Lone Star Realty

Fantastic experience: John Jarvis was such a great realtor. My home was advertised on many sites, and he was always available for questions. I would recommend Lone Star Realty to anyone looking for a honest reliable agent. My experience was wonderful.

Fantastic experience: John did an excellent job getting this property sold. We were remote sellers and John went over and above helping us through the process.

Fantastic experience: John and team were fantastic. Even though it was a cross-country transaction, he made the entire process smooth hassle-free. We could not be more grateful.

Fantastic experience: We absolutely love working with Kristine! She goes way above and beyond!

Fantastic experience: We have been using Lone Star Realty for over 25 years. John and his staff are like part of our family. John always takes the time to listen and is ready to help sale your property or help you find another one.

Fantastic experience: Keeley has been my agent for the sale of at least five houses. She is very professional, always available to provide updates or answer any questions. I recommend her to everyone I can!!

Fantastic experience: Christi Young and the team at Lone Star Realty helped us find the perfect home. We were looking for an investment property that would also be a home for my parents. Christi listened to our needs and wants, showed us homes that fit that criteria and guided us through to closing with expertise. She is a delight! The folks at Lone Star are the best!

Fantastic experience: It was a pleasure working with John. He is very friendly, knowledgeable and competent. John ensured that our home was broadly advertised across many markets to give us maximum exposure. He always kept our best interests in mind. I highly recommend John as a Buyer's or Seller's Realtor!

Negative experience: Unethical! Put in a full offer with no contingency with a local agent for a listing with Lone Star Realty. John Jarvis hung on to the offer for 3 days until his agency was able to show the house and sell the property thru his agency for over the listing price. Motivated by not splitting the commission with another agency, Unethical!

Fantastic experience: Kathy and Tracy were the best at helping us buy this land they are professional. Being buying real estate for some time and they have been the best the realtors I ever encounter. Thank you so much I will be calling them for more business. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: John Jarvis is amazing! We are so lucky that we called him to help us with our house hunt! I recommend John and his staff if you are looking for a home in East Texas! He will work hard for you and they work with you all the way to closing!

Fantastic experience: Great team of people working together to get the job done!

Fantastic experience: Lone Star Realty made this process so easy for us!! Our agent, Kathy Blackstead was there for us from looking at the first house until we closed on our dream home. I recommend them 1000x over!!

Fantastic experience: Professional and respectful good communication

Fantastic experience: David Altom is a great professional realtor who was able to get me multiple cash offers on my property and sell it within 5 days, well above list price! David made every step easy and communicated perfectly with me, without any surprises at closing! He knows how to successfully market properties. I highly recommend David!

Fantastic experience: I was at the end of my rope in the search for a house, and I am so glad Mr. Altom answered the phone the day I called. He was kind, professional, steered me away from several options that would have been huge mistakes, and generally made my home-buying process as smooth as possible. He was careful to walk me through all the steps and issues to expect. He worked hard to keep communication open and make sure I was able to meet deadlines, even in the evenings or on weekends. He was also a truly wonderful advocate for my interests in the negotiating process, providing recommendations but honoring my preferences and handling all difficult conversations with the seller's team. I was able to go to closing with confidence that I had found the perfect home, and I cannot recommend Lone Star Realty highly enough!

Fantastic experience: As always, John Jarvis and his team do an exceptional job for their customers and I am no exception. Thanks to John and his team. Best regards, Peg Patton

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have the pleadure of working with John Jarvus on two occasions. John and his staff met all of our needs and expectations in selling our properties. If you want to sale or buy property around the Lake Fork area, you can't go wrong with LONE STAR Realty and John Jarvus.

Fantastic experience: John Jarvis and Lone Star Reality did an outstanding job during our recent purchase at lake Lydia. He was always prompt responding to anything we needed and made the entire process go very smooth. I would highly recommend him to anyone, we could not have expected any more than he provided to us.

Fantastic experience: We highly recommend John Jarvis and his team for real estate needs. We found every aspect of working with Lone Star Realty to be positive from start to finish. John consistently delivered every commitment to make the process of selling our home smooth and efficient. He went above and beyond expectations and we are very pleased with the outcome.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend the team of Barbara Jarvis & John Jarvis at Lone Star Realty. They sold our home in 2 days and jumped through hoops to get me in a new home. They are professional, responsive, and definitely know their business! I wouldn't buy or sell a property in this area without contacting them.

