Christie Scroggins 903-948-7140 There are no words that can express my gratitude and appreciation for being voted Readers’ Choice Agent for 2017. This community encompasses such loyalty, integrity and all around wholesomeness. It is an honor to be able to help people with one of their largest investments. It is a privilege to serve the community where I grew up and to be noticed for what is done daily. At Landmark Realty we believe that hard work and dedication do pay off in the end. Landmark Realty was opened in February 2014 and now has nine agents. The only way I can repay the public for choosing me as the Readers’ Choice Agent for the third year in a row is to keep doing what I have been. Lots of after hours, weekends and sometimes late at night hours are spent to bring the service and standard that is needed. God is in the drivers seat for this business. He provides for His children. Please know that this award is greatly appreciated and I will continue to give top notch service to all of my clients for years to come. In closing, I would also like to thank the Landmark Realty team, my family and the good Lord above for attributing to my success. Without each of you, it would be a lonely and impossible journey. Thanks Jennifer Hurbrough, Mary Alice Largent, Gina Carano, Irene Hamlin, Cindy Holley, Ruth Graves,Vanessa Lara and James Pettiette. You are all superstars!!!
