Bo Rhodes – Licensed Real Estate Consultant I am proud to say the DFW area has been my home for more than 30 years. My experience in the field in the home building industry is quite diverse. Over the past 45 years, I have been a certified home inspector, mastered a number of trades, and designed and built custom homes. When I joined my wife, Verna, and son, Russell, in 2002, this frontline experience brought a unique perspective and eye for quality to our business that complemented the team’s expertise in real estate. Working with my family to provide quality service to our clients is very fulfilling. Our personal and business lives are guided by traditional values: quality, integrity, and accountability. My spare time finds me fishing, be it competitively in tournaments or for fun and relaxation with my grandsons. |

Jeremy Wages – Licensed Real Estate Consultant
I have lived in the DFW area all of my life and I can honestly say that I literally grew up in the Texas Real Estate business. I have been in mortgage lending since 2001 and I hold a Loan Officers license in Texas. I live in Allen Texas with my wife Kendal and our 6 children (3 boys and 3 girls) where we are active in our community through church, scouting, sports, and various organizations. I am so blessed to be able to work with my family in this business and even though I am a third generation realtor on the Rhodes Team I don’t think I will ever get used to referring to my mom as Terri or my grandmother as Verna. |

In 2004, after running my own drapery and decoration company for more than 20 years, I joined my family in our mutual passion for real estate.

Tiffany Smith - Office Manager/Marketing Director Originally from a small town in Louisiana, I began calling Texas home in 1994. I moved to the DFW area and earned my degree in Advertising at The University of North Texas. We love to remodel homes. Our first remodeling project was an outdated 1970's house that needed a complete floor-to-ceiling makeover. With a lot of TLC and perseverance, we were able to bring it up-to-date and sell it within a year. At the time, we told ourselves that we would never attempt such a large project again. But, soon afterwards, we were back at it purchasing another home and starting the process all over again.

Working With An Agent >Listening To Your Needs
Some buyers purchase the exact kind of house they said they were looking for, in the neighborhood they preferred. Other buyers surprise us by falling in love with a house that is the complete opposite of what they originally wanted.
Real estate agents listen carefully when buyers describe their needs and preferences. We screen our current inventory of homes to come up with possible matches. Since there is almost always some compromise involved when selecting a home, we may suggest alternatives that might work for buyers.
If you like a specific neighborhood where there are no homes in your price range, we may suggest homes in other areas with similar amenities. If you want four bedrooms, and one of them will be used as a home office, we may look for a den or family room that could serve your needs. When you look at houses, remember that your feedback is important to us--and it won't hurt our feelings.
