When moving your company to East Texas and the Tyler area it is important to work with a real estate agent you can get along with and who doesn’t have that creepy fake smile thing going on. You want to have a real estate agent that is experienced but also makes you feel comfortable. I had this experience with Matthew Marshall. At the time Matthew Marshall worked as a real estate agent for Perry B. Hall but since then it appears he has moved over to a new company. Finding the right Tyler commercial real estate company allows you to take some of the stress off of the rest of the business relocation process. I was not even aware that he was a principle partner now with a new compnay. I am not surprised that he has moved up because of the great experience both me and my brother had while working with him.
Matthew is one of those agents that stays very busy but he also understands the need to go through the extra effort to look for the details his clients ask for. Some real estate agents will listen to the details you ask for and then when it comes time to delivering they just don’t come through for you. Matthew is not one of these Tyler real estate agents that only appears to deliver on his promises. Matthew Marshall will listen, research and continue to look for the details you require.
When Matthew starts to work for you in finding the right commercial property in Tyler to meet your needs he manages your requirements in with his other clients in a way that each customer gets the treatment they require in the area of, time, in person, on the phone, and in his own time researching what you need. I think everyone has run in to a used car salesman or real estate agent that just seemed to be starring blank with a fake grin and you wondered if they were even listening to what you had to say. I think you will be happy to know that Matthew is not one of these real estate agents and he will actually give you value by using him because he will be able to accomplish what you cannot by filtering through multiple listings in order to find what your looking for. He goes further by finding you the best deal on a commercial real estate building whether you plan to buy the facility or just want to lease it for a a year or more.
His real estate business is called Landbridge Commercial Properties and I think you will be very happy with his work and commercial real estate experience in the Tyler area. If you need more information my brother or I would be happy to explain over the phone some of the things he has done to go above and beyond in helping us out with our Tyler Texas commercial real estate space.
Some of the services Landbridge Commercial Properties Commercial real estate brokerage handles are, the tenant as well as the landlord side of lease transactions, brokering purchases with land, retail, commercial, industrial and investment properties.

I have had the pleasure of working with a surveying company in Tyler Texas that surveyed the land my new house sits on in New Harmony Texas. They did a professional job and the owners and workers are professional, Christian, and ethical in their business dealings with both me and my brother. They were able to do a very quick turn around on the job so that my closing went through on time. I really had not given them much notice before the closing date but they were still able to get the job done and they marked all the border markers correctly.
Turley land surveying company in Tyler Texas can also come back and mark lines for any fences you plan to install on your property. If you want to raise cattle or goats or any other type of livestock you will need to have your lines marked so you can install your fence on a straight line. Turley surveying can quickly come back using their coordinates they marked for the initial survey to mark a fence line.

Try Our favorite MLS Search – Click Here
One of the most helpful things I have found when finding a home in Tyler is using an online tool like the MLS search to locate a house in a zip code or neighborhood in Tyler that you like. Simply drive around Tyler or you may already know of a neighborhood you like. Once you have found it type in the zip code for that area in an MLS search and a list of Tyler homes for sale will come up. You can conveniently browse through the listings from multiple realtors and agencies and find a few you like. You can then print out some maps and go check out these houses. Since the homes will all be in the same area in Tyler TX you will not need to travel very far to see them all.

