🌿 Home & 35.5 Acres of East Texas Freedom — Now Offered at $859,000 🌿

🎥 Watch the land tour and imagine what life could look like here.

✅ 35.5 fully fenced and cross-fenced acres

✅ Pipe and barbed wire fencing already in place
✅ Separate gated entrance to the pasture

One of my favorite things about this property is how the land wraps around the home, creating a sense of privacy and peace that’s hard to find.

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for Melissa Jenkins by Michael D - Where do I begin? Seriously!

We had an agent before Melissa and that agent was EVERYTHING Melissa was not. We were so grateful to find Melissa as it was our 1st home buying experience. To say that I am the quintessential 1st time home buyer is an understatement. I laden Melissa with an unfathomable amount of questions and concerns. Not only answering or getting the answers to all my inquiries but with a soft, compassionate approach. Never seeming annoyed, eventhough I fully know that I was. Late night texts, early morning calls, meeting with people at the house because I couldnt, the list goes on and on. She went entirely above and beyond and coddled us the entire way through all our our anxieties and concerns.

I can honestly say, that without a doubt, Melissa is the picturesque, ideal, PROFESSIONAL real estate agent. Fought for our interests and safety. We can never thank her enough. She is now on the honorary christmas card mailing list and she will get updates on our progress of making our 1st purchase into our 1st home!!!

Thank you Mel, truly truly so much appreciation!!!

5.0 star review received on Experience.com for Melissa Jenkins by Nadia S - My husband and I recently purchased a home in Palestine, Texas, and I cannot say enough wonderful things about Melissa. Having purchased homes in Houston, Dallas, and Florida over the years, I’ve worked with many realtors, but Melissa is, without question, the best realtor I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with.

From the very beginning, she was always available when we needed her. Every call, text, or question was answered promptly, and she never once made us feel like we were bothering her. As a first-time homebuyer, my husband had many questions, and Melissa patiently walked us through every step of the process with kindness and professionalism.

One thing that truly set her apart was the quality of her referrals. She recommended a loan officer, home inspector, insurance agent, and plumber. Even though I did plenty of my own research and found alternatives on my own, we ultimately chose to use Melissa’s recommendations & I’m so glad we did. Every single person she referred was professional, knowledgeable, reliable, and dependable. That level of trust is hard to find, and I would confidently rely on her recommendations again in the future.

Melissa knows the Palestine area exceptionally well and was always honest and informative. At no point did I ever feel pressured to like a particular home or rush into a decision. Instead, I felt supported, informed, and respected throughout the entire process.

Even after closing and moving into our home, Melissa continued checking in to make sure everything was going well. That speaks volumes about the kind of person she is. She is organized, dependable, patient, and genuinely cares about her clients.

If you’re looking for a realtor in East Texas, don’t waste your time shopping around. Just call Melissa. Small-town real estate service truly wins here, and Melissa is the perfect example of why. We are incredibly grateful for everything she did for our family and would recommend her without hesitation.
