Burks Real Estate

Evant, Texas

As a fifth-generation native to the Evant area, I have a deep rooted love for this community and the surrounding area. I have been an active member in my community and have served on several boards throughout the years.

Before beginning my career in real estate, I owned and operated a small business in town.

In 1979 I earned my real estates license and four years later, after obtaining my brokers license, I opened Burks Real Estate. For the past 40 years I have had the pleasure of serving buyers and sellers in Evant, Gatesville, Hamilton, and the surrounding areas. During this time I have not only gained extensive knowledge of the land and the Central Texas Real Estate market, but have also built good working relationships with lenders, escrow officers, appraisers, and fellow brokers/agents.

I value the work that I do and enjoy helping clients through what can be a difficult time. I strive to always serve my clients with honesty and integrity. With my knowledge and experience I am sure that I can provide you with the resources and tools that you need to feel confident when buying or selling real estate.