Fantastic experience: John Jarvis and his staff were most accommodating and professional handling the sale of our property. I would not hesitate to use John again.

Positive experience: Very good people to work with. They pay attention to detailed .

Fantastic experience: Lone Star Realty exceeded any prior relator experiences we have had over the years. We found John Jarvis and his team including Crystal to be on top of every detail. We would not have got the beautiful house we bought without their expertise . Thanks again Lone Star Realty! WB and DB

Fantastic experience: Lone Star Realty is professional and very responsive. We highly recommend them!

Fantastic experience: Over several years, the property in Texas received multiple unsolicited offers. Some didn’t seem too awful. But once the decision was made to sell, we engaged John Jarvis at Lone Star Realty. From the first conversation, it was clear that John was an experienced professional that clearly understood the market. He laid out a plan and told us what to expect. Within a reasonable timeframe, we received 2 offers. Both were attractive and at least 2 times higher than the unsolicited offers. Rather than pushing for a sale, he suggested waiting. John described how the different seasons impact the scenery of the land and recommended until the weather improved to attract a better offer. To be clear, had we wished to take either offer, he would have acted on our behalf. We chose to take John’s advice and wait. His understanding of the market was accurate. The latest offer we received and accepted was 33% higher than the initial offers. That was a significant improvement and higher than we had anticipated. However, the transaction was complicated due to multiple factors. While we were experiencing frustrations, John always remained calm, encouraging, and provided sound advice. I suspect many other agents may have given up in frustration, but John never wavered. John Jarvis was the ideal agent for us. His insight, proactive approach, attention to detail, keeping us informed, and ultimately finding us the right buyer at the right price was remarkable!

Fantastic experience: Have used John and team on multiple deals, would highly recommend them and they have become my go to in East TX!

Fantastic experience: Everything went as expected, pleasant and professional.

Fantastic experience: My beautiful 1930s home had been on the market for two years with some showings but not luck. A friend recommended John Jarvis of Lone Star Realty even though she didn't even know him; his name was known around the lake community where she lived. John met with me immediately and put a marketing plan in motion that included a professional photographer for an extraordinary representation of the house. The listing was promoted in many markets, scheduling agents were professional, and reports were sent to me regularly. Within two weeks there were two offers-one over list. John worked tirelessly during the process and closing went through. John's office manager, Crystal, was a delight to work with and so professional. John then worked with me on the purchase of acreage to build my forever home. John made recommendations for new construction must-haves as well as a list of area builders and what to expect. If you have areal estate need, John Jarvis is the realtor who can get it done.

Fantastic experience: john, your the best realtor that I have ever used to sell a home, evelyn and I have sold and bought homes going all the way back to 1972. living in Houston , thanks for every thing, and you and your family have a wonderful thanksgiving and Christmas. lou and evelyn cole

Fantastic experience: JohnJarvis has done an excellent job of marketing our properties in the last two years. We recommend him highly. Craig Weems

Fantastic experience: John Jarvis and Chrystal were always in communication with us. John's marketing plan was explained well in the first meeting. It was exactly what I had hoped. His photography was spectacular. Since we had invested so much in the home and property we were shooting for the moon in order to recover as much as possible. We settled for what I believe was a fair price. John led us through all the ups and downs. He was there for us every step of the way. We are happy and we recommend Lone Star Realty to our friends and neighbors. Lewis and Sherry

Fantastic experience: Long story short. This realty service, went an extra 1000 miles to help sell our property in spite of the 3 month delays brought upon by we the sellers of property that was only worth $25K. They put in allot of effort for a mere 3% profit to their pocket. Outstanding service !!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Lone Star Realty is the best! John and his team were professional, efficient and provided excellent customer service.

Fantastic experience: Best realtor in E. Texas. Had a house for sale for 7 years by multiple realtors. John Jarvis sold the house in less that two years. He is smart, professional, and knows how to sell.

Fantastic experience: Lone Star Realty is the best, I have used them more than once. They work hard for you and make you feel like family.

