"I can personally attest that Chris is friendly, trustworthy, easy to talk to, and highly experienced. Unlike so many others, Chris places a high value on God’s commandments, people’s well-being, and living life with a clean conscience. If given the opportunity to make a mountain of money at someone else’s expense, I sincerely believe Chris would walk away from the deal and never look back."

"Over a period of five months between January and May, Chris Stearns assisted us in the purchase of a property in Gonzalez County with which we are absolutely pleased. Although new to both of us, Chris patiently assisted in the complex legal, regulatory, and time constraints of an IRS 1031 exchange utilizing proceeds from an investment property I had recently sold to purchase a replacement property. We initially contacted Chris on referral from a friend in January 2017, to ask for assistance and over the next four weeks, Chris helped us identify 15-20 different rural properties meeting our requirements. During the first three weeks of February, Chris and I visited about ten properties in five counties driving over 600 miles. He helped us submit two contracts that were not accepted for acreage in Gillespie county and over the next month, he negotiated a rather complicated contract for the Gonzalez County property we finally closed on in May. During this process, Chris researched and answered numerous questions I had regarding the properties and the purchase process as well as a variety of improvements I wanted to do to the properties. Chris was always ready to help us, continually checking in to see how things were going and providing updates. We were thoroughly pleased with his support, background knowledge, and eagerness to assist. Dealing with him on every occasion was a pleasure and we would not hesitate to do so again. Thank you, Chris!"

    Our favorite Summertime hang out place on the Frio River is in Leakey! We have been coming here since the 80's. When Jennifers family bought a property there. Real County is in southwest Texas, bounded on the north and west by Edwards County, on the east by Kerr and Bandera counties, and on the south by Uvalde County. The center of the county lies at 29°50' north latitude and 99°50' west longitude, 100 miles northwest of San Antonio. Real County encompasses 622 square miles of the Balcones Escarpment on the southern edge of the Edwards Plateau; its terrain is characterized by sharply dissected canyonlands crossed by numerous streams, which flow from perennial springs in the water-bearing strata of the Edwards and Glen Rose limestone formations and descend the escarpment over beds of limestone, gravel, and calcareous soils. Headwaters of both the Frio and the Nueces rivers lie within Real County; the Nueces forms the county's western boundary with Edwards County. Elevations range from 1,500 feet in the valleys to 2,400 feet in the northern part of the county at the edge of the plateau; the mountains and ridges in the western half of the county, the eastern edge of the Nueces Canyon, are steeper and more rugged than those along the Frio Canyon to the east. Rainfall averages 23.88 inches annually. Temperatures range from an average low of 35° F in January to an average high of 96° F in July; the growing season lasts about 235 days. Although agriculture has been of limited significance to the area since the earliest periods of human occupation, arable land is found in the valleys, where pecan trees are plentiful.
