"We would highly recommend Amanda Philhower at East Texas Real Estate Company.
She was very professional and knowledgeable, as well as being a delight to work with. She sold our lakehouse very quickly in a slow market."Donna & Ray Grzywinski
December 2010
We had our lake house listed with another agent, with minimal activity, for a year. After we made the decision to list our house with Amanda she presented us with an offer, from a legitimate buyer, within five days! I believe she listens to people's wants and needs and presents them with realistic options within their price range. With her expertise and
knowledge of the area she is able quickly determine how to best guide them. Her genuine friendliness and honesty made working with her an absolute pleasure. During the entire process we felt she had our best interest in mind. Without a doubt, when we are in the market again, to buy or sell, Amanda will be the first person we call.

The purchase of a second home comes with a high degree of stress so it is important to have professional guidance throughout the entire process. Our experience with Amanda Philhower can be summed up in three words:Knoweldge, responsiveness, and follow up. Amanda 's knowledge level of Cypress Springs Lake and the homes around it is incredible. We were able to able to narrow our selection to fit our purchasing criteria using Amanda 's expertise. We are first time lake home buyers so we had numerous questions. Amanda, more times than not, was able to provide an immediate answer. If she needed to research our question, we always received an accurate response within 24 hours. Even while she was on vacation! It is clear that Amanda is dedicated to helping people find the lake home of their dreams. We have recently spent our first weekend in our new home and the entire family agreed it was everything we hoped it would be. We look forward to creating many more memories in the years to come. Thank you Amanda!~ Kevin & Helen Brennan
Amanda made selling our lakehouse a breeze. Her attention to detail along with understanding our needs made the situation easy. Without this, sellling this home would not have been the success it was.~ Mark & Tami Monroe
We had a very smooth and high quality buying experience with Amanda as our buyer's agent. She had expert knowledge in the key aspects of the Lake Cypress Springs real estate market, which helped us avoid pitfalls and ensure the best decisions. Her terrific contacts and relationships with everyone from lenders to inspectors to the water district office were very benefitial. Her excellent advice and skill allowed a successful transaction for us, and I believe also for the seller.~ Carrie and Ross McCormick
Amanda was extremely responsive and creative in the marketing of our lake house at Cypress Springs. She is without peer in terms of professionalism and deal moxie. We will certainly use her again on our next purchase at the lake.

Amanda handled our transaction professionally and expediently. In a few years, we will be looking for another house or lot on Lake Cypress Springs and will use Amanda’s services again when the time comes!

Amanda, Our family would like to thank you for your efforts in successfully selling my family’s lake house. I firmly believe that your knowledge of the area and local contacts were key ingredients in a successful sale. Since we all live a distance from the house we also appreciate you looking after the property and helping to hire quality local help when we needed maintenance. I used your vendor list a few times. We will miss the lake area and wonderful people there.
Sincerely,
~Carl Elder and family