Fantastic experience: David Altom was able to find us a perfect property on Lake Fork. We highly recommend working with him to find your next home.

Fantastic experience: I have worked with John Jarvis for over 25 years buying 3 different home and selling 2 on or around Lake Fork, and buying and selling numerious pieces of property around Lake Fork. I've completed over 23 transactions over those yeatrs. John knows this area well and can provide you with a good evaluation either with the property you want to buy or sell.

Fantastic experience: John & Crystal were timely, thorough, and congenial. Choosing Lone Star Realty to handle our recent property sale was spot on!

Fantastic experience: David Altom was a wonderful agent to work with. He was thorough, professional, dependable, honest, and courteous. We have sold many homes in the past and this sale was the easiest, smoothest ever!

Fantastic experience: I found John and team very easy to work with, well informed, and very helpful in finding my little piece of heaven. I will happily work with them again if I have another real estate transaction to do!

Fantastic experience: 12 years ago my wife and I began the process of looking for property in East Texas. We became extremely frustrated with the lack of help we received from numerous realtors until we met John. John became much more than a realtor but a friend. Three years ago we purchase another property in East Texas. We didn't even consider calling any one else. John and his team care about their customers. I highly recommend Lone Star Realty.

Fantastic experience: I contacted Lone Star Realty when my personal life was at a low point. I had recently lost my husband of 49 years and could no longer care for the property we had lived on for 17 years. My grandchildren loved coming to the lake and fishing and we had so many great memories living in that Home. John understood my emotional state and my emotional attachment to the property and helped me navigate the process. He gave me good advice and always considered my feelings. He assigned Tracey Pitre to assist me when he was unavailable, and she and Crystal DeLoney were both great to work with. I highly recommend the Lone Star team. Good people!

Fantastic experience: I live in the Gulf Coast area of Texas so I've not yet had the need to visit the Lone Star Realty personally. With internet one can conduct a lot of business without the necessity of travel. John Jarvis and I have had a long relationship but we have not yet met. I'm the kind of client that most realtors have to hate. My search started about 10 years ago and then had a few 'life interruptions' that postponed me for a while. I was so impressed with John's patience as there were a couple of others who dropped off the screen a while ago. He has always been the consummate professional in all of our interactions and I am hopeful to be buying property through him soon. The time is finally arriving.

Fantastic experience: Lone Star Realty helped me sell and buy property. I worked with both John and Tracey, they were very professional, friendly and knowledgable about the area and I felt I was in good hands throughout the process. Also, being from out of town I had no connections or resources to local workers or services, they helped provide me with solid reliable sources from that respect as well. I have referred Lone Star Realty and will again in the future.

Fantastic experience: We met John and listed our property with Lone Star Realty. While our property does not have a lot of value, their effort in selling it has been a top shelve service. We have not worked or met everyone who works at at Lone Star Realty, but assume everyone is as professional and cordial as John and Crystal. Not easy to find customer service at this level today. You get to talk to real people when you call them, strange as that may seem.

Fantastic experience: We are selling 30 acres of beautifully wooded land, a barn, an apartment/office and a home. We wasted 2 years with 2 other realtors who NEVER showed this property. When we changed to Lone Star, things started happening that had not ever happened - realtors came with clients to view the property. Having come from the Dallas area when my husband and I retired, we WANTED the beautiful ETX environment - the quiet, the owls, the deer, the lakes and yes, the closest grocery store is 6 miles away. Lone Star appreciates this asset and are doing everything to promote this fact to someone who wants what we visualized when we moved here.

Fantastic experience: Over the years, I've bought and sold at least 400 pieces of real estate. And I've dealt with dozens of realtors in the process. Frankly, John and Lone Star have dazzled even me. I guess I've failed myself to keep up with all the ways there are now to market a property, but it appears to me that they have my 25 acres on enough web sites and listing services to cover the planet. They would have sold my property for me the second week I listed it, if I'd have budged on my price. But I didn't. With the exposure they've given me, I'm certain that the right buyer is just around the corner. They have been professional and thorough and come out and walked the property to know it so they could tell other about it, and then took two dozen professional quality photos. I'm using them now, and they'll be my next agent too.
