TEXAS IS A STATE OF MIND

“I have said that Texas is a state of mind, but I think it is more than that. It is a mystique closely approximating a religion. And this is true to the extent that people either passionately love Texas or passionately hate it and, as in other religions, few people dare to inspect it for fear of losing their bearings mystery of paradox. But I think there will be little quarrel with my feeling that Texas is one thing. For all of its enormous range of space, climate and physical appearance, and for all the internal squabbles, contentions and strivings, Texas has a tight cohesiveness perhaps stronger than any other section of America. Rich, poor, Panhandle, Gulf, city, country, Texas is the obsession, the proper study, and the passionate possession of all Texans.”

John Steinbeck, Travels with Charley: In Search of America.

The above quote says it all! I am a native Texan, grew up in a South Texas ranching family and love all things Texas. I hope you enjoy my posts about rural land, a few personal observations and also some which, in a more general sense, describe what the Texas State Of Mind means to me.

Testimonies

A successful transaction requires a high degree of cooperation and trust between the client and broker. We work hard to develop a relationship with our clients which will result in success. The following testimonials speak to the effort we put into each transaction.

“Mr. Allen,
Please renew our listing agreement. You are the most professional and responsible real estate professional we have had the pleasure
to deal with. “

– Leonard and Shelia Smith

“Just bought a nice place south of Huntsville with the help of our realtor, Albert Allen. He was a pleasure to work with. Although my wife and I had some trouble with decision making early on, Al was patient. He is very knowledgeable about rural property around Houston. I appreciated that, after listening to us, he didn’t waste our time. He showed us properties that were real prospects which met our needs and respected our limits. When we found what we wanted, Al guided us through an atypical and complicated closing process. We couldn’t have been happier with Albert Allen as our realtor. A real professional. Highly recommended.”

– James Duncan

“Mr. Albert Allen,
You are a very kind and trustworthy man who believes in HELPING others. The way you spoke about your Mother was most impressive. I trusted you with a key to my home along with permission to enter without me being present. You went above and beyond to sell two separate properties of mine and if I should ever have any more to sell, you can bet I’ll call you first. Wishing you the very best in your new adventure. May God Bless you, your wife, and family.”

-Kathryn Truehitt

“Mr. Allen went that extra mile to sell my property for the amount I asked. At times it felt as though I was his only client even though I wasn’t. Mr. Allen was always available to answer questions and give me guidance 24/7. This Realtor certainly has his client’s best interests in mind.”

– Helen Jones

“Albert handled all aspects of the sale of my property in New Ulm efficiently and expediently. I could not have asked for a more knowledgeable agent.

He was always ‘Johnny on the spot’ especially since my residence is 450 miles away. I am proud to recommend Albert to anyone purchasing or selling property.”

– Barbara Edmond

“After listing a property for sale with Albert, he found a buyer in a short period of time. He handled everything professionally including coordinating an appraisal and a survey, and communicating with a government body and the title company as necessary. Things went well and I would feel comfortable with him handling any future real estate purchases or sales for me.”

– John Trow

“Al Allen is a leader in the field of Right-of-Way and eminentlyqualified and sought after for advice and counsel by real estateinvestors on various types of property and in particular regardingrural and agribusiness properties.”

– James B. “Nardie” Vine, FRICS, ARA, CRE

I was appointed to the City of Houston Real Estate Department & Harris County Real Estate Department in 1980 – 1991 and I was honored to have met Albert Allen at SRWA functions. He was highly and still is, respected among his colleagues/appraisers and other professionals. He is among the best in the field of real estate!

– George Benavides, SR

I worked for Al Allen many years ago and always found him to be one of the most knowledgeable and professional appraisers I knew. He was the President of the Society of Real Estate Appraisers and later became the President of the IRWA, and worked tirelessly to further the professionalism and public concept of the members of those organizations. He has been an instructor of real estate and eminent domain appraisal classes, sometimes without pay, in order to further the educations of those who needed the classes during times of economic adversity. I am happy to have benefitted from Al’s influence and still consider him to be a friend.

– Tommie Crowell, MAI, SRA, SR-WA
