My Family developed mini ranch communities in and around Collinsville Texas and I helped my dad and brother introduce the homes to the public with marketing ideas and concepts since I was the computer guru in the family. Besides marketing I also served as an open house mouse to the properties that they built and when he was short handed or had too much business or opened a new development. After my father passed I continued to help my brother from time to time when he really needed me. It was my favorite job and the reason I am determined to land a job with The Villages Real Estate Team
