Publishers Commentary: “Spouses Selling Houses”

Real Estate seems to be a more a “family business” as least as evidenced by the number of couples who have graced the front cover of our magazine. REE has profiled 21 couples in the 71 magazines that we have produced since we started in April 2002.

They were Ronnie & Cathy Mathews/Re/Max Legends, Al & Elizabeth Mandola/Coldwell Banker Mandola, Don & Sherry Burns/ Re/Max Fine Properties, Melinda & Jim Noel/ Greenwood King, Mario & Maggie Rios/Re/Max Fine Properties, KC & Alice Lam/Re/Max Elite, Ward & Marilyn Arendt/Marilyn Arendt Properties, Gregg & Amy Langford/Keller Williams Realty Clear Lake, Silvia & Manuel Martinez/Martinez Realty, Richard & Tracy Wall / Richard Wall Realtors, Neil & Anita Reed/Realm Realtors, Michael & Melissa Weaster/C-21 Excel, Richard & Peggy Elkowitz/Re/Max Westside, Ruben & Nancy Villarreal/Re/Max Integrity, Kenneth & Anni Li/C-21 Southwest, Diane & Bruce Kink/Keller Williams Woodlands, David & Lauren Flory/Re/Max Professional Group, Marion & Bruce Franke/Keller Williams Realty (Conroe), Tim & Lori Sojka/Keller Williams Houston West, Lauris & Lisa Tam/ Charter Equity, Inc. and this month’s cover honorees, Dean & Brandi Melton/RE/MAX The Woodlands & Spring.

Obviously, these couples love building their businesses and lives together. Still many more have spouses and other family members are “behind the scenes” who either support them in their business or are the motivation behind everything they do.
Happy Valentines Day to all of the all of the “Real Estate Sweethearts” in our community!

Dean & Brandi Melton have been true sweethearts since they met through friends in 1992. They have three beautiful daughters (one in college) and a wonderful team. I have truly enjoyed working with them on this issue. You will enjoy their story.

As always, good reading and good sales!
Success to you!
