More Than a Realtor — Why Our Family Name Is on the Street Signs in Collin County

When people ask what makes my approach different, I don't start with sales numbers. I start with my story — and my family. But before I tell you about them, let me tell you where it all began.

Where It All Began

I started my career in a small subdivision in east Plano, back when the only people building homes out there were custom home builders. I learned this business from the ground up — walking job sites, understanding how custom homes come together, and helping families find the right builder for the home they'd been dreaming about. That foundation shaped everything about how I work today.

From there, I spent years selling both resale and new construction, building deep relationships with title companies and mortgage lenders long before any of our family members ever entered those fields. I formed The DeBerry Team in the early 1990s, but for many years before that I was a single agent earning every client's trust one transaction at a time. Over the years the team grew, and we added talented agents and an internal support team to make sure every client gets the attention they deserve.

Then Our Family Grew Into It, Too

Over the years, something I never planned happened — our family, one by one, found their own paths into different corners of this industry.

Our son became a home builder and land developer, starting with townhomes in Wylie and growing into developing entire subdivisions in Princeton, Nevada, Josephine, and Royse City. Three of those communities carry the DeBerry name, and another is named after my maiden name. The streets in each subdivision are named after our family members. When you drive through those neighborhoods and see street signs with the names of people we love, that means something to us.

He develops the land and then builds a select number of homes himself — the ones with his personal touch. Custom features you won't always find in a production home: crown molding, three-car garages, upgraded finishes — details that make a house feel like it was built with care. He sells the remaining lots to major volume builders who bring their own homes to the community. His son-in-law works alongside him as a builder, and together they take real pride in the quality of what they deliver.

Our granddaughter found her way into the title business, and our son-in-law is in the mortgage industry working closely with builders on the lending side. We also have wonderful relationships with several other title companies and lenders — including the one affiliated with our Keller Williams Legacy office. We always connect our clients with the best professionals for their specific situation. It's never about us — it's always about you.

Even our grandson-in-law is part of the story — he runs a landscaping and property maintenance business serving homeowners, subdivisions, and commercial properties across the area. Just another way the DeBerry family is invested in the communities we call home.

Beyond the Closing — Beyond Expectation

Our commitment to you doesn't end at the closing table. Long after the paperwork is signed, we're still here — answering questions about home service providers, helping with mortgage or title questions, and even fighting property tax valuations on your behalf. We believe in being a resource for our clients for as long as they need us.

We're invested not just in the communities where we live and work, but in the people who live in them. Our motto is "More Than" — and we work every day to live up to the standard we've set for those we serve.

Why It All Matters

I share all of this not to boast — that's not my style. I share it because when you work with me, you're getting someone who has spent years learning this business from every angle — from custom homes in east Plano to the growing communities across Collin County today. The fact that our family has grown into so many areas of this industry just adds to the depth of knowledge I bring to your experience.

Whether you're a first-time buyer, a family looking for more room to grow, or someone wondering what your home is worth in today's market — I'm here. And I bring years of experience and my whole family's knowledge with me every single time.

Let's talk. I'd love to help. ????
