Linda Smelley Sales Associate
Talk about experience! "I started before there was an MLS - back in the times when we borrowed keys," Linda Smelley says. With over 40 years in real estate helping buyers and sellers come together, Linda really knows the ropes. "It's just that I want things to go well for people when they make a real estate decision," Linda explains, adding that especially for first home buyers, their experience should be a good one.
A native Texan, Linda and her husband of 41 years, Alfred, live in on their family's original homestead in a house her 98-year-old grandfather built 34 years ago. The original 1910 homestead is vacant, but sometimes late in the evening, Linda hears "strange noises out back!"
Linda recalls that their decision to move from Houston was a desire to live on more acreage and to get away from the big city congestion. "And Alto is a great town for us to be outside, work in the yard, and walk and play with our four grand-children," she says. "There's also plenty of room for our four dogs and 1 cat!" Linda adds.
Linda's numerous clients describe her as hard-working, very honest and serious about their needs. Coming from Coldwell Banker United in Houston, Linda explains that she wants to stay with Coldwell Banker because of the caliber of company it is and because of the strong reputation. "And, of course, I really like our website!" she exclaims.
As a member of the Houston,Texas and National Associations of Realtors, a Relocation Specialist, and full-time licensed real estate agent, Linda still takes time to enjoy her favorite activity - shopping! From antique stores to Stein Mart in Tyler, Linda loves finding unique items and intelligent buys. Linda also supports theDepelchin Faith Home in Houston where she and Alfred fostered 12 children in the early 1980's.
Linda would love to talk to you about your real estate needs and time frame and will happily come to you for a no obligation walk-through of your home. Linda's commitment is to give you professional and honest Realtor service.

Bradley Wilson Realtor
Bradley Wilson was 20 years old when he bought his first home. "Since I had worked in construction as a teenager, I developed a huge interest in homes," Bradley says. That interest turned into immediate success in his real estate career. In his first year, Bradley was a million dollar producer for the Coldwell Banker Choice, Realtors team and was rated 3rd best with Nacogdoches MLS.
Now at 26 years of age, Bradley continues a determined path and persistent involvement in real estate. Interaction with clients and the public is one of his favorite aspects of being an agent. "I really love Nacogdoches and introducing it to people," he says. Bradley was born and raised in Nacogdoches as was most of his family. His decision to begin a career in real estate is also strongly based on his desire to be a big part of the Nacogdoches community.
Big part, indeed. Bradley Wilson is the 2008 Chairman of the Texas Real Estate Political Action Committee, more commonly recognized as TREPAC. Bradley tells us that it is his responsibility to bring issues of importance and relevance to the public and to real estate professionals. He tries to keep the Texans aware of real estate tax legislation and the voting records of Texas Senators and Representatives.
If you've ever attended Nacogdoches community events like the Chamber's Alive After Five series or ribbon cutting events, you've probably spotted Bradley. "I'm finding that my social life is mixing with my career," he says, explaining that most of his friends are also business associates.
Bradley Wilson loves Nacogdoches because it's "calm, relaxing, and beautiful." He is also a movie buff with complete collections of the Indiana Jones movies and others. "I must have 100 new DVD's at home!" Bradley admits. He also enjoys eating out at the many wonderful restaurants in Nacogdoches. Bradley's favorite is Auntie Pasta's, but he is a connoisseur of most eateries. So if you ever need a restaurant recommendation in Nacogdoches, just give him a call!
Bradley also supports the American Cancer Society and participates in many related events in tribute to his beloved grandfather.
With a "get right back to you" trademark, Bradley Wilson makes home buying or selling an experience as enjoyable as it should be. Bradley stays in touch with all his clients and is highly tech-accessible. If you don't know how to text-message your real estate agent but want to know how, friendly Bradley will be happy to show you!

Home Inspections >Inspection Repairs
When you sell a house, the buyers will probably have a home inspection before they sign a contract to purchase the home. The inspector may turn up something that needs attention or repair, and after the inspection, the buyers may produce a list of items they want repaired as a condition for moving forward on the sale.
When you get the buyers' list, remember that some of the items may be negotiable. Sales contracts usually require that all the systems be in working condition. Some buyers may make requests that go beyond the normal obligations of the seller. They may ask for a new roof or certain structural repairs that you may not want to make. Your agent can help you to assess the risks of just saying "no" to buyers who are making demands you consider to be unreasonable. You may decide to decline the requests, but the buyers may also decide to back out of the deal as a result.
When you agree to make repairs, hire licensed professionals who will guarantee their work, and give copies of the reports to the buyers. Arrange to have the repairs made as far ahead of time to avoid last-minute complications which could compromise the transaction.
