like they made the right move.

That’s how you grow a town the right way — without losing what makes it home.

Sometimes it just lines up. ✨

They had been putting the word out everywhere—calling friends, asking around, trying to find the right place just outside of town. We even had a few people reach out to us on their behalf.

Then we finally met.

As soon as we heard what they were looking for, one property came to mind. Off-market. Right place, right time.

We showed it… and they knew.

That’s about as close to a perfect match as it gets.

Congrats to these guys on locking it down. 🤝

Closing days are the best days! ☀️🏡

March 2, 1836. Washington-on-the-Brazos.

Texas didn’t declare independence at the Alamo.
It happened inside a small wooden building — no real windows, no grandeur — owned by Noah Byars and Peter Mercer.

Fifty-nine delegates signed the Texas Declaration of Independence while Sam Houston organized the army.

It was a rural settlement on the Brazos River, in the middle of winter — muddy roads, rough cabins, and a war already underway.

Small town. Big decision.

Texas history is full of moments like that — shaped by rural communities, not big cities.

We’re proud to serve small-town Texas — the same kind of communities that shaped this state from the beginning.

Rural towns have always played a vital role in Texas culture, and they still do today.

If you ever want to experience it firsthand, we’d be honored to show you around the Brazos Valley — and the history that built it.

Happy Texas Independence Day.

🚨Price Correction.

Some lenders are quoting just under 6% for strong borrowers right now. Most averages are still hovering in the low 6’s. Either way, we’re in a better spot than we were a year ago.

With this new price, this is now the most competitively priced home in the neighborhood.

If you’ve been watching it… let’s go take a look.

Adding a little local context to this one from Traces of Texas.

Sarahville de Viesca — the spot in their post — wasn’t just an early settlement. It became the first land office in this region. Before that office was built in 1834, Sterling C. Robertson had already brought families here to start their homesteads. They showed up, broke ground, and then got thrown into a political fight they never asked for. Titles weren’t guaranteed. Laws were shifting. And everything they’d worked for was suddenly up in the air.

That’s where William H. Steele stepped up. He kept issuing titles, documenting claims, and holding that land office together through raids, political chaos, and even the Runaway Scrape. More than a hundred early families were able to legally secure their land because of his grit.

And fittingly, today marks a key moment in that story.
November 21, 1825 — Dr. Felix Robertson and thirty-two men left Nashville to explore this exact region. That expedition set everything in motion: Leftwich’s Grant, Robertson’s Colony, and the path that brought those first settlers here.

That’s why we carry the name 1825 Realty.
1825 is the year the door opened for legal settlement in this area — the beginning of recorded land ownership, the roots of Robertson County, and the foundation of the communities we live in today.

A quiet little road by the Falls of the Brazos… sitting on top of a story that built this whole part of Texas.

The Arcane Texas Fact of the Day: If you drive down FM 712 just southwest of Marlin, Texas, you'll see the unimposing little road shown below, which leads to the Falls of the Brazos park. The park itself is small and inconspicuous but 190 years ago it was the site of Sarahville de Viesca, then Fort Milam, then Bucksnort, Texas. The settlement was established in 1834 by Sterling C. Robertson and named for his mother Mrs. Sarah (née Maclin) Robertson and Agustín Viesca, the Mexican governor of Coahuila y Tejas. The site is located at the falls of the Brazos River, where the river formerly dropped 10 feet and where a well-used ford was located.

The town was temporarily deserted in 1836 during the Runaway Scrape and permanently abandoned soon afterward because of native American raids. Fort Milam was built on the west-bank site but abandoned a few years later in favor of the town of Bucksnort, which occupied the east bank ---- where the park is today. After a flood got too close for comfort, they decided to move four miles north, which is why Marlin got established in 1851. But you can still see a historical marker at the site of the former town of Bucksnort. And, while I think Marlin is a fine name for a town, I kind of wish they'd have kept the name "Bucksnort." It has more character and Bucksnort, Texas just sounds to me like a place that SHOULD exist. 😉

🏡 From homestead exemptions to water funding, these decisions will shape how we live, build, and invest across small-town Texas.

🗳️ On November 4, Texans will vote on 17 proposed constitutional amendments, and several directly affect land, homes, equipment, and property taxes across rural Texas.

𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐀𝐫𝐞 𝐅𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐖𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡👇

🌊 Prop 4 → Texas Water Fund
💧 Dedicates $1 billion per year for 20 years to improve water lines, expand resources, and support conservation — crucial for rural communities that rely on smaller systems and wells.

🐄 Prop 5 → Animal-Feed Inventory Exemption
Helps feed stores and ranch operations lower overhead — savings that ripple through the ag community.

🔧 Prop 9 → Business Equipment & Inventory Exemption
Raises the exemption to $125,000 — easing taxes for small and mid-size businesses, though it may shift more of the tax load toward real estate.

🏠 Prop 11 → Senior & Disabled Homestead Relief
Boosts the exemption for homeowners who are elderly or disabled, helping those on fixed incomes stay in their homes as values rise.

📚 Prop 13 → General Homestead Exemption Increase
Raises the exemption from $100,000 → $140,000 for school taxes — pairing perfectly with Franklin ISD’s new lower tax rate (1.0793 → 1.026 for 2026).
A double win: higher exemption + lower rate = an even sweeter place to invest, settle, and build equity.

Your voice matters. Every vote helps shape the future of our communities, schools, and the land we’re proud to call home. 🕖 Election Day is November 4 — but there’s still time to vote TODAY!