When I moved back to Tyler Texas I was looking for a good apartment that wasn’t too expensive but was low on crime. One easy way I found to check on the crime rate at a given apartment was to call the Tyler Police and ask for the 911 call report for an apartment complex. The police have an excel spreadsheet that logs just how many calls were made and of what type for each apartment complex in Tyler. The Establishment had an exceptional record and beyond there low crime rate they have a very good management staff. I have been to some apartments in Tyler where the management seemed very cold and unconcerned. The management at The Establishment makes no apologies for wanting only low key individuals that aren’t of the partying type of personality and I was all for something like this. It is annoying when you have punks next door getting drunk and throwing up on your car every weekend. This was never the case at The Establishment in Tyler Texas.
The manager at The Establishment will check your credit just like all apartments in Tyler will do and they will ask you for some type of deposit. I can’t remember what our deposit was but I think it was around $200. Depending on if your credit is bad or good you may have to pay more than this. The Establishment really caters to older adults and professionals so if you come in there with pink hair and sagging pants you will probably be given a frown. There are plenty of apartments for teenagers looking for a good social scene and who don’t mind walking outside and seeing somebody back from the bar peeing on the sidewalk. The good news is it will be very unlikely to see this type of behavior at The Establishment. To give you an idea on the prices on apartments at The Establishment you will get a slightly higher rental rate then maybe an apartment at The Dove Tree apartment complex but your apartment will be in much better shape and with no bug problems.
The pest control people come into your apartment every few months like clockwork and because of this I never saw even a single cockroach. The rooms are larger than other apartments I visited in Tyler and you will have a pretty big porch or balcony depending on if you are on the first or second floor. The swimming pool at The Establishment is hardly ever used and so it makes for a nice summer getaway for those who enjoy the outdoors during the summer. There is a barbecue grill near the pool if you want to cook a steak and swim.
A big part of the whole apartment experience is a good relationship with the manager. The manager at The Establishment when I lived there was Carol and she was amazing. She is a very polite professional woman and really accommodates you if you are a good paying tenant. I imagine as with any Tyler apartment complex if you fail to pay your rent and party on the weekends you may have some issues with management but for people like me I say good and go ahead and kick out the riffraff. Safety for my children, wife and personal belongings will always come first ahead of watching an entertaining drunken display at 2:00 a.m.

When relocating to Tyler Texas it is sometimes hard to picture what a house may look like simply from the real estate listing emails you receive from your Tyler realtor. The way me and my wife found our house was by driving out to a neighborhood and looking at homes we liked. We would occasionally find a house that was for sale and it would sometimes be just what we were looking for.
You can use an MLS search tool to look through homes in a certain zip code. You will be able to narrow down your choices this way but it is always worth getting into your car and going to areas that are known to be good locations to live in. The Andy Woods Elementary school area in Tyler Texas is a great affordable location in Tyler to buy a home. There are several moderately priced neighborhoods in this area and if you work in Tyler you will likely not have a very far drive to work.
There is one house close to Andy Woods I would recommend staying away from. One of the houses has a large sign in the front yard because of a land dispute. The sign is about 10 feet tall by 5 feet and has a large map of the diputed property line. What is weird is that the property line in dispute crosses into his property by a couple feet. The fence was built several years ago and there just isn’t anything legally the guy could do anyway to get the lady to move her fence and storage shed.
The guy in question doesn’t look like he plans to budge anytime soon and the little old lady in the house he is disputing with I can’t see paying to have her fence and storage shed picked up and moved. When considering moving into this area of Tyler this is the only real problem I have seen in the area. There are a few little cottage styled houses that are really small as well that would probably go for around $70,000 – $90,000. A small cottage home would be great for a single first time home buyer. A couple with no kids could also find a pretty decent small affordable home in this area of Tyler as well. There are some larger homes in this area as well but it is good that you have your pick at different price ranges on houses in the same area.
There is a park nearby Andy Woods called Pollard Park and it has a Tennis Court and two nearby churches. The soccer fields are big enough to fly a Kite and the park has a fairly good sized playground. This year the Obama Administration is offering a $8,000 first time home buyers tax credit you don’t have to pay back. Because of the state of the economy I am not sure if this credit is a smart thing to give out right now but since it is available I would jump on it as I don’t think it will be around much longer.
I have seen people walk around the park with their dogs, some drive golf balls there in the evenings. There are about 6 tennis courts available with a large fence around them to prevent your tennis ball from going out into the road.
The Andy Woods area with the park and good elementary school system offers a low crime rate, moderately priced Tyler homes and gives you a central location in South Tyler. Your drive to Best Buy is about the same drive time as it would take to get to the court house or Tyler mall. For the location, low crime rate, school, and park I think you will get a very good deal for a home in this area of Tyler.
